Any hospital workers here? Are the hospitals really full?

Posted on 07/18/2021 7:10:27 AM PDT by MNDude

I've seen a number of articles lately about claiming the hospitals are full with Covid patients again.

Is this true or just more fake news?

Here’s my understanding about the hospitals in Tallahassee. Due to the law forcing them to treat special groups for free, they started selling off their bed space to individual practices that have control over who they treat. My understanding is the actual “hospital” owned bed space is minimal now. If you come into the emergency room and you aren’t one of the protected classes who get treated free, they can charge anything they want. Florida countered by making it so, okay, they charged a million dollars, as long as you’re paying a few bucks every month, they can’t do anything. I had a friend who paid $20 a month. When they called, as they periodically do, demanding full payment, he negotiated a smaller total and they took it.

The problem is not that some people don’t have insurance. The problem is that some people do. Those people pay less and the insurance pays more. But, in several incidents, I paid cash which turned out to be less than my deductible. Also, when the Urologist’s scheduler found out I was paying cash, it went from an appointment six months out to, “Can you be here at 10 o’clock Friday?

Whether the hospitals are full or not is probably not a good indicator of the real situation. Their “fullness” is not driven by actual bed count.

Just curious, do you know if those three states count probables and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases?

NYS does.

Remember when Elon Musk, with his typical fanfare, declared he was re-tooling one of his car plants to making ventilators?

That kind of sums up the whole Covid era for me.

I listened to a vid (Ann Barnhardt podcast) with a nurse (anesthesia ER) and a doc who said their ICUs are not full, but....they’re seeing an uptick in shot related adverse effects.....such as cardio, neurological and thrombosis type ailments.

“This disease is no joke. True that we really do not understand who is or is not susceptible. But if you are and this virus affects your lower respiratory tract, you are in bad trouble. This delta variant seems to be more communicable. If you receive the vaccine it is not likely you will become seriously ill from COVID. For what its worth if you are over 40 or have an underlying medical condition, despite some of the known and unknown risks of the vaccine, you are in harms way if you are not vaccinated.”

99.97% survival rate. My uncle took his second shot and is the hospital for lung blood clots. If you take the shot (it is not a vaccine), you are a GMO (Genetically Modified Organism)! Do not trust the shot pushers on this site or the Media. There is something truly nefarious going on right now.

Haven’t you noticed all the bodies stacked up like cord wood, lining the streets?

Man, it’s horrific, the apocalypse, the end of days.

Game over!

At least, that’s how it sounds according to the presstitutes.

“None of them are noticing anything except an increase in heart problems among people 30 and under.”

Vaxxed people?

This is eventually going to start to be a topic of discussion with health insurance executives and executives at companies generally if they start to notice uptakes in extended sick leave among their rising young stars.

Covid cases are going to spread, due to these shots.

What are the HOSPITAL RATES (and vax’d/un-vax’d rates) and death rates of these three states, that you did research on a few days ago?

I had 60 percent of my staff get COVID.. I watched it run through nursing homes. I have had otherwise healthy coworker get the vax and cardiomyopathy. I am over 40 and I don’t buy the lie, because I have watched this daily.

My brother had his catalytic converter cut off in a hospital parking lot.

Anyway, these people were admitted to the hospital with Covid, supposedly, for a short period of time. The ones who were nurses did not understand why given their “stats.”

Probably because the hospitals stood to falsely gain 12,000 dollars for every covid patient they admitted. I think it was an extra 30 grand if they hooked up a ventilator.

A friend of mines wife is a RN who told me they get more fentanyl overdoses than anything else. Where does fentanyl come from? China who sends it to Mexico where it is brought across our wide open border thanks to a criminal that Republicans refuse to impeach.

Oh contraire! The Delta variant, A weaker mutation (because viruses mutate weaker) is like hay fever. Most people don’t even know they have it. So they should run out and get injected with a dangerous drug? More people are dying of the vaccine than the covid.

All I can tell you that EMS calls are flat. From about Feb. until into May 2020 they were hauling people off quite regular in these parts for respiratory episodes. Mainly elderly and people who had acute issues that made them vulnerable to coronavirus. That has been the one and only time period since there has been a flood of calls like that.

Ah, but that’s not clear, is it?

Are they in with or for?

And even the ones who are in with may not even have CoupFlu, just viral debris up their schnoz. You can bet the hospital isn’t using saliva testing. Debris clears too quickly.

In any case, those numbers don’t approach capacity, though MO doesn’t make that info easily available. You have to scroll down to the note and do the math yourself.
