Labor costs have jumped up in very significant ways in every sector, IF employers can even fill the openings they have. Given my almost daily interactions with the medical industry, I have never, ever seen it in such a state of decline (mostly due to human resource shortages). I am now seeing an average of one mistake made in my treatment each week, up from an average once per month. For example, this last week a nurse dosed me with someone else's meds, the week before the tech mis-configured the machine and they pulled an extra kilo of fluid off of me. I went to the Cancer Care facility this last week and they had to access me several times because it was the nurses first day, I have been going there for 7 years and every single person I saw was new. The number of non-English speaking medical people being hired is scary, communicating is kind of important when interfacing with patients.
In my opinion we are just beginning to see the impact of these labor issues and I am expecting to see costs (in both dollars, pain and suffering, and even deaths) to continue to be a major issue for 2022. Don
