What Value a Paediatric Nurse?

I'm taking into consideration criticsicsm of my blog. I'm an ultra socialist, an extremist, anti entrepreneur, wimp, not in the real world. So I thought I would show that I have solutions to the problems I have highlighted in this blog. I'll start with values. How much is a bin man worth? How much is a Paediatric Nurse worth? How much is a Broadcaster worth? How much is a domestic attendant (cleaner) worth. What about a teacher? What about an assembly line worker? Builder. Architect. Shop assistant. Clerical officer. Child minder. Solicitor. Barrister. Footballer. Manager. Referee. Social worker. What about a wheelchair user? (employed)



I haven't put a banker or a developer in there. Didn't want to contaminate them. The rest of them I mean. OK. That was an extreme remark. I was listening to a debate on the radio a few weeks ago about the recession and who should take responsibility for it. Who should pay for it. And what will be the future result for the country? I would not be interested in the result for the country as the country will be run by the "Markets" and that doesn't mean the fish market in Belfast. That means the stock exchanges. Run by futures, derivatives and fake computer transactions to keep the multi billionaires multi billionaires.



But the purpose of today's blog is to examine the value of all of the above. If I pick the broadcaster it is highly likely that my blog will be destroyed by a virus. That protected species is in charge. Even the government who should be running the country jumps to his/her tune! If I pick the dealer (sorry I didn't get into drugs yet) on the London Stock exchange I'm in trouble again. I might affect the stock prices if I get too many hits on my site! So I'll do what everybody does. I'll pick on the hospital nurse. I am going to apologise to the rest of you nurses and all the angels and saints who look after the sick, handicapped and disabled in our health service. I really don't think any of you would mind if I highlight the Paediatric Nurse. You see the programme I was listening to was explaining about the banking system. Defending the huge salaries, pensions and bonuses of banking executives. The argument was that the cuts to €500,000 to executives of Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Bank and Anglo Irish Bank was justified. To support this some idiot confirmed that a senior executive of an Australian Bank had a salary of AU$6 million per year. It came out in the debate that that type of income was necessary because of the complexity of running a bank in modern times. All these figures are really, really complicated, complex.



Yes. That must be true. You know the way we do schemes in the British Isles to get people back into employment? Educational schemes. And you know the way there are lots of really, really really well educated students coming out of university with no job prospects? And you know how the industrial scene is so short of bank managers that can earn between half a million euro/dollars and six million dollars a year? Can I publicly address this request to the two Prime Minister's of Ireland, Brian Cowan and Britain's David Cameron? How about a training employment scheme for ten thousand people on how to become a Bank Executive? We could then discover all the secrets of how to defraud a country (sorry run a bank). We could also flood the market with all these really intelligent bankers (I was tempted to use the W word!) Yes we are expected to swallow the excuse that the reason why bankers need to be paid six million dollar wages, six million dollar bonuses and six million dollar pensions is that running a bank is so absolutely complex. So mind bogglingly difficult! Why did I pick a 24 year old Paediatric Nurse to defeat the sick and obnoxious idea that bankers are something special in our society. Bankers were the foundation of capitalistic dogma. When the banks were floated on the stock markets and went out of the Co-Operative and Credit Union type of financial system it was obvious that greed would take over. Shares in a bank! The joy of a venture capitalist. Now I will continue with the real complexities of life. I do so in sincerely hoping that the entire banking system will be banned in the UK and Ireland. That those involved in criminality within the financial services industry will take the places of those who were jailed for being unable to pay their TV licences, pay their mortgages or buy food for their families.



The Complexities of a Paediatric Nurse as opposed to the Complexities of an Executive Banker: 6.15 am. Get up and wake kids. Kids don't need to get up till 8am but nurse needs to be in at 8am. Get kids ready for school. Drop them off at baby sitter 7am. Go to work 8am to 8pm. Arrive 30 minutes early to exchange reports with night staff. To make sure the priority of those babies in danger of death within 24 hours are highlighted. Complex duties of a banker: Making sure the rich stay rich. Complex duties of a Paediatric Nurse: Eight children in ward as I arrive. Three new born's. Two critical, born early. Intubated one for surgery as soon as Paediatrician gets time. Parents to meet. Distracted. I can understand. Baby in fit. Emergency. Cardiac arrest. Eight of us go. Got her fixed. She's still alive. Going to theatre with baby A. Heart tubes wrong way round. This is really complicated. Trying to find his veins. I only qualified two weeks ago. This tiny little thing. I'm scared I will hurt him. The top Paediatrician is waiting on these bloods for theatre. I cant find the vein. Got it! Quick! Get him prepared. Go to theatre! First time I've watched an op. That man is a genius! Such a tiny, tiny little heart. To see Mr --------- working on a baby born eight weeks premature.

Bank of Ireland Clones County Monaghan Republic of Ireland. Wednesday morning. Notice says training. Opened at 10.30 am instead of 10 am. Closed at 12.30 pm. For lunch. Opened at 1.30pm again. Closed at 4.pm again. What if there was an emergency? Sorry. Snap out of it. 10.30 to 12.30 two hours. 1.30 to 4pm. Two and a half hours. I was in a hurry. Only 4 and a half hours opened? $6million? €127 million from Anglo Irish. €1.25 million bonus? Complex? Is it more complex finding the vein of a new born baby being prepared for heart surgery than it is for a major banker transferring ten billion Euros from one billionaires account to another billionaires account? Wake up world. It's important to have financial freedom. Capitalism is OK. So is socialism. Why does it have to compete and all be so unfair. Political dogma is creating billionaires and Cuban falsities.

Define Child Care: Dublin Style.

Headlines in the Media in Dublin are competing with the Markets, ("Gambling Casinos") and the HSE (Ireland's Health Authority). The media are competing. Not for the truth. But the scandal is good. A child called Daniel McAnespie was kidnapped, stabbed to death and buried in County Meath. When he was thirteen years old he had his throat cut. Over his short life he was attacked up to 80 times according to reports. This child has never (repeat never) been part of a family life e.g. Mammy, Daddy, sisters & brothers. But luckily he was placed in confidence by his family/local authority in the care of the HSE. Today the HSE refused to hand over information relating to 200 deaths of children who died under thier care to the Government of Ireland. The Government of Ireland announced that they would have to go through the long drawn out procedure of enacting new legislation to retrieve these secret documents! You ever hear the words " Your'e sacked"?!!! Dismantle the HSE within the next 48 hours. Take the information. The Irish Government have a police service. If they have been in charge while 200 children died in the care of the HSE then they must account for those two hundred deaths. Mary Harney rings a bell. Mary Harney must be able to get a scintilla of information!! My personal reccomendation is hand it over to the Gardai. Well no. Sure they still can't find Donegal. €127m from Anglo. This is the problem that covering up a crime creates. You end up with another crime. Or two hundred crimes. Gardai or police services should never have to be asked to investigate a crime by a government. Unless that government is part of the crime. Why did the Irish Government ask Ireland's police service to investigate the September 2007 collapse? Well obviously they knew there was someting suspicious. But why did the government know there was something suspicious? Surely a crafty police man would have got there first??? Then who appoints crafty police officers in Irealnd? Fianna Fail over the last thirteen years. Go on then Brian. Sack the HSE. Or start the legislation. Vomit comes to mind.

I didn't Vote for "The Markets"

Todays headlines give away how little democracy there is in this world. Stocks plunge because of Euro Zone worries. The Euro Zone was created by sixteen elected governments. Its about time those governments reined in the stock exchanges and the banks. If the stock exchanges or thier dealers are not happy with thier billions of profits put your selves up for election. Otherwise wind up or shut up.

A Constitution

Now I am actually using this thing as a daily diary. During our lives we confront things such as constitutions, deadlines, lines we should not cross. Standards for our siblings, our children. Our Grand children. We watch television programmes and some government representative or financial wizard says things like "the banks must get back to profit again". I think when I hear this that the master criminals of all master criminals will just escape justice and take the loot out the back door of the bank. Not like years ago when the robbers came in bravely through the front door. Ask for the money. Which was delivered in paper.

Now bank robbery is by computer. And by government. 95% of all major crime on earth is carried out by computer. The other 5% such as driving 8 miles an hour over the speed limit or having a bald tyre which could be disputed by a forensic expert if you could afford one. If you are caught speeding at the Armagh to Monaghan Road don't dispute it. You can't win. There's a funny thing about the hill. I watched my own video of being allegedly speeding. I still don't believe I was speeding. I paid the fine. I'm just another one of those people who just does not believe in the legal system. Because it strongly supports the criminal!!!.

Down to real important things. If I had a constitution this would be it: A little baby boy/girl has just been born in a hospital in Northern Ireland. Baby has been without oxygen for 6 minutes and needs huge intervention to save his/her life. Multi billionaire is making a speech at the London Stock exchange. He says "We need to cut back on public spending, public services. The market place must dictate how much we can spend on the hospitals, on psychiatric services, on the old, on children. Obviously I need to write a constitution that can address the greed of that person who sees only the personal need of him/her or their family to become millionaires, billionaires, or more popularly now, trillionaires.

So I want to protect the little new born baby. In Sudan, Somalia, Ballymena, Bristol, Ontario, or Adelaide Children's Hospital in Australia. My constitutional imperative is little children. The Child is the Constitution. That makes it difficult for Entrepreneurs. People for profit might have to look at their conscience.

I've started getting this out to the world. As a Dad and a Grandad of 16 lil ones (and some not so lil ones) I have to direct the audience of this blog to the core of my beliefs. I had a disagreement with my brother last night about the society we live in. My brother believes that "the markets" should dictate how we all live in this country (UK & Ireland). In other words if rich people make lots and lots & lots of money then they will be able to employ lots and lots of people (and servants). Then the rich people will stay rich and lots and lots and lots of people will live on £6.30 an hour. It's a very good idea. If your rich. Nite.

I'm a Silver Surfer

Well I'm back again. But I never went away. I've just been stuck here for 8 months because I didn't know what to do after I wrote my rant. Ok, blog. Today I went to my local library by invitation. I wanted to know what a twitter was. But the instructer from Silver Surfers Day called John got talking and he ended up helping me to get my blog published! What I didn't know was I was supposed to promote my blog myself. Not wait on somebody accidently coming accross it. Well you are the result. So starting tomorrow I will get back to writing the manifesto that will cure the world or our little countries of all thier woes. Quite easy really. But you'll have to wait till tomorrow.
