I have been working in healthcare for nearly 35 years, and I was surprised last year to find out that state “ventilator stockpiles” were a thing.
I had no idea. It made me wonder what other kinds of things are stockpiled by states that rot and molder in “Raiders of The Lost Ark” kinds of warehouses...
No kidding. I have been in for 20 years and didn’t realize there were stockpiles either. But I suppose it makes sense.
