MSM lies by ommission - Syne - Oct 25, 2020 From a leftist source: A lack of cardiac surgery facilities may have contributed to the deaths of four babies at Adelaide’s Women’s and Children’s hospital over the past month, a South Australian parliamentary committee has been told, prompting calls for an inquiry. And then the whole story: How Victoria's lockdown killed four newborn babies: Distraught families told that their children were not permitted to enter Victoria for emergency heart surgery before they died And what else did Associate Professor John Svigos say, that the MSM omitted? Associate Professor John Svigos told the South Australian parliament's public health services committee that Melbourne's lockdown meant transfer was not available. And Victoria's response: Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews said in a press conference on Wednesday that the children were not kept away due to lockdown. The Daily Mail article goes on to explain that Adelaide has wanted more resources, including a cardiac unit, for quite some time. So it really sounds like they used Covid lockdown as an excuse to justify their need for more resources at the cost of human lives. Another perverse incentive of Covid causing more and needless death.

Neighbor country New Zealand has rural healthcare problems in terms of services, equipment, and finding staff. But Adelaide is a large city -- its population still can't produce enough emergency cases per year to justify the cost? Australia supposedly spends less than half per person what the US does on healthcare (link below). Do fewer expert or specialized surgeons, less equipment and resources contribute to part of that or is this women's/children's hospital purely an anomaly? I guess the portrayal in the article (via the outrage) leans toward the latter. Health care costs by country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/health-care-costs-by-country Aside from US hospitals just laying on more expenses and charges when a patient is insured as opposed to less when they're paying out of pocket, without it... Lack of caps on litigation (where applicable) is potentially a significant contributor to health costs in the US. This paper dates back to 2004, though... Medical malpractice litigation raises health-care cost, reduces access, and lowers quality of care https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15500024/ |
