He was invariably very helpful.
Now the Moncton Hospital is a cog in a provincewide RHA, and there are quite literally four different levels of management that have to be navigated before a request reaches anyone with any decision making power. The people who make the decisions are so far removed from the problems that they have very little idea about the consequences of their decisions and are shielded from any meaningful feedback. It's a horrible and demoralizing situation.  |
My brother in Halifax is right in the middle of the scenario you describe. He is developing a tool that will help Nurses save their backs and has satisfied numerous regulatory ,funding, and patent process's. Literally about 15 hurdles have been jumped but NSH may be a hill too tall to climb. The Empires will be protected.
