It is that for sure.

He's holding their hand while they're dying and says it's too late. Then they go out and get a vaccine and he writes their death note.

How are they getting off a death bed to get a vaccine from someone else or somewhere else?

I know several and they are real doctors (as opposed to fake doctors like Biden’s wife).

You know, that’s an actual legitimate medical specialty.

I just looked up "hospitalist." It sounds so phony, doesn't it? Like a crystal-gazing shaman. But it turns out it is real...and it sounds just like what we used to call the "GP" or, before that, simply "your doctor."

WHAT IS A HOSPITALIST?

A hospitalist is a licensed physician who practices in a hospital and treats an array of conditions. These doctors work to treat patients staying in the hospital due to a variety of illnesses and injuries.

The term “hospitalist” is actually relatively new, first coined in 1996. The hospitalist model of care quickly showed value in proving both efficiency and improved patient outcomes. Studies have even shown how hospitalists helped reduce the length of patient stays.

The need for hospitalists emerged from increasingly complex hospital patient cases. These cases needed dedicated physicians, rather than clinicians also managing ambulatory care and other clinical obligations. Hospitalists emerged from this gap in the medical workforce, and this specialized area of medicine was born.

WHAT DOES A HOSPITALIST DO?
Hospitalists provide general medical care to hospitalized patients. They lead the hospital medical team, coordinating care for inpatients. They may examine individuals as they’re admitted, ordering x-rays, diagnostic tests, and other lab work. Hospitalists examine test results, order treatments and medical services, and prescribe medications. For example, a hospitalist may order respiratory therapy for a patient with pneumonia. They may prescribe antibiotics for a patient with a kidney infection.

Many patients that end up in the hospital have complicated cases. They could have multiple health conditions occurring at once, making hospitalists incredibly important. Unlike specialists that work solely with one organ system or a certain patient demographic, hospitalists see it all. But they also refer patients to specialists when needed. Aside from clinical care, hospitalists may also pursue other endeavors like research, teaching, and performing additional leadership duties.

Sounds a lot what we called "Project Manager" in the engineering world.

Hospitalists are usually internal medicine physicians that provide services only to in-patients at hospitals. They do not have practices at an office location, and only see patient that are admitted. They arrange consultants (other specialists) to see patients and care for general medical needs.
