Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

        >> Nurses at Gosport discuss the possible fate of an 80yr old patient because he was perceived as 'difficult': "I remember having a conversation with one of the other auxiliaries [Marion] . . . we agreed that if he wasn’t careful he would ‘talk himself onto a syringe driver’ "

        >>"We English have a talent for euphemism. Now we’ve got a new one. For killing, say “life-shortening”. Much more acceptable. Especially if this happens at the hands of the NHS" These word games show as much disregard for human life as the original crimes they attempt to diminish

        >> "Almost all these deaths were attributed to pneumonia, though, as Jones notes, without any further explanation." "Exactly the same cause of death was routinely given by those doctors involved in the “life-shortening” of the mentally incapacitated in Germany in 1939-41." #GWMH

        I have long suspected that ‘complexed needs’ is often used as a euphemism for ‘disabled’ as discrimination in healthcare because someone is disabled is unlawful so this is masked it seems by referring instead to patients having ‘complex needs’.

        I'm inclined to agree. Smacks of being a cover-all justification sometimes. We know coded notes like 222 and 'BUNDY' were inappropriately used previously. I can't imagine those were the only prejudices to be found for anyone who cared enough to go looking.

        Just did a quick google and found more than enough sites listing highly offensive terms used by medics about patients & articles justifying use as ‘humour’. Impact of derogatory language on culture, values & attitudes clearly poorly understood.

        It permeates. It normalises. And ultimately, it kills. There's no excuse for it. Zero tolerance needed, imho.

        Agree. Adam was on a ward where the nurses described themselves as being ‘a bit special’ when they made an silly error & even shouted it down the ward. When I explained many reasons why it was totally inappropriate language esp. on a children’s ward they simply didn’t understand.

        Auxiliary nurse isn't a nurse. She wouldn't have known dosages etc. or monitored syringe pumps

        That did occur to me, yes. But it also occurred to me that you don't need clinical qualifications to recognise that patients put on a syringe driver leave an empty bed behind soon after. Or even to form an opinion about the attitudes/actions of clinical staff.

        I take your point but I really think that it was the qualified staff who should have been policing each other's actions.

        To be fair, there was a group of whistleblowing nurses saying pretty much the same thing too. They just got silenced. But the concerns they raised were broadly in keeping with the auxiliary nurses' conversation.

        The lesson from all this will be don't be difficult, rather than don't be criminally arrogant.
