Fragmented Health In Australia's Medical System

This is great, in one way, and the high profile of Wickham will help to push the cause to a fast fruition.

But there is a downside to this campaigning. The whole of the health system is in a shambles. As an adult I spent over a week in children' ward because there were no adult beds. I even got served children's sized meals and woke up to Mickey Mouse music and Donald Duck posters on the walls.

Disgraceful really. But it serves to show that the problem between the different "departments" within the health system are over taxed and over burdened everywhere. This campaigning will only serve to further fragment the health system. Campaigning should be taking place everywhere for the whole picture not just pieces.

Fragmenting into groups like this serve to keep the "whole picture" from the public. That pictures is clearly visible and saying that the total health system needs to be overhauled, not just cancer, not just children's services, not just hep c, not just AIDS, not just womens services. The whole lot needs restructuring and modernization. Procedures have to be completely overhauled and drastic changes made.

But health is a low priority in these ages. It is too much a drain on the economy so the weak fall by the wayside, health is not the rich industry to get into, Funeral homes and crematoriums are the new rags to riches trade and are being consumed and taken over by multi national conglomerates at a rapid speed. Patients are continually put into the too hard basket and left by the side to die painful miserable deaths from chronic diseases, viruses and cancers that could have been cured if acted on quick enough or thoroughly enough.

With the public system in disarray the correct testing is not carried out.
