This has been an issue for years. No way leave a child. Never. Two nurses for maybe 30 patients? When those intravenous machines start playing Beehthoven"s Fifth Sympathy, you'd better be there because those two nurses are overworked.
And you don't intubate pneumonia patients. How do you get increased oxygen through passages clogged with mucus? An oxygen tent and suck the crap out was the treatment before covid.
Tell them why you won't fly and give them the statistics/facts. It's cheaper to drive and spend a night on the road than flying. Add in the cost of renting a car in Chicago. Take the train. I took the train from Provo to Chicago over 60 years ago and it was marvelous. The Carl Sandbag poem come to life, and going through the Rockies into the Denver plateau was memorable.
I used to smoke. Company wanted me to go to a conference in Long Beach at a no smoking hotel. Long Beach is high crime and I made the case that expecting me to go outside at the Marriott was dangerous. I found a room (the royal suite) on the Queen Mary. With taxi cost, it was roughly the same price. So I stayed in the same suite as royalty and generals/admirals in a perfectly preserved room with delivered breakfasts with linen and sterling. Went on ghost tour and at least 20 people from the conference came to visit. A typical, mind-numbing conference ended up being a great experience. Make your case and take your road trip.
A major Cleveland, Ohio hospital is back to requiring mandatory ON CALL for nurses. The nurses should ban together and say HELL, NO. You (the hospital) mandated the Covid shot or fired nurses. Now you solve the damn problem without requiring us to work OT to compensate for your screw up. Nurses work short with no pay increase. This means more mistakes. But does the hospital lose money? Hell no. Wake up nurses and walk out! UNIONS are not the answer because they side with business. You get what you demand. Demand nothing, you get nothing! Do you see hospitals decreasing surgeries due to decreased staffing? No. So they aren’t losing. Wake the F up.
That's terrible. I've had on call jobs before. Do you know what I got paid to be available all day, meaning ready to get dressed and get to work within the hour of the call? $3/hr. Three dollars an hour, to be available on my day off. AND they can put you on call on the day of your assigned shift. So instead of getting your salary, you get put on call for $3/hr to wait by the phone. Burn the whole effing thing to the ground, the system doesn't work.
Exactly, because once again who benefits? The greedy hospital system. They also almost compel doctors to join their hospital medical groups to get a discount on malpractice insurance. As a result, the doctors are forced to pay a “tail” to cover future lawsuits within the statute of limitations. This encourage accepting monies from Big Pharma to pad their income. I am not excusing this practice. The entire medical community is corrupt .

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. There are rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
I worked psych for many years, and psych pts can be dangerous. However, one tiny blessing of a psych unit is that it is a locked unit, so no one will randomly enter the unit. I heard a podcast that all 3 of the pts were helpless, one intubated, one on Oncology and I don't know about the third. So sad.
If he could even get a bed. Where I used to work, there was a holding room for psych pts. Transitional Unit. They would sometimes be there for 72 hrs without treatment, waiting for discharges on the unit. It's a pretty screwed up system.
Overloads staff is an understatement
I worked at one place that fired 90% of their nurses who refused the clot shot…. They the administration complains they are short staffed.
The pay isn’t going up although they want us to work multiple units…. It’s terrible out here.

About 10 years ago when my father was in the hospital, I got real good at knowing what the various IV alarms were and how to silence or correct them.
So much so that one RNA asked me what medical facility I worked at.
Then you know that the fifth symphony means the drip is empty and the machine starts sucking blood.
When they said to send COVD patients to nursing homes and put them on vents. It was a death sentence. Nursing homes don’t do Vent care.
And you don't intubate pneumonia patients. How do you get increased oxygen through passages clogged with mucus? An oxygen tent and suck the crap out was the treatment before covid.
Cents and Corona viruses don’t go well together. That’s been known fromthe 60s. Shhhhhhh (fauci needed more dead people )
Sounds terrible! I don't work in a hospital any more and I'm pretty glad about that. I hope I never have to do that again.
Don't fly. Between the shots and the diversity it's Russian roulette.

I agree.

I know it. I know it.
My wife and I have been watching the old ER series, and one episode included a mental patient stabbing two of the ER doctors.
I worked psych for many years, and psych pts can be dangerous. However, one tiny blessing of a psych unit is that it is a locked unit, so no one will randomly enter the unit. I heard a podcast that all 3 of the pts were helpless, one intubated, one on Oncology and I don't know about the third. So sad.
In the ER episode, they requested a psych analysis, and were waiting for it when the guy decided doctors were out to get him.
Even if they got it. Probably would have only kept him a couple days, drugged him and shoved him back out the door.
They don’t have the bed space or staff to keep mental patients for as long as a lot of the patients actually need.
And there’s precious few other places to send them.
If he could even get a bed. Where I used to work, there was a holding room for psych pts. Transitional Unit. They would sometimes be there for 72 hrs without treatment, waiting for discharges on the unit. It's a pretty screwed up system.
Well, he probably was not wrong. hahaha
"They aren't sending their best."
No kidding. I'm wondering if he was illegal, but of course that is not reported.
This makes me really sad.
They will set him free with a misdemeanor
$250k bond seems low
How's this? Infiltration and corruption of the healthcare system
