CHILD cancer patients with damaged immune systems are being placed in filthy, rundown isolation rooms at one of the State's premier hospitals.
In some rooms in the oncology ward of Sydney Children's Hospital at Randwick, airconditioning vents are filled with thick dust, mould is growing in bathrooms and meals are placed in the same cupboard as bedpans.
Todd Leach, the father of six-year-old Hailey Ryan Leach, who has just undergone a bone-marrow transplant for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, took photographs in Ward 2 West, where Hailey was supposed to be in isolation for 100 days to protect her compromised immune system.

If [the poor] would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.
Ewww - Ronald McDonald House this ain’t...
This is what happens when medical employees operate under giant umbrella of the Peter principle.
Welcome to Obamacare!
The “joys” of Gooberment healthcare - coming soon to a hospital near you.
An isolation room is suppose to be under positive pressure when dealing with a person with a weak immune system. This means the vents are suppose to be blowing air constantly into the room, they are also suppose to in near sterile conditions. The idea that dust or mold could grown in these rooms show they are no longer isolation rooms. These kids might as well sit in a inner city ER waiting room in Chicago at 3AM, it would be cleaner.

Number 7:
Bare-bones hospital care: Patients of all ages (and all incomes) will suffer when hospitals are in financial distress. Hospital budget cuts will mean shortages of nurses, equipment and cleaning staff. The president’s chief health advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, argues that hospitals in the U.S. offer more privacy and comfort than hospitals in Europe, and this “abundance of amenities” drives up costs (Journal of the American Medical Association, June 18, 2008).
I did not read the article, so perhaps he already did this:
Dad/parents should get in there with some bleach and take it upon themselves to clean that up. Not just take photos. Part of the problem is the victim mentality.
Stand guard. Insist each person entering wash their hands and mask up. Keep a mask on the child. Etc.
If the press thinks this is inhumane, let them each reach into their OWN pockets and pay to change it through charitable giving, rather than spewing propaganda designed to justify more taxes on others.
This is in England...
I used to think Soylent Green was implausible. I see it now as an outocme of Obama-ocracy.
“This is in England...”
Doesn’t matter: someone thinks someone is hungry, don’t tug at our heart strings and expect we’ll approve more taxes - give them a sandwich yourself! Same government-media complex world-wide.
No, this is in Australia.

A window on Obamacare.
