A recent article in the local paper made me stop and think.
Wait . . . our hospital is fighting a deficit, is laying off countless RN’s and other support staff. Our ICU is full of patients waiting for floor beds and are even being discharged home because there is such bed shortage. OR hours are being cut to save money. But we can still afford to buy 1800 (yes, one thousand eight hundred!) Apple iPads.
Does this make any sense?
Hold on . . . this is the hospital where the CEO has the highest salary of any hospital CEO in eastern Ontario. Tipping the scales at over $700 000 a year.
Aaaah . . . so nothing here is supposed to make any sense.

I nearly fell off the chair reading about thy $100 million… let’s face it, the ipads are about cool gadgets for the docs…
