And an interesting phrase to try and turn around on some people ( this
is not entirely related to the practice of medicine , nursing or any
other form of healthcare , although the frustratiosn with management do
seem quite common in health care)
'where is the evidence' they ask when concerns are raised the the
diminuation of service or the harassment , bullying and personal glory
quests of individuals ... And conveniently try and make out you are
attempting to make trouble and/or 'throw mud' at individuals (
particularly if the individual whose actions are being questioned is
of higher status in the organisation in question )
Since when doe " I'm not happy with how something is going and I think
we need to take a look at things 2 have the acceptable answer of "
where's the evidence to justiofy your accusations" evidence comes from
investigation surely?
