Hospitals Facing Backlog In Patients Who Delayed Care Due To Pandemic
My friend has been due for an MRI for a year now. The hospital won’t let her come in for the procedure because they don’t have the staff or resources to spare because of how full they are with covid patients.
Antivax stay home
STOP pampering the unvaccinated.
"All Children" and the vaccinated should be treated first.
Also, 10-20% of the hospital beds should be reserved for non-Covid patients like cancer, heart, organ transplants and other who cannot, at the moment, be vaccinated. If you have a serious car accident, or other illness, you are in trouble. No beds.
The unvaccinated adults have made their personal choices. The real shame is that unvaccinated adult’s push their unscientific opinion’s onto their children.
About 1,000-2,000 Americans are now dying daily, mostly unvaccinated.
And let’s not forget about those moronic people taking Horse/Cow de-wormers.
To quote Stephen king: “Nope nothing wrong hereâ€ÂÂ.
Luv to see doctors who refuse unvaccinated patients coz the cramped waiting rooms with recirculated air just don't cut it.
I delayed cataract surgery and now cannot drive safely. Live alone. Family 300 miles away. Back log on surgery.
Lester tow that line
Covid taught people that they were foolish to trust these doctors
If they must choose who to treat, kick the covid antivax and do whatever for those who didn't cause their own disease
Thanks, Covid-Karens!
These are not elective surgeries. My God
This illustrates how AWFUL health non-care is in the U.S. Greedy insurance companies, politicians, pharmaceuticals companies, medical supplies and so on. This is the cause. Combine that with a semi-literate populace and this is the effect. The above industries are nothing but legalized racketeering. When you have corruption at this level you will have incompetence.
"…Delayed Care Due To Pandemic" motivates us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to #ConvinceItForward for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica. Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining to form hybrids that render current COVID vaccines/pills no longer effective.
I’m glad she’s up and walking. Walking is important therapy in and of itself.
Keep protecting your daughter B….
wow Americas crappy healthcare system has singlehandly destroyed America. crazy
Backlog because you laid off nurses. I’d happily be treated by a nurse of any vaccination status.
I heard Biden gets $1.00 for every Covid shot given. Does he have some sort of deal with the drug companies?
They should start covid only hospitals, in thees covid hospitals only covid patients and non vaccinated healthcare workers can work as long and hard as they want, and everyone wins the non vaccinated workers can continue to work, and the covid patients will get care and on the other side the non-covid hospitals can take care of good healthy patients that need elective surgeries and vaccinated staff can feel good about working in a covid free zone. that is a great idea. WOW
during h1n1 the dnc allow out patient treatment, but fast forward 2020 they ban treating covid symptoms with only promote wait for ventilator or vaccine which increase death
did you know that the real reason dnc had muller/17 dems claim russia hack election is to cover up bush/obama rig presidency for killing iraq to syria=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mrJRHwbVG8
pelosi with 300 house members play good bad cop games for migrant crisis western nations wasting trillions that could have been better used to give all medicare
My mother at age 48 has metal rods in her back, and in her feet.
All our ICU bed are filled, so some covid patients have died in general medical floor.
I took vitamin d, all set.
