| Publisher Description: CODE BLUE: America's Healthcare System. The profit-before-patients business model risks the loss of compassion as healthcare trades beneficence for business. Can we still save humanity? Working With Chimps chronicles the history of American healthcare, and candidly reveals its impact on today's workplace culture. After 30 years as a Registered Nurse, author PJ Nathan examines the genesis of her own experience with incivility, intimidation, and bullying. She discovers that what began as a humanitarian endeavor to care for the sick and injured, has gradually narrowed its focus to balancing a corporation's bottom line. Ms. Nathan's extensive research demonstrates how existing federal healthcare laws have generated a trickle-down effect on company policies and politics; and how these federal and corporate mandates directly threaten patient care and safety - and the sanity of many healthcare workers. |
