ay impression was indeed - as the film appears on the top page of the German Patient Blood Management as uptodate material - and as the story is told as fight against resistance - that the film is used in education for the public and that it is not so old information and not yet out of date.
The film obviously run 2015 on swiss, german and ARTETV and is on 3 x on youtube.
Mostly I was interested to see Shander and Gombotz live, who always are referred to in the studies. They were important promotors of this "movement" together with Prof. Dr. Axel Hofmann, who is advocate of cost-efficiency, and Farmer Shander - a project that was originally sucessful in Western Australia.
The film gives the impression that everthing was very difficult for the Patient Blood Management and as if the older collegeus would prefer to give always transfusions. And as current the EU-Project is defined as clinical project for improvement of patients's care it appeared to me as if the whole PBM is something that is in the starting blocks.
Or is the PBM in reality a non-necessary lucrative busines-scheme, promoting cost-saving for own benefit - like the outsourcing-trend 15years ago, a consultant business, - because physicians already work anyway with these bloodsaving methods and dont need a special method imposed on their work? Layoffs in the bloodindustrie for new jobs in the Patient blood management.
