I don’t to read the crap y’all post because I’M LIVING IT. Y’all throw out BS like “well I heard” and “this one time in Oklahoma”…I don’t care to read it because I’m telling you I can’t provide the same level of care to my patients because all the hospitals in MS are overwhelmed. And generally “hospital beds” aren’t the issue. It’s ICU beds, critical care staff (nurses, techs, therapists) and non-critical care staff that are the issue.
You think we’re treating patients out of tents being staffed by federal employees and Samaritan’s purse cause it’s fun.
There are things that can be debated about this pandemic but COVIDs effect on hospitals is not one of them and I get really pissed by any insinuation otherwise.
