![When arguing with an idiot about masks, Covid, or vaccines it’s always “well, my so and so is a doctor or registered nurse”. So what, that doesn’t mean shit to me. Anon explains it perfectly. [750x633 - 103KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/2sojRj.jpg){kind=link}
You should know the difference between an empty bed in a hospital and an available bed. Hospitals have plenty of empty beds, but not enough nursing staff to run them. You can't just go into a hospital and lay down in a bed. You need nurses and technicians to actually do the work. There are laws about staffing a hospital and the minimum nurse-to-patient ratio. Nurses are absolutely overrun right now, and tons of them are out sick (because they weren't provided with proper PPE) or just quitting because of burnout. That's why you see empty beds with no patients in them.
This was right before and during the first month of the hospital all hands were on deck, the cafeteria was packed with staff, the halls were filled with staff.
They closed all floors except the maternity ward and 8 rooms on the 11th floor and closed the fire doors that went to those rooms.
The staff was standing around waiting for the dying to show up which never happened. I’m sure the cut staffing sometime after the first month or two, before that they had hired extra medical personnel.
My brother was a director at one of the major hospital systems in his state when it started, he left a few months later saying it was all a sham and the budget was out of control, overtime for people to stand around and do nothing.
The final straw was when they started getting dictated on treatments from the feds, venting and letting people die for money. He left along with another director out of disgust.
And do you have your finger on the pulse of healthcare right this minute, or are you still going on information that is over 18 months old? Healthcare is absolutely overrun right now. I had the unfortunate happenstance of having to use the emergency room last summer, well before the peak of covid. They were doing triage in the waiting room, and it took 8 hours to get into the emergency room proper, then another 12 hours to get a bed in the hospital. Things are much worse now. They set up a triage tent in the parking lot to handle incoming patients who have nowhere to go.
Yeah, I actually do. How many people have been fired? Triage in the halls isn’t out of the ordinary and especially now with everyone panicking from a positive test or the sniffles, they of course would need a tent outside.
Shill somewhere else.
