What a sad reflection on a caring profession. When the patient has
become a fiancial package to the "back-stop" of our society, I really
wonder whether you should be in an executive position. Don't you think '
you should be challenging the authority of the authorities rather than
making callous remarks.
Many people are "remotely ambulant", but that does not mean that they
can be moved safely, without pain or mental trauma. Practitioners should
avoid "word games" at all cost. So sould you.
