This nurse went from Tampa to help at a hospital in Queens. She describes her experience. Do you work at this hospital?
No but I am a board certified intensivist and have treated many covid and ARDS patients. My certifying board has required extensive CME on the treatment of SARS and I have participated in planning and administrative level preparation for SARS and numerous other diseases that would potentially overwhelm the system
The system is relatively standardized with rapid communication of best practices. This ER nurse I assure you does not follow the patients on the floor and in my judgment lacks the education and insight to make the judgments she has from a professional standpoint and from a specialty standpoint
What she has said is long on assumption and short in data. But we have seen a lot of that with this disease.
