Spoke with a family member about a grandpa they have been caring for. They were taken to the hospital in AZ for a broken bone during a fall.
Sounds like they were put into a bed in the hallway & rushed them out with the bone still broken. To be fair, if doctors are working 18hr shifts because some flu is keeping those hospitals filled beyond capacity, I can see them missing something on an xray.
They were taken to a different hospital where their bed was also put into a hallway. The EMT asked around to see if there were any hospitals that this man could be taken to. They were all filled beyond capacity with the flu.
Now I don't know how true it is that every hospital is filled in AZ is. Everything I state here is clearly hearsay, though I am curious if any AZ pedes happen to know if there is any truth to this?
Also it could be that the some narrative is being pushed. Just trying to figure out if there is potential for a narrative push for some scare event down there?
Election COVID Round 2?
The hospital employees I have spoken with, locally, tell me that they have almost equal parts Covid & Influenza patients being diagnosed & admitted. Not sure if they are diagnosed at the hospital or by a primary care provider.
