In a generally bad, pretentious hospital and I have seen, witnessed, experienced now in 4 Montreal Hospitals too, they tend to do a superficial cure, they generally deal with the prevalent symptoms, not the main root medical problems, causes and so next it is likley the patient continues to return too many times to the hospital because of their sickness..a wasteful, cost full approach now too.
.
Which now reminds me when was the last time actually that a medical administrator, doctor, nurse, hospital worker was charged with criminal abuse of a sick person too?
.
Now a St Luc Hospital nurse too easily this week quarantined my mother as having a contagious disease in the hospital as a merely hunch, prevention medicine, a bad nurse practicing medicine, being a doctor without a license. So when I personally next asked the nurse what specific disease my mother had that she was caring, curing her for, was it a Novavirus? Next the nurses had replied that she did not know, and she did not read the charts, and what was she treating my mother then for? Merely going through the pretentious motions of caring for the patient again and again? So next I had asked the visiting Gastritis doctor as to what proof he had that my mother was sick with a contagious disease and what the disease was called and he next replied to me that was a good question, he needed to look into it for he did not know himself.. The doctor next lifted the quarantine. Wow.. What about getting real medical care.

Now here is some more of my own undeniable witness this week too.
1: For the second time this week a Montreal Quebec CHUM St Luc Hospital geriatric 3rd floor nurse approaches an elderly English speaking patient and says next to her, I will be your nurse for today, or this evening, I only speaking in French, for she lies when she says she cannot speak English, and I reply that is unacceptable since the elderly person by Quebec law now has a right to be spoken in the language of her choice which is English. Otherwise I will be contacting the news media, ombudsman, the justice ministers as well, and remarkably the nurse next learns to speak English profusely even in five minutes too.
/
Two days later next the same circus repeats itself when another new nurse approaches the same elderly English speaking patient and says to her, I will be your nurse for today, or this evening, I only speaking in French, for she says he cannot speak English, and I again reply that is unacceptable since the person by law now has a right to be spoken in the language of her choice which is English. This nurse still maintains she cannot speak English. So I rightfully suggest she go and find another job, even a present replacement for herself, and I rightfully request a nurse that can speak English. She next goes and speak to her supervisor and the supervisor next came with her and when I explained to the supervisor the right of an English speaking patient by Quebec, Federal law to an English speaking nurse the supervisor replies she is not sure about that, I point out to the supervisors that it is now much too late to try to teach an 84 years old patient to speak French and she agrees. So she agrees to be a translator.
.
Now this type of fiasco had repeated itself in my witness four times already this year even at the Montreal west Island General Hospital and that is always still unacceptable. Now do contact the Hospitals and make sure it never happens again!
Still the police spend most of their time and energy on revenue generating traffic tickets, which are not even the major causes of accidents too.
Public exposure and exemplary prosecution of the guilty serves every one’s best interest, the guilty persons included now.
.
Our own Health authorities are continually reminding all of the people about personal hygiene measures like hand washing during THE GASTRITIS AND flu season.. THE Montreal ST LUC HOSPITAL HAS THIS WEEK HAD A MAJOR OUTBREAK OF GASTRITIS AMONGST IT’S PATIENTS RESTRICTING THE NUMBER OF VISITORS.
.
Hospitals seriously now need to do a much better job here in helping the sick patients..
MY HAVING 2 VERY SENIOR , ELDERLY PATIENTS, MEANT THAT I SPENT MORE TIME IN EMERGENCY, TRIAGE, HOSPITALS OVER WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY. I COULD NOT HELP BUT THERE ENCOUNTER MANY PATIENTS WHO HAD OR DEVELOPED A PREVENTABLE INFECTIOUS DISEASE, EVEN ,GASTRITIS IN HOSPITALS AND I WAS THUS NEXT INTERESTED IN THE MAJOR CAUSES OF THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES, IT’S SPREAD, GASTRITIS INCLUDED AND THE TOO OFTEN INFECTIVE APPROACH IN CURING IT TOO IN OUR HOSPITALS.
.
Gastritis means inflammation of mucus lining of the stomach.
.
Gastritis is a common medical problem. Up to 10% of people who come to a hospital emergency department with abdominal pain have gastritis and yet most hospitals still tend to respond very poorly to it. Why?
.
Gastritis is a very troublesome disease and can give rise to many life threatening problems, if it is not treated in time.
.
There are several causes of gastritis. The most common causes of gastritis are: Aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs, Potassium supplements, Iron tablets, which may explain why many elderly patients have it too. Infections with bacteria, viruses, or fungi can cause gastritis. Worldwide, the most common cause of gastritis is infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria. Viral or fungal gastritis may develop in people who have had a prolonged illness or an impaired immune system. For some people, a drug allergy or food poisoning can cause gastritis.
.
Many of the households who used sodium hydrogen sulphate amogst many other products could face next gastritis. Sodium hydrogen sulphate is used In a variety of food products includes beverages;dressing sauces and fillings. In the processing of meat and poultry, in detergents, swimmin pools too, and in the metal finishing;cleaning products and also it lowers pH for effective chlorination.
.
Atrophic gastritis is a form of gastritis found particularly in the elderly, where stomach cells are destroyed, potentially leading to pernicious anemia.The main symptoms of gastritis are loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. There is pain and discomfort in the region of the stomach. Other symptoms are a coated tongue, foul breath, bad taste in the mouth, increased flow of saliva, scanty urination, a general feeling of uneasiness, and mental depression. In more chronic cases, the patient complaints of heartburn and a feeling of fullness in the abdomen, especially after meals. Generally, treatment for gastritis involves antacids and other medications aimed at reducing stomach acid, relieving symptoms, and promoting the healing of the stomach lining, as acid irritates the inflamed tissue.
.
Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria that infects the stomach. Infection with this bacteria may lead to chronic gastritis. Doctors use several different types of method to treat H. Pylori infection. Most use a combination of two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor. Sometimes bismuth (Pepto-Bismol) also is added to the mix. The antibiotic helps destroy the bacteria, and the acid blocker or proton pump inhibitor relieves pain and nausea, heals inflammation and may increase the antibiotic’s effectiveness.
.
1 Although I had seriously suspected my mother had gastritis, EVIDENT due to her major vomiting, LIKELY GIVEN TO HER BY HER CLSC NURSE, so on December 18,2010 I also had face to face told the head nurse at the Montreal St. Luc hospital that fact. But next it took at least 5 days for the hospital next to confirm it. By that time the disease had spread to the whole Hospital floor. While the doctors were treating one of her symptoms they too easily forgot the others even very apparently because of lack of coordination, communication between the various medical specialists now here involved too which increased her hospital stay period.but EVEN AFTER SHE WAS NO LONGER SICK THEY NOW FALSELY KEPT HER UNDER QUARANTINE FOR DAYS AS WELL.
.
2 Studies do tend to show that the medical Risks are higher for weekend, holiday admissions even for gastritis. People get ill 24/7 so hospitals should be adequately staffed 24/7.
.
“Being admitted to hospital with internal bleeding on a bank holiday pushes up the risk of dying by 41%, researchers have said. Inadequate staff cover and a lack of access to hospital tests means patients are more likely to die than those admitted on normal week days. Admission on a weekend also increases the risk of death by 13%.
The research, by experts at the University of Swansea, looked at admissions for upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, which can be caused by a range of conditions including ulcers and gastritis.
.
It confirms other studies which show a higher chance of dying if a person is admitted to hospital on weekends.
.
In June, a review found that the death rate among NHS emergency admissions across England increased by 7% at weekends in 2005/06.
.
Experts said one reason was a lack of consultants and fewer specialist services available at the weekend, including diagnostic tests.
.
And last week, the Royal College of Physicians warned that patients are being left in the hands of junior doctors because of inadequate consultant cover on weekends.
.
Dr Stephen Roberts said: “The higher death rates for weekend and public holiday admissions could not be explained by differences in the patients admitted and may be down to reduced staffing levels or delays in investigative procedures such as endoscopy (an internal examination). It is very clear from our research that further studies are needed to understand why death rates are much higher at weekends and on public holidays than during the week.” http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5gqXaAAjHmonAd8ZGciO3h-72mKCw?docId=N0054981291900032172A

Gastroenteritis (also known as gastro, gastric flu, tummy bug and stomach flu, (although unrelated to influenza) is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, involving both the stomach and the small intestine (see also gastritis and enteritis) and resulting in acute diarrhea or by severe vomiting.. Infectious gastroenteritis which can often be seasonally common even in Hospitals now too may be caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites.
.
And it is important to distinguish between bacterial and viral infections in regard to the treatment as well.. Bacteria, and parasites can be treated with antibiotics but Viruses do not respond to antibiotics .
.
Noroviruses are the leading cause of foodborne disease outbreaks worldwide, and may soon eclipse rotaviruses as the most common cause of severe pediatric gastroenteritis. Norovirus gastroenteritis can cause significant morbidity and mortality among children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.
.
Also rotavirus, norovirus, gastritis, gastroenteritis, C-DIFFICILE, ARE ALL VERY QUICKLY SPREAD BUT NOT SO EASILY CURED and what many media fail to report is that both doctors and nurses themselves are too often the biggest carriers.
