RE: First aid - No aid

in Reflectionslast year

That's why I was telling you the other day that I like the work you do in your posts about food and a healthier lifestyle. I wish more people did that. It's something so simple and necessary that I think that's why it's so hard.

COVID already showed how inefficient the health systems are and the worst thing is that that's the everyday life of many.

You don't know how many people we receive in the hospital that if they had been triaged before they could be saved and at the same time there are other people who come early and because we don't have supplies we can't attend them. As you say my father was lucky, but every day I see people who run that luck. It's a shame, but I guess that's the world we live in

Oh yeah, I agree the pandemic highlighted a distinct shortfall and it'll happen again, to think otherwise would be naive in the extreme.

Here, they have beds lining corridors as they don't have space on wards, and they leave people sitting in chairs for hours due to a lack of beds...keep in mind this is in brand new hospitals, not old facilities. I don't see anything like what you'd see every day, only a small snapshot, but it's enough to understand that the system is broken. The sad thing is, many other systems we rely on every day are also broken...just ask our Hive friends in South Africa about their power grid for instance.

So many problems bro, so many.
