How about a hospital with no clocks at all ... with the patients patiently waiting (is that why they're called patients?)
Had to laugh at that
Trouble with PFI contracts are that the people who sign it off never really get the correctly qualified people to read through their bit. As such so much is missed.
Another tradition used to be that nurses wore watches on their uniforms (how "synchronized" were they, I wonder)
Its a shame that the watches aren't used in the same way now...trouble is we have turned into the USA now where everyone can get sued for breathing incorrectly.
I agree that Elapsed time is very important, however when giving medication it the time given thats required. I used to have to give medication to my daughter at certain times and had to record it in case it was my wife who was doing the next session, if I didn't do it at the right times it would cause her to have seizures. now again, unfortunately it has to be said, but take that scenario to a hospital with nurses and allow the seizure to take place, then we are back to the USA syndrome..
