DOCTORS AND NURSES - Monday 8th March 2010

Doctors and nurses around the country are going ga ga as Kevin Rudd continues his inexorable march through every hospital front door in the country.

The doctors and nurses are lapping up this reform. It means more money for this bloated, inefficient and expensive industry, the industry that has overseen the worst downturn in the health of the country in its history.

The doctors and nurses are drooling in expectation of the goodies that are going to drop from the government tree into their waiting arms. They're dressed up in their Sunday best lapping up these visits with goog-goog-googley eyes.

They'll be able to work less hours for more money. There'll be more people to do the work.

Mark my words, things are going to get worse, not better. The medical industry is one patient in terminal decline. You wouldn't be on this one.

On the track
Went for a walk with the boys. I'm a bit disinterested at the moment.

I might take a week off and let my metabolic clock reset itself.

In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned and if you're in hospital don't let Kevin Rudd sit on your bed.

RUDD STEPS UP TO THE PLATE - Sunday 7th March 2010

Kevin Rudd continues his inexorable march around the country with the Minister for health in tow.

He's stepping up to the plate.

The great tragedy is it's the wrong plate.

Instead of going into fitness centres he's traipsing around hospitals.

You know that's bunkum.

You know that the more money spent on propping up a bloated, inefficient and expensive medical industry the more bloated, inefficient and expensive it will become, going cap in hand for more money next year.

Every year for the last 20 years the government has given this industry another couple of billion dollars. Every year it has become more bloated, inefficient and more expensive.

The first couple of billion was tragedy, the tens of billions since have been farce.

Mark my words, this industry is not going to become more efficient by throwing money at it.

The people of Australia are not going to become fitter and healthier. That's the benchmark

On the track
30 minutes on the stepper all at level 6.

A token performance.

In the meantime stay tuned and steer clear of Kevin Rudd dressed in a blue smock and hair net.

HOSPITAL REFORM - Saturday 6th March 2010

The big news this week is the Rod Laver government's new hospital reform agenda.

I’m not sure what it is. All I know if I see Kevin Rudd and his Minister for Health traipsing around hospitals dressed up like surgeon just one more time I'm going to force my fingers down my throat. How in the name of fortune do these people find time to do any work?

It's bunkum; just old wine in old bottles; just reshuffling the cards; just another excuse to throw another billion dollars at a bloated, over-protected medical industry. No-one is going to become fitter and healthier by this pointless exercise.

I say, float and sell off the hospitals; let the medical industry run its own affairs.

There is no more reason for governments to run hospitals than there is for them to run airlines and banks.

On the track
Spent 30 minutes on the stepper at level 6. Energy coming back. 509 steps and 389 calories.

In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned and you won't have to go to hospital.
