As a patient what would you rather....?

A health professional (be it nurse, doctor, therapist etc) who was able to see you on ward or at home when you required

OR

a health professional who is unable to see you in person because they are too busy filling out their development plans, setting objectives and attending supervision meetings where they talk about patients they cannot see for the above reasons!!

I saw only 3 patients last week (work 3.5) days because I had too many meetings, paperwork to complete about how to achieve poxy objectives like "supervision of students" , "completion of literature review" and running around getting info for managers to take to meetings.

What has happened to good old fashioned patient centred care!!!!

    I agree with you there is far too much bureaucracy in the healthcare system nowadays!

    I'd rather not see you at all.

    Nothing personal, of course. I would not want to have to see a dentist, rescue personnel or a judge and jury either :oP
