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?
If the hospitals don't have enough staff hired to be able to provide care in all those rooms, I can see not using some, or if rooms are designated for specific medical procedures/practices I could see a reasonable argument for jot allowing those rooms to be used. That said, if we are talking 20%+ of the rooms in a hospital being allocated to specific uses that can never be used for anything else, that just seems excessive & I would need to look at a few different hospitals to make a more informed decision on it.
Certainly could be administrationally abused by corrupt executives that are supporting a narrative for payments though.
