3-week pile-up

These are the patient's case notes, for the past three weeks, all piled up and strewn all over the floor of the ward. Apparently, the clerk in-charge has been absent from work without any valid reason, a.k.a EL since last week.

Also, apparently this is not the first time she absconded from work, a check on her punch card indicated that she had at least 5 or more EL each month.

Also, apparently she was a 'reject' from the administration office, and she was known to have discipline problems.

By right, it should not really concern me because these are the ward manager's and the administrator's problems.

But, it really upset me because I could not trace the patients' previous old notes because they have been piled up somewhere in those big boxes.

Numerous complaints, but it never seemed to get things done.

I wonder why it is so difficult to sack her. After all, she is just a clerk.

Shame on those who sit on the top but never seemed to get things move, unless there is some public complaints in the press.
