I think it's a mistake to expect the same demographics be seen inside the healthcare system as in the general population. "What the world really looks like" has little to do with what you'll find in heathcare workers.

For instance, Filipinos make up less than 1% of the US population, but count for around 5% of nurses in the US. And I'm not sure if you've never noticed that the vast majority of nurses are women. That is obviously not representative of our population.

I've noticed that in my area, one of the wealthiest in the country, that black women make up a large percentage of what we would call "drudge workers". These would be the nursing assistants, janitorial, cafeteria work, and especially those working in assisted living/retirement centers. I'm not sure if this is because no one else is willing to do that work, or because black women are less likely to have college degrees that are needed for better jobs. That's obviously a complicated situation to figure out.

As for the foreign doctors, that has much to do with how inaccessible college is in general in the US. It really became an issue during the Great Recession, and you might remember all the protests like Occupy Wall Street. Millennials in particular were protesting for affordable education. And it's only gotten worse since then. So having foreign doctors is going to be the standard in the US if college remains too expensive for US citizens.

I'd also like to point out how often Anons recommend that the younger generations not bother with higher education at all, that they should go into one of the trades instead. While I fully support more people going into the trades, I think this is one of those situations where we're shooting ourselves in the foot. This is why liberals outnumber us so much in occupations like medicine or education, etc....

The issues with staff being overwhelmed and tasks not being done is most likely due to a nation wide shortage of nurses and nursing assistants. Covid is mainly to thank for that. Nurses nearing retirement age just quit in droves rather than deal with all the Covid nonsense. Many younger nurses quit or took sabbaticals during covid at the same time fewer people went into nursing.

Seeing as how blood clots are one of the most common and dangerous things to happen to patients after surgery, it only makes sense for them to do what they can to prevent them. I'm really not sure why you seem critical about their efforts here....

I'm sorry that you had a rough go of it, but you came through it alive, without any severe problems. So I'd chalk this one up on the plus side, no matter what race or nationality the nurses and doctors were.
