In the job all of three days
It’s public information who the CEO of Princess Grace Hospital is.
HCA Healthcare UK has appointed Maxine Estop Green (pictured) as [CEO] of The Princess Grace Hospital, with effect from 3 October.
She’s a brand new CEO and one of the first things she does is tell a critically ill patient “we don’t like your values so we’re not going to do your necessary surgery.”
Estop Green’s 22-year career in the private healthcare sector began at the turn of the century in finance management at Ramsay Healthcare.
Cool cool cool. All about the money; not about the patients. Awesome.
Estop Green added she was “beyond excited“ to step into the role of CEO at The Princess Grace Hospital and said she looked forward to supporting and guiding the hospital.
By canceling urgent surgery for a woman patient at the last minute, on the grounds that “we don’t share your values.”
It is just beyond belief.
Supporting the hospital, freeing it from the horrors of a patient with needs.
I’ve seen a lot of people defending the hospital. Can people really not see the danger in withholding life-saving medical care based on the patient’s ‘values’?
Well, in the US and Ireland (and elsewhere I suspect) Catholic hospitals do of course withhold life saving treatment on the basis of values – just theirs, rather than the patients. I suspect some people see that as a feature rather than a bug. until it happens to them of course. A bit like the recent case of the white republican pro-life women who need a life saving termination and discovered she had to go to another State to get one, and was upset about that.
