Holy crap - how scary! So sorry to hear that happened to you. Must have been really unnerving. Hope you made a full recovery from that ordeal and got taken off duty for that outta control patient!
You make a good point about Chris Rock's speedy recovery from the slap. That part is interesting. However, if you're hosting the Oscars and are on live TV with cameras on you, it's not as if you'd break down and cry or act like a wuss - not an option.
I've watched the slow-motion zoomed-in video many times and I see Rock's face rippling in waves from the impact, and Will Smith almost loses his balance as he smacks him. I still believe that slap was real, but don't believe for a second that it had anything to do with Jada Pinkett Smith's hair loss.
Yes, I was taken off duty, sent to the ER (the hospital wanted to CYA). The hospital had the gall to bill my insurance company, despite it being a job related injury. I had to argue with billing, the patient advocate and threaten to call the insurance company to report it as a fraudulent billing to get the hospital to reverse the payment. I did that out of principal. I later found out they submitted the bill to Victims of Crime for payment. How they could do that on my behalf is beyond me. That is when I started waking up to the crookedness of hospitals. This is a major teaching hospital in Ohio. Nothing surprises me anymore re. the medical industry. Just like transplant denials, you an bet the government, insurance company, CDC, and Big Pharma put the screws to the transplant team which is part of the hospital complex.
Holy crap - that is INSANE! How many layers of corruption are there in hospitals. I thought we already got to the bottom of it, but alas, there is a BASEMENT too!
In addition to that gem, I had two jobs at the hospital health system. I should have been paid time and a half for 8 years. I asked 3 managers about it and never pursued it like I should have. All of a sudden I started being paid over time. When I got a lawyer to pursue for back pay, the hospital had every major law firm on retainer. You think that isn’t deliberate? They changed their representation from a female lawyer to a male lawyer, “lost” copies of 8 years of my pay stubs, so I had to resend them, delayed until the statute of limitations ran out so I would have to pay several thousands in Federal court, with no guarantee of winning. I was advised by my lawyer, who I obtained in another city, to drop the case. I believe to this day my lawyer was either intimidated, paid off, or promised something. I dropped the case because I couldn’t afford to pursue it. I chalked it up as a learning experience-I needed the extra money from the second job, so I let things slide with the payment. So it was 50% my fault for not pursuing it. Mysteriously a couple weeks later I had $35,000 deposited in my checking account. That amounted to 2 years of underpayments which is all they were legally required to pay. I had been asking for 8 years, with interest which would have been $120,000. You live and learn. But to answer your question, I believe hospitals collude with the government: perform unnecessary surgeries, hide medical mistakes by nurses and doctors, collude via hospice to hasten deaths, underpay staff, etc. They have the power, they have the high powered law firms in their pockets. I have no trouble believing they colluded with the government on the Covid hoax. They force flu vaccine and the Covid shots on employees who won’t stand up to them.
