The hospital where my wife is employed has suspended elective surgeries due to the hospital being full with Covid cases. This happened during the original outbreak also.
This is the one thing that I dislike the most about the Pandemic / Covid / Not Vaccinated is because it actually threatens the health and safety of other patients at the same hospital that is not there for any reasons related to Covid. A good friend of my mom walked into Emergency care hospital in Chicago for shortness of breath and chest pains...they thought he was having a heart attack but had to wait 4 hours because short of doctors / nurses / equipment and available beds due to Covid patients. They ended up putting him in a hallway in a wheelchair before getting the necessary tests that determine he in fact was having a heart attack. They ended up having to perform heart surgery at night around 9pm (his condition had worsened very fast) even though he had check-in at 5pm est. wrbtrader
That's why I wrote before that if they have to choose who to let live and who to let die, they should first help vaccinated people. Vaccinated people can become the deadly victim of non vaxxers. @Baron was in shock from that and said this would never happen. But it happens all the time. Innocent people die because of the asocial and egoistic behavior of non vaxxers. Baron is sitting in front of his PC, I have still contact with people in the hospital I worked in. Who will know best what happens?
Calculate your risk here.. https://qcovid.org/calculation I'm 1 in 13K chance of dying next 90days, ie not a worry!! Mate with MS younger, no asthma and not fat, 1 in 15K and he's been sheilding for 18months. Listen to this scientist, although he says, don't just trust him like you have the governments, 75% of jabbed dead within 3years ouch!! https://thewhiterose.uk/dr-vladimir...utm_campaign=the-latest-news-from-our-blog_11 Remember you lot saying, Zinc with a delivery didn't work it's BS, well you where wrong, proven right, why did they keep this and lie and make out it doesn't work ?? to Kill you and to force the jabs and keep the lockdown. And you trust these people and take there jabs LOL fools!!
I have two siblings that work in medicine...one a Doctor in charge of other Doctors that work in the emergency room and a sister in another state that's a head nurse in an ICU ward. The Covid stories they tell me are sheer shocking. Last year before vaccines, they felt sorry for Covid patients. This year is a different story about their personal feelings toward those not vaccinated and hospitalized / ICU admission. Simply, a lot of tears and sympathy from them last year towards their patients. This year...no more tears...just anger after seeing how it is ruining lives even those in the hospital not related to a Covid illness. wrbtrader
Unfortunately, children under 12 can not be vaccinated. Yet, they can wear a face mask to school to avoid getting infected with the Delta Variant that's targeting younger adults and children. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ch...th-covid-19-us-hits-record-number-2021-08-14/ Record highs of children hospitalized with COVID-19 in the U.S. have Canadians concerned https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coron...in-the-u-s-have-canadians-concerned-1.5549781 wrbtrader
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/15/health/us-coronavirus-sunday/index.html US could soon hit more than 200,000 new coronavirus cases per day, NIH director warns Then as now, the alarming uptick has stretched health resources thin as many hospitals struggle to meet the demand of those who need crucial medical care. "The system is breaking," CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner told CNN's Jim Acosta on Saturday. "It's not just the beds. Many hospitals can find beds in places like parking structures or cafeterias. But it's qualified people to staff those beds. And the United States is critically short on ICU nurses, so finding the qualified staff to take care of critically ill patients becomes increasingly hard," said Reiner, a professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University.
It hasn't been all that bad...financially...for some nurses. My sister was making about $1700 per week as a nurse in normal times. Late last year, she's been doing contract ICU nurse at 5 different hospitals. She's now making about $4,000 per week due to the hospital's need for contract ICU nurses because there's a big shortage of nurses. https://khn.org/news/highly-paid-traveling-nurses-fill-staffing-shortages-during-covid-pandemic/ wrbtrader
My wife is in charge of the labs and quality for the hospital she is at and they are getting killed with the shortage of qualified Med Techs, and even phlebotomists for blood draws. They have had to go the same route and bring on quite a few contract lab personnel, It is a budget killer as the firms are getting 3 to 4 times the pay rate, and the people get about half that, although the hospital doesn't have to deal with the benefit costs.
It pisses the locals off majorly. Imagine the travel nurse making easily twice as much as you do, and she doesn't even know the codes and where to find what? I have been reading stories about this. Some local ones quit, then got hired at the very same place as travel nurse. r/nurse is the place to get those stories. Not to mention somebody is going to pay for those extra salaries and that is not the insurance company.
