I am appalled by the treatment that Mr John Williams received at the Aberdeen Hospital. I would like to think that it is an isolated case and that it hasn't happened to others and that no-one else needs fear what treatment they will receive. But the question is there and it won't go away. Who is protecting the patients from the bullies and the badgers? How many failures in the system have never been disclosed? Scary thoughts.
I know that individuals who have not received the training required to do a job competently will usually fail, and in the case of caring for the ill, the elderly and the disadvantaged that failure can have serious consequences. Mr. Williams is the case in point. Tomorrow I will post the draft form of the first letter that I will be asking friends, family and acquaintances to complete and forward to their MLA and MP, as well as the Minister of Health and the premier. We need a strong letter writing campaign to voice concerns, demand action and improve communications.
