Let's say I'm a hospital administrator and I know that in my facility every day my workers are going to be subjected to a workplace danger. The consequences you've described are already there and are causing people to have PTSD and leave their workplace and suffer all manner of things. Is that any different from a manager at a factory who sees unsafe oil on the floor or some other unsafe sharp, jagged pieces sticking out...? If that happens in that kind of environment, we would expect the managers to take all reasonable steps to make sure their workers are not injured.
Yet it seems that we all can see this and we all know this is as predictable as rain in Vancouver in January. It's going to happen, yet are we placing the right responsibility on health care administrators, as you said, Dr. Drummond, to change it from an afterthought and to move this up to not only a priority but an obligation under the law?
