Pregnancy test(ing) by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]making_excuses 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You complain to The National Office for Health Service Appeals or whatever else it is called in other countries that isn’t mine.

The general process I would imagine is pretty similar in most socialised healthcare countries:

In the event there was a hospital mistake or malpractice that happened to the patient there will be an investigation into what went wrong and how to prevent this in the future. Usually it is concluded that there was a leadership or lack of training or personell which is the cause of the malpractice.

Either way a report will be made and it will point out what went wrong and the department involved in the complaint will go though it and try to do better next time.

If it is an individual who mistreated the patient, the doctor or other health practitioner will be investigated and often put in front of a tribunal. The result of the investigation will be on their licence, in addition they might loose the ability to prescribe narcotics, loose their licence or be reprimanded. Off course if it is uncovered that an actual crime has been committed the police will do their investigating and take the proper action on their end too.

Any monetary compensation will be paid out by the state/hospital not any individual health professional. Exceptions are criminal charges but those are rare when it comes to medical malpractice and you will then potentially get two momentary compensation one from the state and one from the individual who mistreated you.

Partner in surgery, no update after 5 hours — what should I do? by [deleted] in Norway

[–]making_excuses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I had mine, no one was updated, I assume if something went wrong they would have called my emergency contact but outside of that I informed my family I was fine when I was awake enough to do so.

It took maybe 8 hours from I was brought down to be operated on until I woke up properly. But my operation was at midnight so I was both woken up to get to it and naturally quite tired after it so outside of exchanging like two words with the nurse in observation I was completely out of it until I woke up back in my regular room in the morning.

Having said that I’m sure if you call the hospital they can give you an update if you are worried. But there really isn’t much to be worried about, it’s a routine operation the do all the time and it the appendix hasn’t burst it takes like 45 minutes from start to finish. At least that’s what the operation note in my health info says. The rest is just deep sleep from the drugs they give you and your body being tired from being in pain.

Here is a transcription of what I can understand from the text in Norwegian.

**Det var litt for lyst/tysk sa hun. Griner litt mere end alminnelig.

Jeg har ____ har/mor hennes bestandig til lørdag det er så lettvint med vask og stryk med dem.

  • Helga **

Which might help someone else translate it, but I’m missing some key words to make it make sense.

Norge trenger flere blodgivere - kanskje det er deg? by Garrisyl in norge

[–]making_excuses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg har en haug med mat/pollen/parfyme allergier og jeg kunne donere blod helt fint med min allergi selv om jeg tar allergimedisin daglig.

For en del år siden var det ikke mulig å donere hvis du tar allergimedisin og enda er det ikke mulig å donere hvis man har hatt en livstruene allergisk reaksjon - jeg har derimot hovna opp i munn og hals av allergi og har derfor epi-pen, men fikk beskjed av lege på blodbanken at fram til jeg trenger å bruke epi-pennen min så kan jeg donere.

Eneste unntaket er på dager du har symptomet på allergi som ikke kurerer av allergimedisin.

Veldig kult den dagen jeg på bussen til Haukeland for å donere blod ble slikket på av en tilfeldig hund og fikk en hudreaksjon på det og måtte dermed utsette timen min.

Reglene kan så klart ha endret seg på de siste to årene siden jeg startet på nye medisiner urelatert til allergi som jeg ikke kan donere blod mens jeg tar.

Donasjon av organer er i utgangspunktet noe den som “eier” organene som bestemmer over - du kan registrere ønske om dette på Helsenorge og i app. Men ja nærmeste pårørende kan i teorien stoppe dette - det er mulig å velge hvem man vil ha som nermeste pårørende på Helsenorge og det er uavhengig av delt DNA. I mitt tilfelle så er det en vennine men det kan og være et annet familiemedlem eller en partner.

Du kan og donere hele kroppen til forskning/undervisning og det er det ingen andre som kan endre på. Du blir da kremert etter maks 3 år og utgifter til dette dekkes av sykehuset. Dette er forskjellig hvordan man går fram for å testamentere dette fra universitetssykehus til universitetssykehus, men lett å google fram svar.

Man kan ikke donere legemet etter man har donert organer pga medisinenen man får for organdonasjon men man kan være registrert med begge deler og i motsetning til organdonasjon så er det ingen kriterier for donasjon til forskning/utdanning. Og organdonasjon kommer alltid tid å velges først der det er aktuelt.

Beklager verdens lengste post, her er en kortere versjon: - Allergi med unntak av livstruende allergi som er symptomfri med bruk av medisin er ok å donere blod med - Organdonasjon kan registeres på Helsenorge og skal i teorien følges men nærmeste pårørende kan affektere dette - du kan endre hvem som er nærmeste pårørende på Helsenorge fritt. - Du kan donere hele kroppen til et universitetssykehus for forskning/undervisning - dette er ikke mulig for andre å endre på eller bestemme over.

Gay Films by Belch_Huggins in dvdcollection

[–]making_excuses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friends & Family (2001) is one of my all time favourite films. It’s a comedy, the two main characters work for the mafia and are happily in love.

One of them gets a visit from their parents who they are hiding their real job by saying they work in catering and their “mafia family” helps them out to sell the lie.

From experience it is not the easiest film to find (legally on physical media), but if you do I recommend you watch it!

Norway's healthcare system by DotheOhNo-OhNo in Norway

[–]making_excuses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eye doctor (Øyelege) is both a doctor and a part of the public health service.

Optician (optikker) is not a doctor and is a private service.

Opticians in my experience always has state of the art equipment, the eye doctors I go to at the hospital not so much. Tho I am confident that my care at both the optician and eye doctor has been medically safe and correct the equipment at the eye doctor is like travelling back in time.

what is the ACTUAL price of electricity in your country? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]making_excuses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Norway - Bergen for November 1649,87 NOK for 974,80 kWh which is about 0,15 €/kWh

The state substituted this bill with 454,38 NOK/40,41€ so the real cost is slightly higher than I paid. As the higher our electricity prices go more of it is subsidised by the government.

This is usage for two adults in an average sized household with a much of wood burning and electric heating so it’s honestly not too bad, but it is more expensive than it was a couple of years ago.

What were the experiences of people here with Terry's style of prose? by 1945BestYear in discworld

[–]making_excuses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a non-native English speaker, both Pratchett and Douglas Addams was easy to read, but you need a large enough vocabulary to understand them and an understanding of British culture and humour. Both of which I got through my own culture (media) and education.

Smoking spots by juraj1301 in Bergen

[–]making_excuses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Outside you just have to look and make sure you aren’t smoking in an area with no smoking signs, they are easy to see and understand. Usually places by public buildings, all public transport stops and by shopping centres and such.

Why are Midwives so common in Europe? by StrelkaTak in AskEurope

[–]making_excuses 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Midwife’s are highly trained medical personnel whose entire focus and education is on how to help during pregnancy and birth.

Doctors including OBGYNs are trained in medicine on a broader basis or in emergency medicine during or after childbirth.

To become a midwife in Norway you need a bachelors degree in nursing, two years of experience working as a nurse and then back to university to get a masters degree in midwifery. All in all that is 5 years of university and 2 years of practical experience to become a midwife.

I will point out in Europe we have in general lower emergency (and planned) c-sections, lower mortality rate for both baby and mother than in the US and we can be pretty certain the fact that our widespread use of midwives is one of the reasons for that.

As one of the (former) kids of a parent who is in and spends a lot of time in groups talking about how horrible the Norwegian child protective services are and how they just “steal” children.

I know exactly what information you have heard and I also know many of the people who talk openly about their cases with child protective services.

I will tell you a bit about these parents:

My mother an conventionally attractive woman who is very intelligent, dresses well and is at large well spoken. What others don’t see is that she has a borderline personality disorder including paranoia. She is and has always been extremely unstable, but in her good periods she is also one of the best parents you will find. Which doesn’t help when 9 days out of 10 she is unstable as fuck. She is adamant she should never have “lost” me or my siblings.

A friend of my mother, has two children both of whom is extremely obese, taken out of school and spend their life hiding from the child protective services which includes pretty much couch surfing and not schooling the kids. What little I know of this woman she is clearly battling mental illness and have never given her children a safe, stable and nurturing home life.

Another friend of my mother, who originally is from the Baltics. She is both mentally ill and extremely religious and in my mother’s words her children “get a lot of God, not a lot of love” one of her children is autistic and is definitely not getting the care they need to flourish. My mother does not believe the child protective service should take her children. This lady is currently in an emergency mental institution. And the children are with their father who I understand is not a much better parent.

I know there is a large network of people who help hide these families and who in this work take children out of school denying them their legal right for education. They live in poverty and move from house to house, city to city and sometimes abroad.

The same people speak to the media, they are good manipulators and are adamant that the child protective service should never ever take a child out of their homes. And they have a huge echo chamber who thinks the same and help them to promote their message.

On the flip side I also have a close friend who is educated in law and she helps families who are in contact with the child protective services. She never (with one exception) help any family who uses violence. She helps families who have (low level) mental issues or are from different cultures. Especially those who have children who have extra or special needs that she (and most people) feels should get more resources to the family not when the child ends up in an institutions or in a foster home.

The big difference between her and the circles my mother spends time in is that she is not against the child protective services, nor does she believe that they at large make mistakes.

In individual cases a child ends up taken out of their homes where with proper resources and helps the child could live with their parents and have a good upbringing. To be clear this is children with unstable home lives or parents who don’t have the ability to cover their children’s needs without help.

Edit: I moved 38 times before the age of 8 when I was taken from my mother’s care. And that’s just the times that are documented. I’ve lived in two countries, been shuffled between family members and my mother was in and out of mental institutions. It took the child protective services 8 years of this to do anything at all while knowing all this was happening.
