I recently retired from a 46 year career in medicine. I worked in a lot of ER’s, both urban and rural. In the past 10 years they all became “immediate” care centers for people on Medicaid, homeless drug-addled bums, and illegals. I quit working ER’s and went back to Family Practice. I have no desire to ever work an ER again even though I loved it when it was “real” emergencies.

“I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation—to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!”

Seems like they forgot the Hippocratic Oath!

Blue cities dying doesn't mean that all democrats will flee to red states like Florida or Texas. Florida moved from slightly blue to purple and now to deep red, all while receiving huge numbers from NY and Michigan and Illinois and even from California.

The blue cities will get bluer as the republicans leave them and liberals remain behind. Most liberals would not know how to handle themselves in the red states, so, they have to remain where the grass is bluer in their cities and states. Getting bluer means dying cities and states. We can see that right now with the decaying law enforcement and decaying business environments and decaying infrastructure.

“they could call her w/blood test results and then she could go to her doctor.”

Or send her home to get the test results on her computer or smartphone.

3 Years ago, I had some scans, and they did a urine test and blood tests.

On the 30 minute drive home, my wife’s cell phone got an all clear on all tests, and they had an appt., the next day for me to have an aorta stent put in. The stent was installed the next day, and I was heading home after lunch.

On the way home, my wife’s cell phone got a call re me having a cystoscope 2 mornings later. My wife confirmed the appt. and 2 days later post cysto, I was sent home with my wife driving.

because if you leave without discharge orders you are liable for the bill if it is a medicare patient. However one can push for discharge

While NYC legal thugs are plotting to serve a warrant against President Trump, their hospitals have become 3rd world dangerous hell holes.

EXCLUSIVE: 24 hours of HELL in top NYC hospital: Patients left lying in hallways, urine soaked floors and staff incapable of providing answers for desperate family members - as city’s healthcare system is stretched to breaking point

A woman rushed her mother to the Mount Sinai Hospital on Madison Avenue on March 8 because she suspected the 67-year-old was having a stroke

This was ruled out within 10 minutes - but then a nightmarish day for the cancer sufferer and her daughter began as they were left waiting in limbo at the ER

‘Every corner was filled with people,’ she said, describing trash littering the floor, urine pots kicked over and homeless people seeking treatment left ignored

Twenty-four hours of hell in one of New York’s top hospitals have been laid bare with pictures showing patients lying in hallways, urine soaking the floor and staff incapable of providing answers.

A woman who asked not to be named told DailyMail.com that she rushed her mother to the Mount Sinai Hospital on Madison Avenue on March 8 because she suspected the 67-year-old was having a stroke.

This was ruled out by a CAT scan carried out within 10 minutes. But then a nightmarish day for the cancer sufferer and her daughter began as they were left waiting in the ER ward in limbo, desperate to find out what was wrong.

‘Every corner was filled with people,’ she said, describing trash littering the floor, urine pots used by male patients kicked over and homeless people seeking treatment but totally ignored by staff.

It comes amid patient backlogs and staffing shortages after the pandemic that have stretched New York hospitals to breaking point and sparked strikes by nurses.

‘that would beat hanging out in an ER for sure.’

It sure does, and a lot less chance of catching a Virus or Bacteria with hair on its chest while waiting around in hospital waiting rooms or an ER.

However, some Freepers and Friends don’t want to do things like I and my wife do/did to get treatment.

You absolutely can sign out AMA. However certain insurances and Medicare plans won’t pay for the visit if you do.

Usually you can tell the people you want to discharge and they will get your paperwork together Pronto. But you do have to let them know you want to go.
