Unfortunately that is true – I work with loads of nurses and have some input into security/audit procedures; I’m not being medically trained but do know if someone is correctly using a patient database system or if people are correctly communicating with one another, I work closely with senior nurses and management who do have medical skills, and if I become aware of something going on that is not correct procedure I will notify the other management. Its yet another reason why I dont’ have any friends at the workplace; you can’t make friends with people if you might be the next day reporting them to their bosses or even in Court as a witness testifying against them to safeguard the jobs of all the decent people. Increasingly often have do to stuff exactly like what NSA/GCHQ does albeit on a smaller scale.
My impression of all young healthcare staff is that they are marginally more careful where I work when patients are a great deal older than them; as they know “old people are more vulnerable to ODs etc” and think their treatment is justified as they are obviously old and frail. TBH 90% of them who are not pinays/pinoys or religious did not choose healthcare as a profession but do it as its the only job available and for the English they’d rather have gone into HM Forces (i.e they’d prefer to get paid more to kill people).
Thankfully I rarely end up in healthcare faciltiies as a patient (I have to be constantly reminded to go anywhere near doctors, dentists, opticians etc) but from what friends have said whenever the healthcare workers are a similar age to them and there is a chance that recreational drugs are a factor the hospital staff do judge or at least stop caring but its not in an obvious way that would immediately get them pulled up by their auditing authorities.
