According to reports from blogspot many people visiting this blogg is in the US, in GB, in Germany, South America, Asia and Australia and so on. Even people from Africa seems to visit my blogg.
As my wish and aim is to rise the issue of the importance of nursing care to be given space and freedom besides powerful and not seldom strong headed doctor's I will try to write in English sometimes and I wish to welcome everyone in hope for a better tomorrow when doctors will stop rejecting the skills and professionality of (female) nurses.
My English is not good enough for me to be blogging but I'll do it as I usually do things - I jump into it and try to swim as best as I can. I will not have the time to make fine adjustments in spelling and language all the time - hope to be forgiven and if I cause some better educated, or younger or wiser persons a laugh it's OK.
I who is writing this blog has been called the "scandal nurse" by Swedish press. People have written in posts in "Dagens medicin" that I should not be allowed to touch their children and it is fortunate I am away from healthcare as I was for a time. Others has asked what's happening, what's wrong - a physician wrote.
What is actually happening in ALB? And who is responsible for what looks very strange? It seems not all obvious that this nurse is the biggest problem, if anything at all! I hope she has support anywhere for it seems to be powerful forces running. Medically examined by force ...

I'm a healthcare whistleblower and I've had no support at all, no lawyer to help me - nobody. The background is as follows. In June 2008, I made a serious mistake. I found out that I was indebted to a child's rapidly rising sodium. I filed reported against myself according to the rules of the hospital.
I could have kept silent and hoped to do without detection. I could have tried to throw the blame on someone else rather than exposing myself to high risk by telling. I had been a critical voice internally at my workplace for years and many had made repeated attempts to maneuver me away.
The day after me reporting myself I was threatened by a physician and the unit has since spread a series of lies about me via the press and TV. I defended myself inside the organization. The reason why I made the mistake was that I realized that the child suffered from brain damage already, at 1 ½ days of age, due to a procedure performed by physicians that I'd asked them to evaluate for three years. The parents was informed I was to blame for their newborn child severe brain damage and many, who's internal actions I'd criticized for long, used the suffering parents to harm me. The parents filed report both to Swedish board of health and wellfare and to the police. Their little girl passed away after suffering from massive wrongdoing both before and after my mistake and at the autopsy they found an unbelievable amonth of tiopenthal - a sedative used to put people to sleep during surgical care - in her body. Several policemen rushed into the PICU, where the little girl had been treated her last days in life, arresting the physician in charge the last hours. She was freed after long investigations including international experts and no one still knows what had really happened.
In March 2010, I turned to the hospital management with general complaints of the care in the NICU. Four head nurses had left their assignments more or less voluntarily, and when experienced child / neonatal nurses fled the neglect of the children, the unit had traveled to the former East Germany and recruited intensive care nurses from adult care. They have no skills for the nursing care of children. One of them told me they wasn't even allowed to care for older children in their own country - but they started working in a unit caring for children from gestation week 22 before knowing Swedish enough to understand reports. When there is a lack of children / neonatal nurse competence in a NICU premature babies become seriously ill - there will be great need for intensive care that many doctors - as well as other personnel - think is "cool". It's in the culture to scare the parents directly they come to the unit, speaking of infections, stroke, blindness, and other things and to thereafter make kids sick by poor hygiene, low trained staff and poor medical equipment.
I alerted the hospital management 23 March 2010 and was due to a terrible accusation on April 7.
I could prove to the unit that the doctors lied and the accusations was changed but still serious and to add it up and make me break down and hinder me from getting a new job - where others could get to know me as the person and the nurse I am - my mental health was questioned via the press.
Today I've been believed and freed after a hearing in HSAN (Swedish health care liability committee) and two more courts on a higher level. In fall 2011 I was warned, some doctor's would try to create new accusations towards me, and had started building feelings among society on sites on the Internet. This made me start this blog to defend myself against all that has been written about me in the press since the summer of 2008. I'd been in contact with two journalists during the years. As I'd understood it they have both been paid not to tell my side of the story whilst others, who has strong connection to media since decades, has had all their saying reported as if was it the truth. It has been an educational and interesting experience to observe the way power is built and executed in healthcare today.
To me it's obvious some Swedish hospitals has become as corrupt it's dangerous to work there for anyone who wants to protect and restore what's left of my countrys former excellent health care. Doctor's and nurses are easy targets for power from ruthless manipulators as the professional registration is necessary to get a job and an income. The art of setting up other persons is known in Sweden as an American problem, not existing in our perfect country. Just to speak of set up's, conspiration, manipulation makes you a freak in Sweden. You will be called a "conspiracy theorist" and people will laugh at you.
To get a composite picture the posts in this blogg should be read in the order they were written.
Sometime maybe time I will try to translate some of the posts by the help of Google translate.
For now you has to do it for yourself.
