The mandates are not only affecting the financial security of their ex-employees but it is also affecting the quality of care for their patients.
Diagnostic scans are not being done, people are going to die as a result.
I know some brain surgeries rely on active MRI scans to guide the surgeons scalpel, I guess many surgeries will be placed on hold indefinitely.
I would assume their nurses are quitting also. The nurse to patient ratio will be increased, your safety as a patient will be compromised.
I assume the nurse shortage will be backfilled with vaccinated nurses. If your nurse took the vaccine, I would question their intelligence. If they were stupid enough to inject the poison in to their own bodies, do you want them caring for yours?
If you are a patient in the Henry Ford system, I suggest you think twice about going there for your health care. If they don't give a shit about their employees, do you think they give a shit about you?
Getting medical staff to quit when hostipals are supposedly overflowing? Genius
Not overflowing...but lack of open beds... There has to be a certain amount of staff to serve patient units by law. If a 1000 bed facility has 50% of their staff call in or quit, they are now a 500 bed facility with 500 unopen beds. Folks think open beds means filled beds...it does not.
I did not know this. Thank you for explaining. My Dad has been in the emergency room all night, slowly dying, because they can’t find a damn bed in all of WA state.
Oregon the same way, friend drove four hours for a hospital bed
No, it's STAFFED beds. Same principle though. There has to be a certain ratio of staff per licensed bed, and that depends on the level of care the hospital provides. A Level 1 trauma center will have a higher ratio of staff per bed.
More specifically the unit within the hospital... e.g., ICU is 2 patients : 1 nurse for as long as I can remember.
Control the bed/staff ratio and adjust staffing based on deaths, mandates and firings allows them to completely control the hospital narrative. Guaranteed the hospitals will be “so full of ‘covid’ Patients we have to shut back down again.”
A few vaccinated side effects and the tower of cards is failing to pieces
You're 100% correct.
My facility laid off a ton of nurses last year (when we sat around doing nothing) and now cannot hire to re-open a satellite facility for inpatients.
Hmm I didn't know that ratio was a law, I thought it was hospital policy.
Many hospitals like to claim that they're overflowing with rona patients--they move things around, rearrange things to appear so. Liars.
