As a pulmonologist and director of the palliative care unit at a Beaumont Health hospital in southeastern Michigan, Trunsky sees some of the facility's sickest patients and is often the bearer of bad news.
He gets it. No one is prepared to hear their loved one is dying.
But when a well-regarded intensive care unit nurse told him during a recent shift that the wife of an unvaccinated covid patient had berated her when she informed the woman of her husband's deteriorating condition, Trunsky, who has lost more than 100 patients to the coronavirus, reached his breaking point.
Still sporting his black scrubs, he began to vent [on Facebook]. He wrote about a critically ill patient who disputed his covid-19 diagnosis. Another threatened to call his lawyer if he wasn't given ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug that is not approved for treating covid. A third, Trunsky wrote, told the doctor they would rather die than take one of the vaccines.
One demanded a different doctor, "I don't believe you," he told the physician.

Trunsky's post detailing his interactions with eight covid patients and their relatives highlights the resistance and mistreatment some health care workers across the U.S. face while caring for patients who have put off or declined getting vaccinated. Trunsky estimates that nine out of every 10 covid patients he treats are unvaccinated.
His post - a plea for people to get vaccinated - also reveals the physical and emotional toll the pandemic has had on health care workers, who have been on the front lines for over a year and a half. Roughly 3 out of 10 have considered leaving the profession, according to a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll, and about 6 in 10 say stress from the pandemic has harmed their mental health.

Old fear mongering news.
$39,000 a corpse
Do not deny Christ.
Many doctors are megalomaniacs. I know a lot who aren’t, but I know many more who are. Telling a doctor you don’t believe them is like telling them their child is ugly.
An example of a cowardly and ignorant doctor who is unaware of early treatment and blames his patients for HIS failures.
Disbelief - even when made in error - is the consequence of learning we’ve been lied to. I wouldn’t be surprised if he hadn’t counseled his patients to swear allegiance to St. Fauxi.
I assume that since COVID is easily treatable and this doctor likely refused to use the known effective treatments that they all thought that’s they were really dying of negligent malpractice, not COVID. I agree.
I believe vaccinated people die as well. Duh.
If they were told that the virus was killing them, they are correct to deny it:
The treatment protocols kill patients.
Due to an offensive on the free exchange of information and 1A, those patients lack the knowledge to demand adequate care and also lack knowledge of their rights to a medical advocate when sequestered within a corporate or state medical facility under ‘covid guidelines’.
most deaths occur from medical mistakes. this doctor is losing a bunch of patients, perhaps he should try HCQ or ivermectin.
“No Ivermectin or MCA for YOU!”
Note to self: don’t go to the doctor that loses over 100 patients to a disease that has better than 99% survival rate.
I believe @sfgate as far as I can throw them.
I’ll take “Things nobody said” for $1000 Alex.
I call BS on this “doctor” and nobody is denying they have Covid. And NO way it is 100+ people.
Someone I know full vaccinated just died from Covid. So stop the BS. Vaccination doesn’t guarantee anything.
I don’t believe him either. 100 patients? Please.
Must not permit people to agree with Trump. Death is better for them, right?
“ Old fear mongering news.”
****************************
Sometimes actual facts and reality can be scary.
I concur with this. Lots of denial, but then again there are many purported to be dying of Covid when there were other things going on.
I’ve talked to my colleagues. They say:
1. Virtually no serious vaccine side effects seen. Thousands of shots and close to nil serious short term side effects.
2. Everyone in the hospital with Covid related illness are unvaccinated.
3. No one in hospital is a vaccinated person.
4. All deaths are with unvaccinated people
5. Younger people dying (ie 30s-50s) with few if any comorbidities, the most being mild obesity.
6. 99% plus recovering at home.
7. Some break through vaccinated cases, who are mildly sick if at all for a few days.
8. Upper respiratory illness going around, Covid negative, presenting with productive cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, responding to Z-Pak.
