Meanwhile, my wife’s hospital is laying people off left and right. She has just had to take a 20% reduction in shift just to keep her job, and she is a supervisor.
Our local hospital is forcing the anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists to take unpaid leave because they’ve shut down 75% of their surgeries since last month.
They can’t do elective surgeries and the coronavirus pandemic has not materialized here, so there’s no work and no revenue.
Maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t expect doctors and nurses to be furloughed during a true pandemic.
