QUEENSLAND HEALTH was exposed sometime ago in the media for 2 things

1) Having many excellent clinicians who are innovative in making the best of underresourcing

2) Having a cabal of 'managers' who in many cases were inept and/or corrupt.

Now that these two factors have been brought to light (traditionally the second group have been praised for the efforts of the first group) the spin-doctoring has begun.

Now much self-congratulation by the managers occurs, with claims being made such as "Together we are rebuilding Queensland Health." Those who have run the services into the ground have become its saviours it seems (a MESSIAH complex??)

This, combined with unbelievably bad sloganeering ("Our staff are our greatest resource" with warm hugs all around) paints a clear image in the minds of those that hear them. This image is reproduced below:
