More bad shoddy inadequate government by PM Albanese Gov. Can not even see that an adequate supply of medical saline fluids is kept at sufficient levels for all our hospitals to operate as normal. The way GreenFarLeftAlboLabor ABC is reporting these problems, imagine how much worse the reality must be.
Quote [Patients are having to stay in hospital care units after surgery for longer, as doctors are forced to ration IV fluids amid a worldwide shortage.An internal email sent at one major Sydney hospital on Wednesday night, obtained by the ABC, tells staff there had been instances of patients who had "little or no" IV fluid administered during an operation having to stay in the recovery unit for longer because of hypotension and dehydration.Doctors are also warning the critical IV fluid shortage could impact some elective surgeries, and say they have been "left in the dark" over the extent of shortages.Pressure is mounting on federal health authorities to do more to guarantee supply of the lifesaving essential medicine, as the health system grapples with the impact of a worldwide acute shortfall of products like saline and sodium lactate solution.IV fluids are a critical medicine used across the sector, from treating sepsis and dehydration to helping patients in intensive and post-operative care.The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) president David Story accused health authorities of providing "inadequate information" about the extent of the shortage and what to expect in the future."We're being left in the dark as to what is happening about the fluid situation across the country," he said.]
I heard a surgeon on ABC News24 TV in last hour saying in effect - "how come we can not produce sterile salt water products here in Australia?"
I think an answer to the good surgeon would involve our idiot corrupt unions - Who in their right mind wants to start manufacturing here with Labors unions running amok ?
