Carlos Maldonado was delivering a specimen his physician wanted him to take to Cleveland Clinic’s Lutheran Hospital location on West 25th Street for testing on Saturday, December 18, 2021. When he arrived at 10:30 a.m. Maldonado learned the laboratory had closed two hours earlier due to a worker shortage.
The Lutheran Hospital employee who turned Maldonado away explained that only one person showed up for work though four were scheduled. The single employee who did arrive for work was sent back home. The normal Saturday workload was too much for one worker to handle....

Cleveland Clinic is very “woke” these days and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that they fired some of their lab employees.
The lab closed, not the hospital
The lab is critically important. It is quite concerning for it to be closed.
Doesn’t the lab service the hospital?
I mean, this particular guy could make other arrangements for what he needed done, but it might not be so easy for other people.
As bleak as the medical picture looks now, I suspect that there may soon be a revolution in how we get medical treatment. It will probably involve the internet, AI and maybe a few other technologies. But people do not like interminable waits and arbitrary restrictions on what medications we can have. I’ve laid in a supply of Ivermectin by unorthodox means. Apparently, others have done the same as the shelf clears out hours after they load it.
A similar revolution is likely to occur in education. A friend’s lightly built son was badly beaten by three “diverse” persons. He told his parents he wasn’t going back to school, and he’d finish his education online. He graduated 18 early and with honors. All curtesy of the internet. Now, granted, his big, burly and dumber brother tried the same thing and failed.
Then there’s this:
State lawmakers urge Ohio Medicaid director to designate Summa Health a ‘distressed hospital’ and provide money for hiring more staff
Maybe they all caught a cold.
Cleveland Clinic isn’t what it is built up to be. Yes they have some great heart doctors, and Saudi Princes like to go there to get their heart troubles cleared up; but the institution is an industrial mediocrity. Took a totally irresponsible posture last year about covid, “follow the experts” and all that rubbish. Lied about staff numbers out with covid. Fuhgeddaboudit.
The Browns game was postponed so they weren’t down at the Muni lot tailgating...
Yes. Misleading headline.
For your consideration.
Or maybe Cleveland fired any medical lab scientists who refused to get vaxxed.
And perhaps those who remained needed a day off from being overworked...
Oh and I do know of which I speak as a kid of mine is about to be fired due to non-vax—they are a medical lab scientist...
The workload may have been more than one person could handle but they could at least have done their job and something would have got done instead of sending them home with nothing getting done.
No it’s misleading. The hospital is open. It’s seeing people. It’s performing surgeries. The LAB was closed that day. Stop panicking
The thing for all those people to do would be to start unvaxxed only clinics that refuse to take any government funding.
I know there are legal issues and liability, but I can’t help but wonder if you wouldn’t get better and cheaper care.
I hear there are places to go in the Caribbean and India for specialty treatment, like heart surgery, that are far less expensive nd far better quality than here in the states and you can actually get in to them.
You’re missing the point. The hospital can’t properly treat patients without being able to receive lab reports. How will a doctor proceed on a patient without lab reports?
Happened to me a few weeks ago south of Boston, there was another location across town which saved the day.
On!y urgent or emergency surgery is now being scheduled till January, actually.
