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!!

Just to clarify - you work for " a small 175 bed hospital in Florida" or you are "over [4 of] those hospitals. I am the director of case management"
Not trying to attack you - but if you are the director of case management over four hospitals.. why did you begin by saying you work at a "small" hospital with 175 beds? Are you directing case manager over four hospitals, or do you work for (ie not over) a small hospital with 175 beds?
We have 4 hospitals that I oversee, but I am based at the 175 bed hospital. The other hospitals are 50 beds, 45 beds, 38 beds, as we are rural. We are being inundated with COVID patients for the past 2 weeks. We went from 2 COVID patients to over 40 in less than 2 weeks. These patients are very ill and take a lot of resources (staff). I will be happy if this virus ever goes away.
Which two weeks were these?
Thanks for the clarification though!
The past 2 weeks. I was told that our urgent care centers are still diagnosing in high numbers so we may not have seen our peak in the hospitals yet. There is usually a lag.
So another question - as I mentioned at my wife's hospital, it was only a few weeks ago they began to test everyone (after ceasing this activity). Is this true of your hospitals? IE Was there a time you tested everyone entering, ceased, and began again? Or have you always tested all? Or never all? etc.
