Beauracracy in the hospital


The hospital is one big maze.

Like a maze, it takes many turns to get from one place to another.
ie. Many people are needed to get a single thing done. Organizing a urgent scan requires an urgent form, talking to the staff nurse at the radiology room, talking to the radiologist, the porter who sends the patient down etc.



Like a maze, it has many dead ends.
ie. Fierce radiologists who scold you, sending down the radiological form after 5pm requires calling.

Like a mouse, we have to learn to know the maze and its dead ends and to avoid them.

If not we won't be able to get our cheese.
