“....or falling 20-30 feet. If you fell 20-30 feet, wouldn’t you put our arms out to break the fall & have wrist/arm breaks too?”
A couple of years ago I watched a young man who was on a ladder spray painting the very top of a two story house. As he was reaching out sideway spraying the ladder went sideways out from under him. He landed on his back cracking his skull and breaking his ribs. No wrists, arm breaks at all.
I take the daily mail with a grain of salt. “The Daily Mail is a British daily tabloid formatted newspaper founded in 1896”
It is kind of like our National Enquirer.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Sorry it took me until now to report back to you.
I worked my day off yesterday (yeah, I know) because
it is my elderly residents who have suffered the
most during the past two years of being short-staffed due to Covid.
Ideally, we should have TWO nurses, one as a Charge Nurse
and the other to do treatments (injections, wound dressing, etc.)
then there should be TWO C.N.A.s and one Med Tech on each wing.
Our “crew” now is ONE Nurse to do all the aforementioned
ONE C.N.A. on each wing, and a Med Tech on each.
We have been being tested every week now for months.
One of the big shot (way higher up) said to me sarcastically
“So, have YOU tested positive yet?
Nice, huh?
(That was last Monday)
So?
When I arrived at work on Thursday, one of the higher ups
from the office came over and asked me how I was feeling.
Can you guess why?
Yes, Covid positive.
I started to gather my things to leave for home when I was told:”Oh no, you stay and work! You can as long as you a asymptomatic.”
!!!!!!!!!!
I was FURIOUS!
They did NOT call me at home to tell me, they waited until I had come to work and PUNCHED IN, then, they had me where they wanted me.
Once you’re in they can pretty much mandate you to stay/work late/etc. and they KNOW it!
I felt pretty lousy last week, and now I know why!
Think of how unfair this was to me, my husband, and anybody else I might have interacted with!
I had a strange thing happen-my left had became very red and extremely inflamed and excruciatingly painful.
It got so bad, my wedding rings wouldn’t budge.
I though I might have to have them cut off, but I got
the swelling down at home
By the time I drove home, I was crying from it.
My D.O.N. said it was due to Covid.
Her advice?
“Use the other hand.”
Tomorrow, I must go in early to be tested AGAIN.
the 8th time in as many weeks.
They ARE paying us extra, and I am making money hand over fist but.......at what cost?
I am so disheartened.

How many of you know that @mikepompeo pulled the security clearances of Trump’s most loyal supporters?— Cernovich (@Cernovich) February 13, 2022
Unfortunately I was one of those people. I almost lost my clearance because I was politically targeted. Secretary @mikepompeo and his team did NOTHING to help me. It was @JudicialWatch that came in and stood up for me and helped me get my clearance back. Full story soon. https://t.co/cVMCoJg3jx— Catharine O’Neill (@cathponeill) February 13, 2022
Well, I suppose it is possible not to reach out with your arms, but I would suspect something else (like ribs you mentioned) to break than just the head on a 20-30 foot fall.
I’m no expert, just guessing or trying to think logical.
Although this is in Salt Lake City, SF residents are told to let the homeless stay with them:

That is all outrageous! You should report 5hem to DOL and health department. Call into radio stations. And you may have been asymptomatic, but like you said, what about the patients, fellow workers and families! What would your patient’s families think about this?
Did you cut down to 3 days a week? You had mentioned retiring in the past. You have to care for your health.
So sorry this is happening to you Ms.Behaven.
Who knows if these tests are even accurate. When I felt like I had all the symptoms I went through the testing site and my online report came back negative but then it proceeded to say basically you can’t trust the test.
Also when you go buy the test (like my daughter recently did) from the store she works at, I had her check and sure enough, “Made in China.” Not all tests are though.

“...to break than just the head on a 20-30 foot fall.”
I guess I must have missed something along the way though as ALL I have read/heard was he hit his head on the headboard one story and the other story was he got hit over the head with a baseball bat. When did a 20-30 ft fall come into the picture?
.......
I have been thru that, one hospital notoriously understaffed, went to a couple others, no problem
I found out the hard way at the understaffed hospital that you take chances by taking more than what is safe, almost went to court for that. I stuck my neck out to cover their shortage and I got burned. I figure they don't really care, if you get in trouble they deny responsibility. So much for being a team player. The smart ones always stayed away from being floor head nurse.
maybe my mind is going...and I can’t find any record of it, but I would swear, that back in the day, the real Jimmy Hoffa brought trucks in and shutdown D.C. until he got whatever he was striking about.
The only time I actually broke a bone getting thrown off a horse; it was a tame horse that stumbled on a chuckhole, flew off with my head aimed at the ground. Natural reflex, I put my arm out and ended up just breaking my wrist. Horse was ok.
I wonder if he had any enemies or a robbery gone wrong?
Interesting.
I’ve seen sad stories like this before, in Seattle I believe. It’s human nature to want to help people in need, but these days you can’t believe people’s stories.
I think it is all speculation. If he was my family member I sure would like to get to the truth.
And the sad part is you have troubles because you care for your patients.
I never knew why Leo flipped. So I went digging.

I am so sorry for what you are having to deal with. I am talking a lot with the rehab (and now hospice) nurses coming to help my FIL and the stories they tell are sad, especially about nurses working in the hospital. They are doing the work of 5 people it seems, and decent CNAs are almost impossible to find. Home health is stretched thin as well, but not like hospitals.
