Who wrote this? Is it real? What hospital?

Nobody knows.

It’s the second anonymous, different yet similar letter alleged to be from a doctor in a hospital in NOLA.

Ags on the forum seem to know this poster, as a regular.

The author of the post linked in this thread claims that he’s discharging 10-15 multifocal multifocal pneumonias every shift.

So, how many patients is this doctor seeing per shift? The average ER doc sees 2-3 patients per hour. A typical ER shift is 12 hours.

Unless he’s working 100 hour shifts, it is difficult to believe that 10-15 of his probable 25-40 daily patients have multifocal pneumonia, much less that this many patients with that diagnosis are being discharged by a single physician on a daily basis.

That one seemingly exaggerated statement makes me wonder how much else he might have embellished.

Seriously. Why be anonymous? If you're going to put something like this out there, put a name to it.

Possibly Touro Infirmary. Appears to be the only hospital in the New Orleans area with 22 ICU beds.
