After a while that no longer worked because there were simply too many cases. We ran out of Ventilators and so ‘elective surgeries’ were put on hiatus. The Units needed the Anesthesia Ventilators in order to handle the burden. Now a vent is essentially a vent, but the Anesthesia ones are much larger and more sophisticated. They all do the basic same thing but the big ones had more gauges and other bells and whistles.
Still though, by last Summer the caseloads were quite imposing. People were being treated in different fashions because to me it was clear that the ‘virus’ was doing something but it was just different for every Patient. It did appear that mechanical ventilation for the vast majority of these poor victims was indeed a ‘death sentence.’ The Physicians were genuinely perplexed.
My Department was requested to do a lot more work than ordinary, and we were almost busy all of the time before this thing came along. The Docs are always smart people, but they often needed help with absorbing the different modes. This was our Bread & Butter and our familiarity with equipment and routines was critical.
The one thing that bothered me the most regarding ‘the work’ was that we seemed to be ones getting constantly bombed. Often Doctors and others did not even enter the Patient Rooms during their ‘rounding.’ I will be likely called a Liar for Posting that, but I don’t care what they say as I am out of it now, unless they reverse these mandates. Sure, they threw money at us for picking up all the Overtime that we wanted. There were some hefty paychecks for a lot of us. These days people with credentials are beginning to make close to $300,000 a year, but few are applying. Those mandates were a bonehead idea. It is not going to get better following convoluted reasoning behind that SCOTUS ruling last week. ‘All Citizens are equal, but some Citizens are less equal than others.
Anyhow, I am witness to this, that this ‘bug’ that they insist is a new super virus and the root of the ‘pandemic’ is fought in so many different ways that few can keep up.
I finally gave up last year. I am simply too old and feeble, though I look good on the outside.
Just trying to help people discern a few things that is almost certainly not being presented on the TV, or most Media.
The Government and the ‘Experts’ such as Fauci have been lying their asses off for 2 years now.
Radix, did this sort of “protocol checklist of approved treatments” start when hospitals all started to become huge corporations? It appears that they treat patients as numbers and then go down a list of approved methodologies, finding themselves perplexed that nothing works. But the checklists are approved by whom? Anthony Fauci? A board of directors? INsurance agencies? It doesn’t seem to be “medicine”... it seems to be a cookie-cutter approach to managed death.
