Regarding "hundreds of people in the ER" posts

This is true. We have to reform how we model the value of the human factor in our system.



I am not sure what the future model looks like, probably a hybrid.

People are living in a World of Pure Imagination, that

Yep this is accurate. I work at a small hospital. Because there are no asylums anymore and most mental health agencies have been shutting down even before COVID half the patients we see in the ER are pych cases or people tripping on drugs. These people need to be in a treatment facility because they have so many issues that are long term that cannot be addressed in the ER. So because they have nowhere to send these people they park them in the ER for days. During that time they are taking up critical bed space but we cant just kick them out. This is an epidemic I saw coming when I was in my 20's. We are now seeing the fruits of the drug generation as brain fried druggies age and now have major psychiatric problems due to brain damage from the drugs. It's just going to get worse so buckle up!

you can guess it is fake when it is a concerted effort by dozens of posters at an appointed time to sell the same agenda..

over and out.

Out of state or out of country?

if there really is a pandemic, why didn't the hospitals fill up with dying homeless people??

For Texas, it's the same diff.

Right. And behaviorly they are out of control and so time consuming for the nurse that they are causing massive harm to her other patients who have critical medical problems.

Ahhh - thanks. Answers some questions for sure -

only this time they're going to stick the stick up our butts.

My jaded opinion is to strap their asses down and pump them full of thorazine.

There are peoples lives on the line, and the nutters usually cannot be helped anyway.

Thank god for some reality from someone who actually knows. People don’t understand how short staffed hospitals always run and it has been going on long before covid. If they fire people who do not take the shot it’s going to be hell at the hospital due to staffing. All the nurses are already quitting to be travel nurses.

You need to use the spell check.

As an ER tech I can back up these claims. Just 3 years ago our small hospital expanded its ER to 3x its size and was taken over by big brother hospital from the big city next door. They did not increase staffing and we were already short staffed. Btw. The ones who are coming in sick with covid are the ones who are already vaxed

Thank you for the glimpse inside Government controlled (corporate big money equals profits) sick management.

That's because of how the AMA has been allowing people into medical schools that have no business being Docs.

For the last 30 years, our office, served as a place where 3rd yr. medical students would come & do a 6 week clinical rotation. We really enjoyed having the students. The majority were really intelligent, hardworking & inquisitive students. Recently, over the last 5 years, the students have become less & less intelligent & are extremely lazy & basic crybabies.

After the last 2 students we had that spent more time fiddling with their Iphones & complaining that we have chosen NOT to do electronic medical records. In other words, they have to actually write an office visit note down & they didn't have spell check & it requires an effort. There's no boxes to check & they must actually see & physically evaluate the patient. Things like listen to a chest, listen to a heart, etc.

They cried & whined like babies & pouted all day long. They consistently forgot to take a history of the patient, they had to because they didn't know them & they couldn't depend on the long, outdated & inaccurate lists that EMR provides them. Imagine if someone accidentally hit the wrong code & added that you had a history of Congestive Heart Disease. You now have anyone who see's you that's linked to this software (all Specialists) that you have a history of CHF. This could be a real problem, especially if you are young. It could cause your insurance to cost more & could change some of the treatments you might receive.

This sounds easy to correct, right? Nope! It's almost impossible to get this off of a medical record. How many times do you think this happens? Think about this.

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) suck! I review notes from Specialists & Radiology all the time before I give it to my Doc. I scan for problems & I prioritize what he sees first. I have found so many errors we decided NOT to go to EMR. It's actually very scary! We're a Primary Family Practice office, our job is to coordinate our patient's care between us & any & all specialists. The amount of errors is so scary. We have given up trying to get them the Specialist's to correct their notes. We call & call & they never do it.

We have gotten to just lining thru their mistakes, Doc initials & dates. You all have NO IDEA!

Anyway, after 30 years of being a teaching office for 3rd year medical students, we told them to take us off their list. These kids don't give one shit, they aren't very smart & they sure as hell are not motivated to learn anything that isn't on their Iphone.

So, now you know why it's so dangerous to have someone like Google inform your future Docs, about your illness & what the preferred current appropriate txmt is. They have no clinical experience, they don't think they need it. They want to treat everyone the same, you are not a person with concerns & a family, you are just a diabetes patient. Or a person with a URI. If the test says you're positive, but you have no symptoms, you're still positive. Instead of questioning if the test is wrong.

I could write a friggin' book! I don't blame anyone when they say that medical care is risky today, it is. f you don't have a regular family practice doc that has seen you for years & knows all about you, you should be very careful. Question everything. If they do use, which most do, EMR, get a copy of your visit or have them send a copy to your family physician if you see a specialist.

Still, you just can't be sure. I know we don't take new patients & haven't for years. We know our patients & their problems without even looking at their chart. I don't have to guess, I know who needs to be seen today & who can wait until tomorrow. This is the way medicine is suppose to be practiced. But today, the majority are working for big corporations & hospitals & that sucks for everyone. All they are interested in is money. Neither I nor my husband ever expected to get rich practicing medicine, and so we are not. We went into this wanting to help people. And thankfully, this is what we have been given the chance to do. We could have done anything else we wanted. My husband is very, very intelligent, he could have been any kind of a doc he wanted, he chose Family Practice. I also could have been a doc, I chose not to. Our kids needed at least one parent available at all times. We've worked together in our Independent office since 1993. He worked with 2 other docs for a few years, but decided to go out on his own in 1993.

I don't know what the answer is, but I know what it isn't. It isn't Corporate Medicine with EMR. That is a complete failure!

good post

i'll take your advice on absolutely nothing.

Exactly and the majority of them just need to be in jail and would have been in jail in the 1990’s and prior to that time. The hospitals are a dumping ground for lazy police who pick up drunks and druggies and dump them at the hospital then they get involuntary mental health holds placed on them and the hospital is stuck with them until they can get placed in a mental health facility and that can take days or a week. Meanwhile they are a constant problem for nurses and security an endanger the other patients in the hospital. People don’t realize that if you take your kids to the hospital for sutures you may very well be sitting in a room next to a homicidal nutcase who threatened to murder his whole family but the cops were too lazy to arrest him so they bring him to the hospital for “mental health” reasons and they don’t have to do any paperwork.

The increase in variant is highly suspicious. Funding alone needed to test for the variants is out of range for normal hospitals. Unless hospitals are sending out for testing or sending tissue samples to said agencies.

PCR assays are not designed to be used as diagnostic tools, as they can’t distinguish between inactive viruses and “live” or reproductive ones.

Besides that, previously, the WHO had recommended 45 “amplification” cycles of the test to determine whether someone was positive for COVID or not.

The thing is, the more cycles that a test goes through, the more likely that a false positive will come up — anything over 30 cycles actually magnifies the samples so much that even insignificant sequences of viral DNA end up being magnified to the point that the test reads positive even if your viral load is extremely low or the virus is inactive.

Thank you, OP.

Mid to late 70s the u.s was on the right path for treating mentally ill people with special hospitals etc. then various 'liberal' organizations shut them down to be on the streets or at home to fend for themselves (pretty much) SO often times the ended up in prison.

Now seems to me and my understanding the prison's under democrat rule have released them from prisons. Prisons are not ideal but my understanding they get medicated and probably looked after in prison.

I really should go to a doctor for medical reasons like test and a checkup but frankly am afraid to do so 'cause dont know whats changed and how bizarre a routine trip to a doctor will be. Fact is have not been to a doctor in 30 years.

great post, we all know it is all bullshit, but the media says it is real and enough believe it to comply. its like if my neighbor takes pcp and thinks there are vampires and starts shooting, it doesnt matter if there are none there are not, if it hits my family etc. it might as well be real. that is the sorcery of all this, and why you can't name who owns the media that perpetuates all this in lockstep with the governments, corporations, etc. with a true media that could report and confront lies of corruption, there would be these rational statements. but we are reduced to whispering it on a conspiracy forum.

Before you all go anti covid.... having no space in the ER means this new wave is a nightmare regardless of why we have no space in the ER.


If you have bad covid, or break your leg. or have a heart issue, you will still be SOL for care.
