People in AZ. say hospitals overrun with immigrants.

Comments about Dr. Mark Sannes on healthgrades.com:

“Dr. Sannes simply isn’t knowledgable and gets defensive when you ask him basic questions. Very stressful and no help.”

“Really not the level of experience that I have come to expect at Park Nicollet.”

“Too rushed and his guidance was not helpful.”

“Dr. Sannes is inept. Apparently no one told him that the domineering physician attitude of the 1950s is no longer appropriate. See his credentials - not impressive. Unjustified ego. Many other good options. Avoid!”

I wouldn’t trust anything that this guy has to say about the matter. I read the original article:

and almost everything in it was from Dr. Sannes. It appears that this reporter just phoned it in.

Winter.

Exercise, lose weight, get outside and focus on keeping your family healthy financially, spiritually, and physically.

Except they are firing people for not getting vaxxed.

They have had two years to prepare. Two years to expand capacity. Two years to add personnel.

And two years to lay in a good supply of Ivermectin and Zinc.

Isn’t Minnesota very masky and vaxxy?

Per the article: “While some people who are fully vaccinated have been hospitalized, most people with severe illness are those who have not received a vaccine.”

People up here in Minneapolis are addicted to Covid fear porn. They can’t get enough of the fear. No mention that 20 to 30% of the nursing staff have lost their jobs. Just today, the newspaper noted that a high percent of patients are already vaccinated.

Why report this ... it is from the AP, which is not a reliable source for news.

“We need to lockdown again so we can mandate vote by mail to save Brandon and his witch”

[mewzilla]

Or are nosocomial infections spread by infected vaxxed employees the problem....

[EEGator]

I learned a word.

[Socon-Econ]

Give us the names of all who have supposedly been denied care; otherwise quit the fearmongering.

There’s money in sick people FRiend. Lots of money in sick people.

"The only thing I'm actually sorta good at is referrals. You know that thing where doctors send patients to other doctors. Well, I'm the king of referrals. What I do is I call the, uh, the sick person into my office, and I stare for a long time really seriously at this blank sheet of paper. Then I say, "Hmmm. I'd like you to see someone. He's a specialist in this area." (laughs) There are specialists who have their whole career based on my referrals. I am the cornerstone of a medical empire."

"(sighs) Well, I really should be going. I've gotta tell the family that the patient didn't make it - hardest part of being a doctor...I think!"

My good friend is an RN in the metro of MN. It’s not a lack of beds. It’s a lack of staff. They are burnt out, some don’t want the shot and a lot of people retired early rather than getting the shot.

[mplsconservative]

Not in my neck of the woods. Metro Mpls./St. Paul is very masky vaxxy but not where common sense people live.

That’s why we left that hell hole 17 years ago.
