I think I got a lesson in economics today. Omfg the stroke ward is soooo well funded. So many staff, so much space, able to completely decline any outliers in case it messes up their targets and hence their funding. Their own rehab ward so they can get discharges way faster than literally anywhere else. As in, around here a fast-track discharge for carers or NH takes like 3-4 weeks, on stroke their patients wait on average 3-4 days. As such their care is so much better - we actually spend time carefully assessing the patient and doing geriatric depression scores and the like, not just rushing around doing the bare minimum like acute med!
Hopefully a much better job than my last 4 months!
