Quotes about Heart Monitors from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"Somebody has to scrub down every bacteria-harboring nook of an operating room, thoroughly sterilize equipment and linens, stock supply closets, fill soap dispensers, and maintain heart monitors and ventilators. Every single person must do his or her job right every single time or risk the well-being of patients.
When you think about how many people touch a patient, either directly or indirectly, and how many tasks they must perform with precision in order to keep patients safe, it's hard not to wonder how patients ever leave a hospital intact." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)
| "These units are rich in medical technology—full of heart monitors, breathing machines, and intravenous infusion devices. These units are where premature babies (sometimes unbelievably small) achieve seemingly miraculous survival. Are more neonatologists and more neonatal intensive care units always a good thing?
The study compared regions of the country with a large supply of these units to regions where there were fewer. As you might expect, babies were more likely to survive in regions where there was a moderate supply of these units than in regions where there were very few." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L. Patrick, Hope or Hype: The Obsession with Medical Advances and the High Cost of False Promises (Get the book.)
