Nashville nurse on latest COVID-19 surge: 'It is so much worse this time'
The Hill ^ | 09/16/2021 | Lexi Lonas

Posted on 09/16/2021 11:42:35 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A Nashville nurse wrote an op-ed in the Scientific American detailing her experience as a nurse during the pandemic, saying the current wave of delta cases is much worse than what she experienced last year.

“It is so much worse this time. We all have so much less to give. We are still bearing the fresh and heavy grief of the past year and trying to find somewhere to put all this anger. But the patients don’t stop coming,” Kathryn Ivey, a critical care nurse at a medical center in Nashville, said.

“The numbers are higher now than they’ve ever been, the patients coming in younger and sicker. Death is at my shoulder again, as silent as he is relentless,” she said.

Lies, lies and more lies.

From their own beloved CDC, cases and deaths approaching ZERO:

Data does not support this claim. Jan-April was far far worse this year.

Here’s the data, it’s still age 70 dominating new admissions. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#new-hospital-admissions

Strange reaction from a woman who choose the vocation of becoming a nurse.

No one could have predicted Covid three years but aside from that didn’t this woman know what she would encounter working in a hospital?

I work in an hospital ER. The s**t never stops. Not just Covid but the whole parade of the human condition goes on 24/7.

I can understand job burn out and stress. It happens. That’s when you need to step back and recoup.

I’ve known a few RN’s over the last few years who have retired because of age or stress.

You ain't black if you didn't vote for Joe Biden. And if you did vote for Joe Biden and you're allowed to be black, your blackness will be revoked if you don't get vaccinated.

Your social standing is only valid from one class warfare wedge issue to the next. Your social standing is on call.

So what has changed since the “last time?”

If I could only put my finger on it......OH, I KNOW, MILLIONS HAVE BEEN VACCINATED!

and we replaced competency with a bumbling idiot!

She sure does get around. This is from last month (not sure how her name went from Sherman to Ivey, but it’s her twitter account shown in the article):

https://www.newschannel5.com/news/newschannel-5-investigates/covid-investigations/nurse-im-really-really-angry-all-the-time-people-are-dying-who-dont-need-to-die

Kathryn Sherman became a nurse hoping to save lives.

She never imagined that she would lose so many so needlessly.

“I don’t want anybody to end up suffering the way that my patients have suffered,” Sherman told NewsChannel 5 Investigates.

“I have resigned myself to the fact that, for many people, that is how they’re going to learn.”

One day in July of last year, Sherman became a nurse.

The next day, she was assigned to her hospital’s intensive care unit, coming face to face every shift with a pandemic killer.

“In the past year, new nurses did not get to be new nurses,” she recalled.

At some point, some rando stranger in a checkout line will speak to me and I shall turn slowly, face them with dead eyes and flatly drone “ Death is at my shoulder again, as silent as he is relentless” and then silently turn back to my cart.

Bingo. Fill an ICU bed for observation and collect $11,000 a day .... beats the vacancy and sending the nurses home. Directions from above are that all ICU beds will be filled and preferably by $11,000 or $39,000 Wuhan virus patients.
