How to clear a hospital ward..

Published on June 1, 2005 By Phoenixboi In Blogging

News a couple of weeks ago that one of Australia's mos popular pop stars Kylie Minogue had breast cancer shocked a nation and put Breast Cancer high on the minds of many women in Australia.

Alot of women from that announcement thought it best to get themselves checked out. The former Neighbours star and now Pop diva is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Apparently all is going well with her.

This morning I read in the paper that an entire ward which was housing elderly patients awaiting heart surgery was cleared so that Kylie could have seclusion and privacy. Link

This seems a bit much! Wouldnt you think that they would just give her a private room??

For a nation that seems to be having a health crisis with shortage of beds and people waiting for a long time for surgery this really doesnt impress me.

The article shows that Kylie didnt have a part to play in it all, and that some people were stopped from visiting their relatives and put through security checks to enter the hospital. Well when it comes down to it Kylie is just a person like you and me and this excess in securtiy and distress that it mus have caused people in the hospital and their families seems a bit excessive dont you think?
