People on the Isle of Albion had begun to ask: ‘Have they exchanged the Hippocratic oath for a hypocritic oath?’. The attitude of many so-called healthcare workers seemed to have deteriorated to the extent that they now put money above lives.
Despite being amongst the most highly paid workers on the Isle of Albion, the doctors and nurses kept pressurising the government for ever higher salaries. ‘We want more! More! More!’ they chanted, as they commenced their umpteenth strike.
Without an ounce of shame, they even attempted to hold the public and the government to ransom, at the time of a General Election, by once again withdrawing from work. Their actions indicated that they had not a care for the millions of people who suffered, each time they went on strike.
Things had begun to get worse after the Great Pandemic, when thousands of doctors had begun to work remotely. (‘Yippee!’, many exclaimed as they drank tea, whilst watching daytime TV at home, on full salary.) Whereas, before the pandemic a person could expect to receive an appointment with a doctor within 24 hours, after the pandemic, for reasons that were never explained, the waiting time changed from 24 hours, to 2 or 3 weeks.
Unbeknown to the public, the Health Service had also quietly become one of the leading causes of death and serious injury amongst the population. It didn’t matter what a person’s age: newborn, child, adult, elderly, all were suffering at the hands of the medics. Catastrophic injuries, overdosing, death during routine procedures, the list went on.
And as if to make matters worse, the Health Service employed an army of lawyers to defend the indefensible, by attempting to deny responsibility for the deaths and injuries caused, resulting in long legal battles to obtain compensation by victims and their families, with a callous disregard for the ongoing trauma they caused.
And in what seemed very sinister habits, some covered up failures, others altered records, whilst many inflicted an appalling policy upon dying patients called The Liveable Care Pathway, which contrary to what it seemed, was not about making a dying person’s final moments ‘liveable’, but rather involved the process of withdrawing support from them, including withholding liquid and food, which made the process of dying far more traumatic than it needed to be. ‘She’s showing us the way’, nurses routinely said, with sickly smiles on their faces, as they sought to justify the inhumane policy.
As a result, some people had begun to notice that vets often treated animals better than patients were being treated on the Isle of Albion. Indeed, as billions were pumped into the so-called Health Service, the state of the nation’s health deteriorated.
Eventually the government gave in, by increasing the salaries of the striking medics. Immediately, the first response of the medics was to increase waiting lists, extend the policy of remote working and cancel millions of operations, due to ‘insufficient funding’. At this point, the public’s patience with the Health Service finally expired!
