I didn't know Canada celebrated Thanksgiving, happy Thanksgiving to you, splendid looking meal, but now sit back and relax.........AND KEEP OUT of your in-laws kitchen.
Bedflow, not know that phrase , here in the UK is is all about bed-blocking.......... Old folk, nowhere else to go.
Yeah Thanksgiving is a very North American holiday so Canada definitely partakes.
Yes, bed-blocking is also a concern here and related to bed flow. It's all about getting people out of beds and back to the community to make room for new patients. Baby boomers are hitting that age now - coming to the hospital in droves. The theory that has been discussed repeatedly for decades is now happening, and yet the system is unprepared. Why prepare for something in advance when you can scramble to deal with it in the moment that it's happening? 🙄 that's the thought process I guess.
forward planning doesn't seem to exist these days, its all about the bottom line, hospitals run like businesses, targets to meet.
ps, thanks for the heads up, I am a baby boomer lol
Yeah but you're European so you are probably much healthier than us North Americans. You probably have lots of time before you need to worry about frequent and long term hospital visits.
Thanks Doc. lol
