   ‘…Paul Pace, il-President tal-Union tal-Infermiera u l-Qwiebel (MUMN) meta kien mistoqsi minn il-mument ikkonferma li l-union għadha għaddejja bid-direttivi lill-infermieri biex ma jagħmlux ċertu xogħol fil-kuruturi fosthom dak marbut ma’ tkeffin ta’ pazjenti.

   Din id-direttiva daħlet fis-seħħ hekk kif kien feġġ l-ewwel każ ta’ mewt ta’ pazjent f’wieħed mill-kuruturi. L-MUMN kienet ġiet mgħarrfa b’din is-sitwazzjoni mill-infermieri stess minħabba li l-iffullar ta’ pazjenti ma kienx jippermettilhom li jsir it-tkeffin ġ kemm minħabba raġunijiet ta’ etika medika u drittijiet tal-pazjent kif ukoll minħabba li kif inhi s-sitwazzjoni, m’hemmx purtieri li jifirdu pazjent minn ieħor, u għaldaqstant din is-sitwazzjoni hija ta’ umiljazzjoni ferm aktar għall-pazjenti….’

   This when the ex-minister denounced he had been undermined by the PM.

   A year after having dismantled every agreement with private hospitals, this government makes another U turn and announces a series of agreements.

   So sorry if some were left to die in a corridor, we’ll get better.

   I just can’t imagine what the hospital will look like in 7 months’ time come December/January under the super-management of Konrad Fenominali, when the population on average gets sicker with influenza and the like.

   Incredible!

   Who is next on the marching order list?

   Chris Fearne and his senior minister.

   So now not one but two.

   State of the art hospital run by a bunch of dilettantes.

   I had to help a dear friend who was squirming in extreme pain. It was his last stay in hospital. It took the casualty department 12 hours to realise that they had a patient in a very serious heart condition, then a visibly overworked English doctor took over.

   My friend’s health seriously deteriorated since he badly needed oxygen due to his condition.

   There was no space in any ward for this 67-year-old patient. He was left in a corridor on a bed resembling a stretcher.

   Days later he passed away.

   I worry about anyone needing hospitalisation now. I never believed that we would come to this.
