“... 40 hospitals stop elective surgeries...”
Connected insurance companies are ecstatic!
We had to make a trip to the ER this weekend. We never made it into the ER proper. The doctor came out and saw is in the waiting area, where he said, due to staffing, they couldn't get her into a bed or the hospital could be shut down.
Sex change operations aren’t elective, are they?
Exactly. They are conflating “low bed capacity” with “low staffed bed capacity.” So far, they can’t put patients in beds where there are no staff to attend to them.
You don’t say.
We lost a bunch of hospital staff due to NYS mandate BS even before the vaccine mandates. The booster mandate will finish us off. Hochul will do to health care in NY what DeBlasio did to NYC
Hiya Kearny, Happy New Year. I work at Community Medical in Tom’s River. I don’t know if any of the nursing staff was laid off though.
But the hospital has gone back to elective surgery and same day procedures. Been like that for over a year now.
Hi, how’s things?
Oh, I’m sure the hospital is much more “normal” now - any time I’ve been in central Jersey people seem much less preoccupied with COVID (far fewer masks than up here).
I just recalled the story from around the fall of 2020 when hospitals “down the shore” were laying off staff because they were idle - some may have even been on loan up here.
And it’ll stay low until NYS does what Canada is doing and brings in cheap, less well trained foreign labor to make up the numbers.
I’ll bet the rate of medical mistakes are through the roof in NYS.
Not that our legislature gives a damn.
“pshaw”
You’re out here in CA, but you have southern roots.
My grandfather from “Missourah” used that term.
Yes I do. I attribute my old school formal politeness as Midwest/southern.
