Second ER visit in 2 weeks, this time with my ill husband who had fallen and suffered bad cut to head. I was astounded by the incompetence in the ER. No doctors, just a nurse practitioner there this time.

Look around in every industry in the country no people no talent mostly incompetents. Do you think the medical industry is exempt??? Not a chance. I aam an aircraft engineer and my advice to you is DONT FLY… thank all the DEI hires
It seems like the only way to get a raise it to get a new job. So everyone switches jobs every two years and isn't an expert at whatever they are doing.
agree, think this is what Q has to cure by forcing the sheeple to take care of themselves more, instead of alway relying on 'experts'. people need to be 'shown' that they're too dependent on the system.
Yes! This is a great way to explain it.
thanks! glad when I can help explain things. the entire experience feels like a 'lesson plan' to me based on the ideas of our founding fathers. showing us the best way to operate this American 'system' ...being a strong individual. like our farmer first president. think we're returning to some of his ideas. which is fine with me:)

I booked the trip of my lifetime to Italy this spring. My friends and I have been saving and looking forward to it for several years to celebrate milestone 60th birthdays. Now I am worried and I'm pissed that I'm worried. And I'm pissed that my family is worried about me going.
Edit to add: I understand people have plenty of other worse things going on. And that I'm lucky to be able to go. I am not whining. I'm just mad that so much stupidity has infiltrated every area of our lives.
You can’t let fear rule your life. I am going to Ireland, Scotland and England in June. I will wear my “Surrounded” necklace for protection, and place myself in the safety of my Savior, Jesus Christ.

We went to Zimbabwe during the elections there in 08 when there was a travel advisory in effect for US citizens. Time of my life, don't worry, see the Coliseum for me. I still regret not going on my Latin class trip 30 years ago
Amen.
Take a boat.
And get one of the water activated EPIRB beacons.
I’m going to not be concerned until I noticeably see an increase in air disasters. Right now you do see stupid things that are happening due to lack of attention and accountability and whatever else like invisible doors flying off mid flight. Fortunately, those are still rare occurrences. Once we start seeing a news article like that once a week, I’ll be on the ground regardless of the reason to travel.
yes i am going to Japan in March....packin water wings
Are there still jab mandates in place?
Customer service and business standards died after covid.
lol customer service died way before covid...when they invented the automated phone systems...i fukin hate those things
Plus social media and the "education" system destroyed interpersonal skills. Now we've got kids who don't know how to handle a customer service interaction on either side.
Never felt this level of rage until I first had to deal with this.
I am a machinist who makes airplane parts, and I too endorse this message. Lots of token diversity hires with the IQs of toenail clippings
Because all the people that knew anything retired w/covid
DC, can you elaborate? Been a nurse for over 20 years. My observation is: todays hospital conglomerate does NOT value experience; hospitals will gladly hire newly graduated nurses and shit on their dedicated experienced staff to save a few bucks. At the same time claiming that “providing quality care & safe care” is their priority. Sorry about your experience. I highly recommend anyone going/staying at a hospital to have an observant advocate with them at various times to ask good questions. I have no problem with a patient/family member asking questions. I will tell them if I don’t know the answer…
Hospital conglomerate…….yup, just like everything else, medicine is being choked off so only a few big conglomerates remain. Think of your hospital like a Walmart, or Costco. Telehealth, Nurse practitioner instead of Doctor, access to only what is “approved” medicine and treatments, one size fits all. How do you like your medical care controlled and restricted? Obamacare. And to think everyone of means used to come to the U.S. for great healthcare. Where can they go now?
Obama couldn’t get single payer so the changed the playing field to create single provider. Whatever it takes con consolidate and control the industry.
Notice how monopolies of care have been created, with hospitals buying up all the practitioners they can within a geography. Now they are competing with each other on the periphery and the smaller systems are beginning to be consumed by the larger ones.
Total control. Killing real healthcare and replacing it with health Killingcare. We already saw it with Covid. Killingcare.
The future is now

ER, both last week with daughter and yesterday with husband. Long waits (usual in the past) but with no attention from anyone. With husband yesterday, 5 hours after intake the Nurse Practitioner finally removed bandage placed on by EMT, which was stuck after so long, began bleeding profusely and she stuck gauze on it, ran out to get her kit (to stitch). 20 minutes later I called nurse in because blood was still seeping down his head. THAT nurse was very helpful. 45 minutes later NP returned to sew up his head. Some monitors were never turned on (BP), they never gave him food or water even after tests completed. Never gave him his medication which he missed at noon….just a bunch of things I’ve never experienced before on ER visits.
GigiRN...Please see my comments - God bless & TY
GigiRN - big TY and much respect for what you do. I imagine you’re one of the good guys who knows what quality nursing looks like (pre-abomination care). My questions for you and anyone else inside the hospitals:
Are hospitals still operating with the covid protocols? Vents & remdesivir? Masks that don’t work & inaccurate testing mandatory? Family/friends not allowed visitation if testing positive?
How can we turn things around if OBC is thrown out? Will it take years to retrain new competent professionals? Hopefully many un-jabbed would return to the field.
I lost a family member in early 2020 (while the “pandemic was still new) and a dear friend a year ago this month. The friend was un-jabbed, tested positive and quite honestly tortured to death for an entire month, no early treatment for respiratory, forced to lie on his stomach, cathed etc., no food, fed with a tube, wife kept out early on, just a heartbreaking gut wrenching sick EVIL demoralizing degrading inhumane way to murder a previously healthy man who had just celebrated Christmas out and about a couple days prior. Anyhow me & family are avoiding ER / hospitals and possible “opportunistic” jabs (either Australia or NZ reportedly ok’d them iirc). Some states granted emergency approval to vets, dentists, podiatrists, naturopaths, all medical pros to jab their patients. I’ve been putting off a number of tests & procedures wanting to protect my dna & body from the possibility of receiving an unwanted “vax”. Just not sure how long we can all hold out, but trusting in GOD always. It will have to be a life or death situation to get me into a hospital bed. Am I being to cautious at this point in time? I’m unsure, but my faith in medicine is shattered beyond repair at this point.
Tin, I tried showing various docs & personnel articles/research that showed that the surgical masks everyone was being forced to wear did not protect anyone from viral particles. I recd questions like: why do they wear them in the OR. The answer: to protect the patient from large droplet/particles from sneezes, runny noses, etc. I was scoffed at...trust the science, right?
I am sorry to hear about your family member and friend. The family of these patients may want to request their medical records including vital signs, lab values, medication administration, etc. I still believe lack of early intervention was by design by the DS/cabal. Never do I recall a time when the orders are: "Are you having trouble breathing? No? Go home, isolate, and come back if/when you have breathing issues." WTF! On top of that it is my speculation that once admitted to the hospital that antibiotics were not ordered and administered emergently (for the subsequent pneumonia); that's not the case with the patients I cared for, but...My hospital conglomerate does initiate nutrition as early as possible unless contraindicated. The "proning" is something that I do agree with. We use the Roto-Prone beds as much as possible. This movement from the bed or self-proning prevents fluid from settling in the lungs in an attempt to mobilize fluid and prevent further consolidation.
My hospital did not provide the jab to inpatients; they had vax clinics for their employees...
My ENT just got bought by the big syndicated health ppl in town...the ones I was originally referred to but couldn't get an appt with for 6 months, so I went to the independent ENT a half hour away.
And now they're getting bought lol.
Just experienced this shit when I had our daughter last month. So unreal how many chickens can run around with their heads cut off, under the guise of professional health care
They always were like this, we just never noticed it before.
It takes a long time to be an M.D. Brilliant independent people used to dedicate a decade to be highly trained and able to diagnose and treat individuals as needed. It was a rewarding and great career. Now Doctors can’t practice medicine. They can’t do what is best for their patients. They have to follow rules that restrict them. They are in fear of losing their licenses if they don’t comply. Obamacare killed the best medical system in the world. Of course they are stressed. And soon no one will want to be a Doctor. Intentional destruction of of our health care system.
One of my good friends is a nurse. Required to get the jab to stay employed (I’d have quit). In her late 20’s, was complaining about head aches this past month. Went and had an MRI, turns out there are some arteries toward the back of her brain that are showing some clotting. Doctor said she, “must have been born with this condition” and put her on some meds. Refuses to listen if I suggest vaccine damage. Sad situation.
people who got the vax and 5 boosters are afraid. they don't want to talk about it. they don't want to admit they screwed up. the dr's are afraid to admit what is really going on for fear of losing their license. it's all fear based.
It’s so true! The fear and egos are totally blinding them to the situation instead of looking for possible solutions. Tried to suggest Nattokinase but doubt she’ll take the advice. “Doctors know best” as we’ve been conditioned to believe..
and "they" know about this fear based silent shield and using it oh so much
Human nature. The brain pushes scary information to the back so it can operate
That must be the go-to in these vax injuries…”must have been born with it”
“Undiagnosed “
And people take their word for it, that’s the wild part.
Loooong coooovid. Imagine how much worse it would have been without the shots...
yep the enemy/parasites are destroying themselves. everyone can see them for what they truly are.
fun to see & most efficient,
I have a few close family members in the nursing/care fields and they have been telling me for the last few years that there has been a lot of "I won't go along with this BS" as they head out the door..
I wasn't in nursing, but support staff. 100% can confirm. I left for that exact reason
I can't imagine why. Aaaanyways, here's an interesting article from the American Medical Association...

Soon they will drop the high school graduation requirement like the Navy just did. Won’t that be great.

Wow
Planes falling apart, people killed from malpractice, it's like...💡 ! It's like they're trying to kill us or something! /s
Nurse Practitoners, in my memory are in many ways superior to doctors in actual applied medicine, in their demeanor to patients.
Maybe.
I had a NP as PCP for a few years. She was book smart with zero common sense. I had an acute infection that she could not figure out and I was trying to get her to investigate what I was eventually diagnosed with. Instead of considering my suggestions, she asked the doc to come in and lecture me about misogyny .
After I got that, I flipped the script and got him to admit he never looked at my chart and he has no idea why I keep coming in, but that nearly weekly visits from a previously healthy person was an “interesting” matter. We had what turned into a good convo and the doc agreed we should look at alternate ways to determine if this infection existed outside of the CDC checkbox method. Right in front of the NP who was smarter and more highly trained than me in medicine. She left pissed off and feeling undermined but she needed an ego check and a lesson on patient care. I was always nice to her and respectful even with our disagreement on my condition.
A week later I was diagnosed and started getting treatment. A week after that I finally got to see a specialist on the matter that I had to wait months to get. So I stopped going to the NP entirely. Once I got better I switched to a different practice.
For sure those with nursing experience can be fantastic allies though. When I had a different issue that involved multiple inpatient visits over time I showered all kinds of love on the nurses. They would always check in on me even if I was not in their charge, they’d give me the nicer rooms, etc. a few times they tracked down absent docs and ride them to do their job. One even took my visiting kid to the caf for a treat when their shift ended so I could take a quick shower.
I thought so too.
There is most definitely an uptick in incompetence in ER! After the third trip to an ER finally a diagnosis of sepsis and some imaging to find the root cause for someone I took to the hospital. The third trip I chose a different hospital and finally got some service. Try a different hospital, bigger, more reputable. Drive further to get there if you have to. Follow your gut and ask for additional tests/imaging if necessary.
i did the opposite. i went to an ER closest to me, sat there for five hours in complete pain. test were ran, no pain meds given. they told me they only found a little infection, dr said "big woo" (her words exactly) then said she wanted me to stay and see the surgeon in the a.m.
i said, if you don't know what is wrong why do i need to see a surgeon??? she said you can stay or leave. i said, i'm leaving. so waited half an hour, no one came to unhook my saline IV. i removed IV myself and left.
two hours later, in so much pain, i went 30 miles to a more rural and smaller hospital. told them i was in terrible pain, i had gone to the other hospital, had tests run and told them to get all the tests from them. within an hour the second hospital read the same tests the first hospital took and low and behold, i had pancreatitis and diverticulitis.
stayed in the hospital for three days on saline and morphine drip, no surgery.
Think about this every dr graduated a class of what 3/400? So you go and look on they’re wall . There is a license. Was this number 1 or number 399?? They dont tell you do they???
And always the doctors take on a practice...
yep and prescribe pharmaceuticals...

that's what my sister said to me. she said, it's called a Dr.'s PRACTICE for a reason.
What do they call the people who ranked lowest in medical schools? DOCTORS!
If by chance you see this, I have a family member who works urgent care. The company decided that to save money they would only have 1 practitioner for the whole clinic with an alternate, extra at a different one who could come over if things are too busy. In that case it’s all about making money and nothing to do about care, even though the family member is plenty caring. It’s a very difficult work environment. I can see why people quit and there’s such a shortage of good practitioners. They were even trying to get an unqualified person to do things that she wasn’t trained or skilled to do. Much healthcare has become poorly run (probably illegal) in my opinion.
$$ has taken the “care” out of health care.
That "free" healthcare is actually good, for the very basic of needs, anything else, it can be a nightmare.
I was just in the ER last week with my daughter, who is 34. She had an earache and jaw pain. After a bunch of bs, I told him to keep it cheap as we’re paying cash over time. He asked, ”Well, what do you want? She really should see an ENT.” I said “Can we try some antibiotics?” I told him that she was just in urgent care a week before and they prescribed steroids and an anxiety pill! No antibiotics. She’s had a tonsil stone stuck for a month and a half. They all looked at it and said it looked okay. Nvm the sharp pain in her jaw and ear. He prescribed Keflex. Lo and behold, 8 hours after the first dose the pain stopped. I told her to stay on track with them for three days and stop. It’s been a week now since we went the second time and so far, so good. I’m floored that I have to come up with a simple solution. This isn’t the first time, either. These people are lost. Mid intelligence, at best. Now, I’m praying that she gets the stone out so we don’t repeat this.
i was hired for a job where they were two years behind in their work. i got them caught up in six months. i was labeled a brown noser for doing my job.
Yeah, fam member of mine has great work ethic and take jobs seriously, biggest complaint is other workers showing up and doing the bare minimum and getting snotty if you speak up. If you are not working the floor with a customer, you can be wiping counters, displays down or checking to refill displays instead of standing in the corner on your phone, sort of thing. Heh, he took it to the upper management for the area and got cell phone use in Wearhouse nixed at least, that helped some.
I had to go in to the ER last week and for my blood draw, I had a Paramedic Trainee... Tried four different places on my arms and ended up blowing out a vein. 0/10 would not recommend.
Even my vet was off the last I took a pup in. Seemed like she was running on Auto instead of actually, taking a good look, listening and diagnosing anything, if that makes sense. heh. Maybe she had a rough night or something but, wasn't her usual self for sure.
My Mom said that her doctor, who she's been going to regularly for over 25 years, has recently always seemed disheveled and scatterbrained. Like, he's forgetful, flustered, and his clothing is disheveled (jacket buttoned wrong, etc). She says this has been the case for the last 2 years, and it seemed to come on suddenly. He's not that old. She's convinced it's the vax, and I agree. She rarely has to go to the doctor anymore now after stopping taking the flu shot every year and quitting almost all prescriptions, so I don't know if it's gotten worse.
My husband was sent to an ER a few weeks back. I had to call 911 bc he was having trouble breathing. He was diagnosed with pneumonia. His oxygen level was in the low 80’s and he was having trouble talking.
We weren’t sure what the real problem was for awhile bc he’s been taking new medication for afib. And it could have been a drug reaction since he started having problems within a half an hour of taking one of his new meds.
He was in the ER overnight and couldn’t get a room until 4 pm the next day. The ER was packed. Wall to wall patients.
While I was there I had to give the nurse a list of all his medications he’s already on. (He’s been on quite a few high blood pressure pills since he was 28).
The new meds were for the afib. I gave the nurse his complete list, the dosage and when he takes them. Including his new meds.
While in hospital he had to complain everyday bc they weren’t giving him the pills he needed to keep his blood pressure down. He spoke with the Cardiologist and the main ER Doctor. He even spoke with the pharmacy several times!
Also he often waited hours to get his meds. . After four days they weren’t gonna let him go home until his blood pressure went down. But they weren’t even giving him two of his blood pressure meds! He finally got an ok blood pressure and we got him back home.
The nurses were actually quite good (except they were late giving him his meds at times). It was the doctors and the pharmacy mainly who couldn’t get their act together!
My observation first hand is that starting in 2000, men and women learned that nurses were paid a fair salary and were always in demand. The 2 year community college grad. came out less well prepared and less empathetic, but became a nurse for money. They became lazier and lazier and wanted someone to make decisions for them, they didn’t want to take responsibility for their own actions/decisions and they were unable to problem solve. Then around 2010 most hospitals began to demand a 4 year degree within 5 years of hire. I suspect the same holds true for doctors and DEI may have a lot to do with it. Doctors are taught to prescribe medications, but not get to the root cause.
I feel like I have noticed everyone around me searching for words when conveying just about anything. I'm very rarely interacting with vaxxed folk to any degree, so I've been wondering if it's coming from the skies.
YES! Had this very conversation with fren wondering the same thing yesterday. 5G, air, water, food, collective stress over world events. Perhaps even our natural foods, vitamins & supplements after reading here on GAW how big pharma is buying out that industry. They want us in the USA sick ($$$) until they eventually finish the job. Oh, with the exception of our replacements from the rest of the world. Our tax dollars will insure they get healthcare, most likely better than where many came from, that is until we take our country, govt, schools, hospitals, businesses etc. back from the globalists.
Or 5G?
I also believe that part of what they are doing with the weather is to intentionally destroy trees so their 5g will carry better. Drought followed by hard, icy freeze. We lost so many trees in Texas a winter back. They are also removing trees at parks and medians that have absolutely nothing wrong with them. Paranoid? Maybe, but it is a valid paranoia.
Wow! Hadn’t thought about 5G. De-vegetation in general was my idea, to kill off heirloom seeds, animal / aquatic life (food sources). Perhaps they want to destroy the canopy of concealment trees offer those trying to flee, hide, militarize an army of patriots in rural or camouflaged suburban settings. Removing healthy trees for no reason is definitely suspect. Paranoia these days is not only valid, but imho healthy. Might even save our lives some day. Never stop questioning until all truths are revealed.
I see ER nurses quite often anf ive found, in the past five years that ive worked with them, they are just the mean girls of the hospitals nursing staff. IMO opinion its nothing new
As a former hospital staff member who used to work with ER staff quite a bit, 1000% true. They don't even wait until the door is closed to make fun of the patient behind their backs. Like how about you c***s do your job and stop shit talking your patients?
Guilt?
Brainwashed stooges killing their patients look incompetent? How dare you.
Our small local hospital seems to have the full staff, nurses, "hospititalists" from traveling agencies. The majority of the staff are not locals, just contracted from other places, and that is how they make their living. I would think that affects them, no roots in the area, etc. Seems to me it would affect a persons consciousness to not have a real home somewhere. I've heard from people who are happier with the walk in places , emergency care set ups instead of the regular hospital. It is hit or miss. My doctor referred me to ER twice in the last year, one for the anaphylactic shock I was going into, and once when my legs gave out from under me. Both times it was handled well, and I managed to get a CAT scan without having to go through all hoops like PT and normal imaging. Discoverd I have stenosis in each section of my spine, and that I had MCAS from chronic Lyme. Otherwise, I would have to have a very serious issue before I went there, and I guess my doc thought those two issues were serious. The MCAS required emergency treatment, but if it was an injury or illness I try to treat it at home. I have a lot of knowledge, and there are times my diagnosis was right on, so I end up telling the doctor what is going on and suggest treatments I have researched. The vaccination causes long term brain fog, so I am not surprised that half the country is distracted and unfocused.
The traveling nurses don’t have to be vaxed. Also they make a shit ton of money.
exactly this... a friend of mine quit her job and is now a travel nurse floating between several clinics. the stories she shares are down right scary, from nurses not checking patients wrist bands to make sure they match their charts where she caught it in the OR after multiple staff had interacted with this patient. this patient would have had the wrong surgery. inexperienced nurses making mistakes that had not been caught could have jeopardize patients life. tissue samples mishandled to where lab techs don't know which patient they came from, so if tested positive for cancer, no way to know which patient it came from. she's the most experienced nurse between all 3 clinics she works at with 16yrs. most have less than 5 yrs and don't care about patients, it's a paycheck for them. they tested a guy for mad cow disease recently until she looked at his chart and it said due for booster 11, she knew exactly what his problems were from...
Around here, all of the health services had "lifers" on the staff, good nurses who knew your history and what you looked like healthy and when you looked sick, it was comforting.They retired or passed and not enough young people go into the field to replace them. I guess it's cheaper to hire travelling nurses than to provide one with good insurance and a pension and accrued vacation and sick time. Plus so much nursing is high tech, so compassion, which used to draw women to the profession, is not neccesary. Amazing how much healing can happen when the patient can be put at ease and know you are praying for them.
I could never be an internal medicine (GP) doctor. Half your patients are exactly the same diagnosis: Eat better and exercise. And you know most of them won't and you know pretty accurately what problems they'll be coming in for in the future for meds and surgery for because they didn't listen.
I KNOW the pharma docs know nothing oabout nutrition-my old VA doc argued with me about what worked better, oatmeal everyday or drugs-I said oatmeal, he said drugs, I fired him.. Last straw.
