I left a terrible, well-deserved review of a hospital and their explainer called to try and mitigate it. First she tried to claim they weren't short-staffed, then pretended they couldn't internet search the article I referenced about them being short-staffed. Part of the review was how in the lobby the staff told everyone over and over they were short-staffed, then the PA (no doctor was apparently available) told me, nooooo, they weren't short-staffed.

Later in the conversation the explainer used being short-staffed as an excuse for one of the terrible things they did!

"That's no excuse, YOU fired a large part of your staff for no good reason," I counter-explained. "That's not the fault of your patients."

If you are short-staffed, the only logical position to take next...is to lessen the number of rooms, and patients. Once you do that...the financial survival of the hospital comes into play, and HR gets dragged into meeting the finance people.

Whether we agree or not...the whole system is 3rd-world rigged at this point. You can’t run a medical system without consequences going on constantly now.
