There is a meeting held for all the doctors and nurses where the directors enforces new regulations on the supplies doctors can use on patients. The hospital’s staff is required to account for everything they use like a thermometer or even just a towel. The director threatens the doctors that if there is extra missing, that will be deducted from the departments operating budget. The insensitivity that is shown is disgraceful and it is all because the bureaucrats’ only priority is getting the most “bang for your buck”. The administrators even go as far as to not keep medical records.
But all in all it was very forceful especially by the patients in their daily struggles. As well as powerfully compelling such as when Chief describes the patients, “Chronics are in for good, the staff concedes. Chronics are divided into Walkers like me, can still get around if you keep them fed, and Wheelers and Vegetables. What the Chronics are-or most of us-are machines with flaws inside that can't be repaired, flaws born in, or flaws beat in over so many years of the guy running head-on into solid things that by the time the hospital found him he was bleeding rust in some vacant lot” (Kesey 120). Thus, the climax of the novel occurs when McMurphy violates Nurse Ratched, “Then, just as she's rolling along at her biggest and meanest, McMurphy steps out of the latrine door right in front of her, holding that towel around his hips-stops her dead!
The documentary provided clear evidence of the bullying and mental and physical abuse of patients from members of staff at the hospital. Under investigation other failures arose such as patients staying too long and far away from their families/carers, a high rate of physical intervention and a clear management fail with no registered Manager in place, substandard recruitment processes and limited staff training. However, not only were there failures within the hospital, multiple agencies failed to pick up on key warning signs. There was nearly 150 separate incidents including A&E visits by patients, police attendance at the hospital and safeguarding concerns reported to the local council. The general point of view from the report is that there was a complete systematic failure within the establishment which was unacceptable and could have been picked up on earlier by outside agencies.

The overnight shift at the front desk of Concord’s Colonial Inn is a lot like most small inns. After the last guest is checked in, restaurants and bars closed, there’s paperwork, reports and printing out bills for those checking out in the morning to keep you busy during those hazy hours of sleeplessness. One evening, the quiet of the lobby was interrupted by a woman, whose attire made it fairly obvious that she had dressed in a hurry, running wild-eyed into the room. She conveyed in no uncertain terms that her room was haunted, that she would not be spending the night anyplace in the inn, and that someone was going to have to go up to her room and pack her bags, as she was not going back under any circumstances. The staff at the Colonial
Every time Mcmurphy asks if they could go on a field trip she would tell him that she must get permission from the doctor,and the patients on the ward. She made it impossible for McMurphy, and the other patients to do what they want. McMurphy asks her nicely if she could turn the volume of the music down, she told him that the older patients have nothing but the music. She does not care about the older patients she just wants to make everyone's life miserable. If she found out that any of the patients like something she would make sure it was removed, and if they hate it, she would have more of it.
I always tried to make the day go by faster but Sean had his eyes on me at all times. I was at the register when our Assistant manager came to me and said there was a drunken woman roaming the store and to try and steer clear of her. I looked at her like an idiot what does she expect me to do walk away from the register and hope no customers come. I mean how bad could the
“A Cream Cracker Under the Settee” is set in the semi-detached home of a frail, old lady called Doris. Doris has a cleaner from the council who threatens to put her in nursing home, if she continues to clean her house. Doris is very concerned about this happening to her, even though she is at the moment situated on the floor of her home, unable to get up. “The Laying on of Hands” is set at a memorial service, which is being held for a masseur, who was also a male prostitute to the rich and famous. No-one knew as to the real reason for Clive Dunlop’s death, but everyone had surmised that it was because of AIDS.
Noncompliance is dangerous for the patient and frustrating for the physician. Up to 11% of hospital admissions, 40% of nursing home admissions, and about 125,000 deaths a year are due to noncompliance with prescribed medication regimens, according to the American Pharmacists Association “Drugs don't work in patients who don't take them (APA, 1994)." It should not be different if the patient is indigent and can not pay the bill because as a healthcare professional you should always treat every patient with the same respect disregarding there economic standpoint, race, or color. The way the economy has been the last couple years has had a big impact on why more patients are noncompliant. Patients will not buy or take medications if they can not afford it.
