Is Ireland different?

mariaalice · 2020-07-27 09:45:41

Is Ireland different in how politics, the government, the media, and unions interact? Anyone watching the COVIDA 19 discussions, would be struck by how COVID is being used to 'get at' various government departments via issues that long preceded COVID 19, fair enough maybe, SF trying to shoehorn a point on to a discussion…

FG killed more with HEP C and cervical cancer scandals, they also are heavily involved in criminality

cervical cancer I did not understand.
The Uk had the same problem years before we had it and we did not seem to learn for the mistakes the NHS made.

Organ retention scandal Ireland.
I did not get that one either.
Retaining organ was standard practice in hospital here and else where for over 200 years and was not illegal.
I was told in biology class in secondary school that pituitary glands were taken routinely to make human growth hormone.
I was told this my drugs reps I know in the 1980s also.
It was a open secret that was known by many at the time. It only became scandal where it got in to the media.
I remember see documentaries on smoking and surgeons showing bin full of lungs retained after surgery removed for cancer patients on TV.
I never heard any one in the media saying the had been normal procedure for longer than anyone could remember.
