I work in healthcare. That sounds about right. I continue to be stunned at the collapse happening around me.
I seem to have fairly good luck with my VA facility. Had a carotid check last week and consult with the PA. The numbers on the right side have gone up (as expected) and we talk to the surgeon on 2/9. Left side was done about 18-20 months ago. We’ll see how quick they schedule the op. It took Mrs rktman about 3 and a half months of hoop jumping to get her gall bladder out with purchased insurance. Crazy out here! 🙄
2010 I went to the hospital with a kidney infection after being run over by a drunk driver. They had great service.
2022 went to the same hospital. After 6-7 hours they put me in a room with no bathroom, no food, no medicine, just a TV. After about 11 hours I unhooked myself from the machines, they made all sorts of bleeps, got dressed and walked out.
I told the nurses I was leaving and they said “bye”.
A week later a man they placed in the hall on a stretcher passed away and lay there dead for several hours when someone finally noticed.
Yes, it’s gotten much worse. You’d be better off being eaten by an alligator than going to die in a hospital.
Me aptoo. I also hear daily how the vax kneelers think every unvaxxed person should be denied all care. These are the people at your grandmas hospital bed providing care.. up to leadership at all levels.
