Preserving Patient Dignity (Formerly: Patient Modesty):Volume 106





The Graphic starting out Volume 106 came from a British doctor blogger blog titled "Dr. Grumble" presenting views of medical life within Great Britain in a series of posting topics with
reader responses from 2006 to 2015. Many issues discussed are what we have discussed and are discussing on my blog here.. but from a British experience. Go to the above link for a bit of insight into Dr. Grumble's grumbling but return and go ahead and "grumble" here.   p.s.- Doesn't the Graphic fit with our current discussion?  ..Maurice.




Maybe what is needed to improve the medical system as it interacts with patients is simple empathy.    Graphic: From Google Images.


AS OF DECEMBER 10 2019, THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER COMMENTS PUBLISHED
ON THIS VOLUME. COMMENTS CAN CONTINUE ON VOLUME 107

NO RESPONSE is NO "DISCUSSION"

What I have noticed as Moderator of this Bioethics Discussion Blog is that there is the fact that readers contribution of their own views have been markedly absent if the last visitor posting was years previously.  Yet,  I find with documented evidence, that there are currently repeated access to these "older" thread title subjects but nobody currently writes presumably because they might assume that the topic discussion is closed.  And yet, most of the topics, even if years have passed without comment by readers, are actually of current interest and are currently being referred to by Google and other resources and are actually being read. No reactive response means no discussion!

My request is for readers who access those "older" blog thread titles to realize that they are CURRENTLY being read by others, are of CURRENT INTEREST and should be written to, presenting your opinion, even if the last visitor comment posting was 5, 10 or more years ago. Your words and views will be read by myself but also by others.. so let's hear from you and your opinions.  Remember: NO RESPONSE IS NO DISCUSSION and this a Bioethics DISCUSSION Blog. ..Maurice.
