The Star Chamber

What goes on in the Norwegian medicopolitical establishment?

Another pseudo-psychotic killer

, , , ,

This time from Stavanger. An 18 y/o male was committed to a mental institution in february, released in april. After this time he has - according to his mother - tried to kill himself four times. His mother - recently it seems, we are told "last week", tried to have him re-comitted, but was turned down (why? we are not told).
So now he has tried to murder an old lady with a spear.

The mother's rage is against the psychiatric clinic that turned him down. This rage is quite misdirected. She ought to direct is against the Norwegian Parliament, this august body has enacted a legislation that makes it impossible to forcibly commit somebody to a lunatic asylum unless the person is both raving mad and at the same time dangerous to other people - and both these circumstances must be proven; this makes it well-nigh impossible to commit anybody except those with blood already on their hands.

So dear mother, direct your rage against the politicians, and then against those who have elected them - of which you yourself is one and I am another - and seek your redress there.

Is there private health care in Norway? And is your health board as bad as you are saying? Another question. If circumcision does in fact prove without a doubt to cut down on HIV transmission, will you possibly change your mind about it? It seems, from your sidebar, that you oppose it vehemently. Is the problem with Norwegian health care one of bad management and corruption, or a lack of funding, or both? What I am reading here is that your board of health is fairly top heavy with corrupt managers. I honestly thought that Norway was one of the better places to live in regards to access to health care and all. I am rethinking rather quickly, after reading your blog. How REALLY does the governments billions in oil revenues help fund education and health care? What is the real effect on day to day life.

The oil billions is used to buy shares in foreign companies so that we can loose it all when the next depression comes.
