maybe not every hospital is overwhelmed no but there are some. I work in a small rural hospital 45mins outside a major metropolitan hub. Our ER is seeing more patients then ever and we get notifications about the larger hospitals in the city being on some type of diversion or not accepting transfers everyday! this is only going to get worse as the winter edges closer! our staffing is hurting in every nursing department. if things get much worse, the already stressed Healthcare system will start to fail. it's only a matter of time
