My sister - who lives in Jacksonville, Florida - just texted me and said that her husband met with a neurosurgeon - he needs surgery, but he can't have it due to the "overwhelming" covid "inpatients". According to my sister, he will remain on crutches / wheelchair and in constant pain! These hospitals need to be held FINANCIALLY responsible for the pain and suffering they are causing regular patients due to their LIES!!

You might not want to hear this but I work for a small 175 bed hospital in Florida and we have 42 COVID patients today and they are really sick. Our entire hospital system is at peak with these patients. It is no joke. As if our clinicians arent already burnt out from this past year, they are now enduring another surge. The average age of these patients is 50.
How do you know they're covid patients if the pcr test doesn't even work?
Because there is a group of common symptoms that is indicative of the disease, mostly respiratory with a specific type of pneumonia. Most patients lose their sense of taste and smell as a first symptom.
Alright, makes sense.
Thank you. I call truce. Seriously, I am on GA because I am awake. I know that this virus is a biological weapon that was engineered. I know the black hats are taking full advantage of it with lockdowns, masks, high cycles of testing, etc. I know that it is being said that the vaccine is also a weapon. On the other hand, I know what I am seeing with my own eyes from personal experience. The virus is real and is no joke to the unfortunate ones who have had a cytokene storm, or who waited too long to get treatment. It has taxed our small hospital to the hilt and this week was horrible with some young people coding and dying. Many, many people have had COVID and it was no big deal, but the hospital industry has been inundated. People say, "But I drive by the hospitals and they look empty!". Yes they do, because visitation is shut down and the visitor parking lots have few cars. I am a truth seeker and I support this site, but I get upset when people refuse to listen to people who have first hand knowledge. Thank you.
did they come INTO the hospital with JUST covid - or did they come in with another co-morbidity and tested positive for covid? That is another important question. Next question would be - vaxxed or unvaxxed? Can you tell us by what you are seeing?
Most of the patients who are in the hospital presented to the ED with upper respiratory symptoms that included shortness of breath, fever, etc. Some patients didn't know they had COVID. Some patients were treated as an outpatient for COVID by their physicians but failed outpatient treatment. Some patients presented with some other illness but tested positive. Some patients suspected they had COVID because a family member had it or they were exposed. All patients were sick enough to be hospitalized. Patients who are morbidly obese are at the biggest risk. Diabetes and hypertension are also big risk factors. So to answer your question, there have been a variety of situations, but currently patients who are testing positive are presenting with respiratory symptoms and usually have pneumonia. I was told that 90% of those hospitalized now are unvaccinated. I see a list everyday of the current patients in the hospital and their vaccination status. There is a separate list of COVID patients with their designation as vaccinated or unvaccinated.
Thanks for your input - but, I don't trust anything anymore. They have lied for so long - now, everything can be (or probably is) a lie! Marking vaccinated or unvaccinated can be just a click or no click. I really don't buy that most in the hospital are "UN"vaccinated!
I understand. I dont know what to believe or not to believe. The reason I stated what I did is because my personal experience is real, not just something I read somewhere. Your choice to believe or not. I can tell you that our staff has no agenda. I can see each chart and how the nurse designates. Blessings to you.
Curious, bulk of the patients ages and vaccine status?
We survey all patients who come into the hospital regarding their vaccine status. 90% of our current COVID census are unvaccinated. The patients we are seeing this surge tend to be younger. I heard that this could possibly be due to that many of the elderly were vaccinated. The average age is 50, that is not to say that we don't have some in their 30's, 40's, 70's, etc. I was surprised to learn this as I had no idea whether the vaccines were effective. I am not advocating for the vaccines.
I was on a call with our corporate office yesterday where I was updated. The average age of patients this time around is 50. 90% of our hospitalized patients are unvaccinated. There has not been one death attributed to COVID for a patient who is vaccinated to date during this surge in our hospital system. Currently we have approximately 2000 patients diagnosed with COVID in our hospital system. Today I spoke with a nurse case manager in our hospital and she covers ICU where 11 COVID patients are on vents of the 41 currently hospitalized. There are patients who are in there 30's to 50's in this group. My friend's daughter just spent 30 days in a hospital for COVID where she was on a vent for 2 weeks. She is in her 30's but is overweight and diabetic.
Is this corporate office magically more honest with the numbers than every other authority that's been constantly lying to us for 18 months now?
That sounds like such a load of shit. The same bullshit stats I am hearing in FL. Who is putting this info out ???
I am so glad that you all are medical "experts". I am dealing with facts based on that every hospitalized COVID patient is surveyed regarding their vaccination status and this is where the real raw data comes from. I have first hand knowledge of the struggles the clinicians have regarding the management of these very sick patients with their unusual symptoms. I hear the multiple rapid response codes being called all day on the COVID floor where the medical teams fight to keep these patients off of ventilators. Yes, I said COVID floor, not unit. I have multiple friends who have had COVID includingnone who had 2 heart attacks because of the clotting that it causes not to mention thatI she still can't taste and has the smell of burning paper in her nose a year later. I have firsthand knowledge unlike most people on these message boards who get their "facts" from the opinions of others. I am neither for or against the vaccine. What I am for is the right for a person to make their own decision about it. Before you pretend to know what you are talking about, you should do some real research instead of sitting in front of your computer eating Cheetos all day and reading message board posts. When you have firsthand knowledge why don't you circle back to me.
"90% unvaccinated" my ass. Get real. We've been fed these bullshit lies regarding numbers and percentages for the past year and half now. Who would EVER believe "corporate" numbers at this point?
Yah- he’s a SHILL CONFIRMED. DEPORT
