Hospital hoping to save cash tells families to stop visiting sick relatives and instead call them on SKYPE
How unfeeling can you get ?
If you have ever spent any time in a hospital, either as a patient or as a visitor you will know that hospitals can be soul destroying places at the best of times.
From the patients perspective a visit from friends or relatives can be a morale boosting experience. It also can help to pass the time as news of the outside world is introduced. From the outsider’s perspective it can be a reassuring time. To confirm that your friend or relative is OK and on the mend.
Hospitals are supposed to provide “HealthCare“. Care being the operative word. Unfortunately, bean-counters don’t care about the patients. The only thing that motivates them is the bottom line.
To suggest that a phone call could ever replace a visit shows the most heartless minds at work.
