From Perth this time
The head of Perth Children’s Hospital has resigned amid an overhaul following the death of seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath.
He was at the helm when Aishwarya died of sepsis in April last year, after presenting to the hospital’s emergency department with a fever.
An internal review into her death found staff had missed opportunities to escalate her care despite her parents pleading for help

Well, the manager is finally gone from this Perth hospital, and an inquest into the treatment of the little girl's death is underway
The excuse coming from the hospital staff is "staff shortages"
It begs this question: Which is more important, the hospital staff's gripes, or the lives of patients?
The apparent answer is the staff's gripes ... and they are prepared to let people die to get their message across, even children can die for all they care
Reminiscent of concentration camps in Germany I hate to say. The head of the nurses union was disgusting, excusing her members for the callous way they treated the parents of the innocent daughter, not to mention their treatment of the little girl herself, she died of sepsis in the emergency waiting room
So let's look at the meaning of "Emergency" ....
We get ...
emergency | ɪˈməːdʒ(ə)nsi |
noun (plural emergencies)
1 a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action
Now let's look at the meaning of "Waiting" (as in Waiting Room) ...
waiting | ˈweɪtɪŋ |
noun [mass noun]
1 the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or event: years of waiting.
Perhaps the two conflict, but one should take precedence over the other at all times. Intelligent people would know which one that should be
Good riddance to the manager
