physiotherapy blog and software

We can only have blogs because of the taken-for-granted effectiveness of the programmes and hardware running the comupters we all use but I get fed up with the repeated errors that both of these make and the inability for the average person to sort the problems out because once we go beneath the surface veneer of pretty colors and pictures we use to make the computer work there's a totally incomprehensible world of meaningless codes and data. I have spend the last week struggling with a number of problems and these still are not resolved. Take virus protection. We're all meant to have it but the down side of this protection is that it clutters up the computer with useless items which i'd rather not have, silly pop up messages which are absolutely no use to me and a subtle forms of blackmail to ensure I keep buying updates. Why can't we have a simple ,fail safe, error free system without constantly having to try to sort out malfunctions? It almost seems as if the whole world has been conned by technology; when it works it can do fantastic things but for large amounts of time we are trying to solve problems in what is only on the surface user friendly but as soon as something goes wrong and we try to work out what to do we are faced with the language and thinking of 1970's computer geeks.

So what about physiotherapy and healthcare? There have been a lot of interesting things in the news. If you do not live in an area of the UK with a Labour MP then the chances are you will not have got a new hospital planned because 85 pence in every £1 spent on new hopsitals is in an area with a Labour MP. I cannot understand why when something like this comes to light there's no serious protest or holding Government ministers to account. It's also come to light that healthcare workers are increasingly unable to buy properties in the majority of the UK because house prices are so much higher than NHS salaries. With the average UK house price about £185 000 and starting salaries for physios in the low £20 000's then there's a massive gap between earnings and the possibility of buying. Rumors of a price collapse have been circulating for a few years but one wonders if things will eventually slow down, because with prices like these there will be no new money coming into the system.
