Long Island ER Temporarily Closes Due To Lack Of Nurses
The Patch ^ | 11/22/2021 | Jerry Barmash

Posted on 11/22/2021 7:04:02 PM PST by God luvs America

Breaking: The facility could be shut for at least four weeks in connection to the state's vaccine mandate. ONG BEACH, NY — The emergency department in Long Beach, operated by Mount Sinai South Nassau, is closing temporarily due to nursing staff shortages related to the state vaccine mandate, the hospital announced.

It will shutter as of 3 p.m. on Monday.

Patients in Long Beach in need of emergency care will be directed to the hospital's main campus in Oceanside.

An ambulance will be stationed around the clock at the Long Beach Emergency Department during the closure.

"We regret having to take this step but the safety of our patients is always our No. 1 priority," Adhi Sharma, President, said in a statement. "This will allow us to shift nursing staff to the Oceanside campus to ensure that we maintain adequate staffing at the Emergency Department at our main campus."

The closure will continue for up to four weeks and could be extended depending on staff availability.

"The New York State Department of Health's mandate is putting our residents at risk," Assemblywoman Melissa Miller wrote on Facebook. "They should be working with Mount Sinai South Nassau on a solution that does not involve the closure of a desperately needed emergency facility."

Now imagine if they didn’t call unjabbed nurses “plague rats” and fire them immediately after calling them “heroes” for working through the pandemic...

We’re a Vax-Only hospital.
Our hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:AM to 1:PM. Maybe.
Thanks for trusting us with your health.

What a crock.

“...safety of our patients is always our No. 1 priority”

So they will no longer be helping patients like they were doing before the dictatorship.
Evil idiots.

Well...commies won’t stop being commies because of a bio-weapon, even the wannabe kind. Uncommon sense tells me this hospital will diminish in services incrementally!

Maybe.... firing the nurses, who had probably already had “the mysterious virus of unknown origin” and so were naturally immune anyways was not the smartest idea?

And don't try to claim you "had no choice" or bleat "g-g-government mad-d-date".

That is a lie and you know it.

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion (lit: a working error) that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If you happen to need a bypass, we’ll do one artery a week until the job is finished. Winning!

State of N.Y. mandate...not a hospital decision:

So “How’s that no jab, no job working out for New York state”.

So you close an ER….

Well, I guess since they are not your patients yet, until they pass through the doors, it doesn’t matter what happens to them then. Right?

The problem is that the nurses do not accept the science.
