Adding the right amount of detergent seems to fail every time. Then again too much, so too much foam, then again too little. It may be because my favorite product has been taken out of circulation. What I buy is sometimes extra reinforced, sometimes even twice and then normal again. The fact that there is even a range of ‘have I got you there’, such as white, dark, fine or dotted, is very excessive. Sometimes something is advertised and then I take a chance. Now I sometimes estimate the size incorrectly if I lose my laundry ball. I then look in the back of the cupboard and find an old, dented one. However, it does have different tick marks. That’s where things go wrong.
Because I work in healthcare, I sometimes wonder what it’s like when you have to keep changing medications. Does the patient also become confused? This happens quite often due to the preference policy or because the stock has run out. When administering medications, healthcare professionals must certainly look carefully at what quantity is needed. Medical calculations are a mandatory component for many healthcare courses. This seems like a good thing to me, because the amount of mg, ml, dl and 0.1 or 0.01 certainly makes a difference. Then I certainly don’t think switching products will help.
“What’s it like to keep switching medications?”
In my profession as a speech therapist, figures are also involved. Such as the required amount of thickener; sometimes things change. And calculating test results, for example. These can also be calculated digitally, but I will always check them. However, a mandatory arithmetic test is not necessary in our profession.
We would like to calculate the treatment index that we are presented with, but it is not clear to us. For a long time we received different results from each health insurer. After many years of complaining about this and promises for change, it is now being calculated nationally. But here too, transparency is hard to find. That is why there are rightly many questions about it.
Hope the disorders are properly labeled and all important variables are included. If we are judged, it must be responsible.
