weekend events

I went to visit a friend in the hospital a couple of times this past weekend. I was shocked to hear about all the snafu's (old military term for goof-ups) that had happened. Doctors with different opinions, nurses coming in to do something that had already been done, thinking he was someone else. The excuse given him was that there were substitue nurses and doctors working. Good news is, nothing bad actually happened. I was comparing that with my experience in a different hospital. As I remember nothing like that happened to me, but I will admit I wasn't always aware of what was happening. I do know neither Carol or my sons who were there mentioned anything like that and they were watching for such things. Maybe it was because I was in a much more specialized area, the heart monitoring section.
The medical field appears to in need of more workers, I wonder if it is only going to get worse as the baby boomers get older and need more medical help? Anyone looking for a new career?
