How shocking can it get?
According to estimates from Socialstyrelsen a whopping 3000 patients DIE EVERY YEAR!!!
.......... not because of some mysterious cow-/bird-/pig-or whatever imported pandemic epidemic.
But largely because of negligence, ignorance, sheer callousness, malpractise and shitty hygiene.
But largely because of negligence, ignorance, sheer callousness, malpractise and shitty hygiene.
And topped by stupidity, ignorance and inadequate training and education.
Whatever, in a country of only a few million and one that wrongly enjoys the reputation of being "clean"----------- this is simply tragic.
And 3000 is most probably only the tip of the dirtberg.
3000 are the dead ones.
Along with this come 100 000 and more that survive these onslaughts, often damaged for live, in all probability without any financial compensation left to fend largely for themselves.
Since accountability is not exactly a local sport, doctors and nursing staff, if they have done wrong, are rarely made financially accountable as is practised in civilized countries elsewhere.
In any case: only 1% of these malpractises were apparently reported in accordance with the "Lex Maria".
That is another breath taking number.

How Göran Hägglund, honourable Minister for Health and Social Affairs, intends to change this, ....jag vet inte.
However, he has already realized that this situation is a fiasco.
That, one should hope, is the first step.
That, we know, is most probably where it will all stay and be as harmful and injurious to health like a nonsterile needle and dirty hands.
