Your local hospital is going to require mandatory Covid testing followed by isolation for up to 96 hours if you want surgery

*Explaining.

Your ignorance will betray you. Look it up if you don't believe me. This is for "elective" procedures.

That's sensible.

Nice way to try and derail my thread. Thanks for the free bump.

When this thread disappears you can't say I didn't warn you. This will be exposed more in the coming weeks.

Guess I won't be having eye surgery

Thanks America

I know this thread is serious but that GIF gets me every time lmao

Ironic how the worst of the 'super bugs' that killed people, all mostly came from hospitals in the first place....

This is a risky and unfortunate time to get sick with any non covid illnesses.

Either sick people start learning and choosing natural way of self healing and living, or perished with fear unattended by doctors, or risking getting covid or mistreated by going to hospitals.

people die in hospitals

Yup I agree

I won't be going

Thanks for the pin- not sure why more people don't see the underlying implications here if these policies are used nationwide-go to the hospital four days prior to your knee surgery take mandatory Covid test get told to isolate for 72-96 hours then risk going out and catching Covid or even testing positive from the initial test. If you test positive what if they refuse to let you even return home to your family? If you are negative but return in three or four days with a temperature process starts over. This is the exact procedure my local hospital has detailed in the local paper here in Pennsylvania

UPMC is University of Pittsburgh Medical Center - a few dozen hospitals mostly in Western Pennsylvania, area of Pittsburgh PA. Some very good hospitals. That being said, they should isolate the doctors and nurses instead of the patients, if they really want to prevent illnesses.

Looks like this is being implemented everywhere- [link to orthosurgery.ucsf.edu (secure)]
Check out rule 5

Maybe the first step in all this to develop a test that actually works.

To help minimize risk of asymptomatic spread of coronavirus during your procedure we ask that you:

Continue to shelter in place to protect yourself from others in the community.
Follow physical distancing and handwashing guidelines. This applies to the person who will be bringing you to and from surgery as well.
Avoid contact with others or leaving the home as much as possible prior to surgery.
Pre-surgery COVID-19 testing: We want to perform your surgery in the safest possible circumstances to give you the best chance of a smooth recovery. One of our healthcare members will reach out to ask you about symptoms and will schedule you for coronavirus testing even if you do not show symptoms consistent with the virus. We are doing this as a precautionary measure so that we have all of the information we need to provide you with the safe care.

Read the list I just posted and imagine have a job and family and trying to do that prior to any procedure you need

Got a link to any of this that can be verified?

Did you see the link I posted?

I did but it says things like "want" you to be tested. I'm not seeing a "have to" clause and nothing to indicate this is going to be a nationwide practice.

Sister is a nurse. She had a patient call in to confirm her appointment but did NOT inform her that she had already tested positive.
The woman needs a kidney transplant And she has cancer. They tested her when a kidney became available and then refused to give it to her
When she finally told my sister the truth it was revealed that she expected them to test her again and to mark it as Negative so that she could get her kidney
My sister had to explain to her that she most probably will Always be positive.
Lots of issues going on behind the scenes

Sorry about that bad link but first off no it doesn't say want to- the UCSF link states you have to. And so does this one [link to www.wtae.com (secure)]

I'm sure they are the definitive when making choices on who is a useless eater. The cull factory!

A "policy" is not a law.
