I wish you were a little closer to us. I was on the phone all night last night trying to find a bed for a non-covid patient. We have never had to call different states, from last night I know there are no ICU or step down beds in Oklahoma, Kansas or Arkansas. Finally got smart and started calling northeast. Had to fly patient fixed wing to the other side of the state.
Talked to one guy in Oklahoma who was also trying to get beds - he said they were having luck in Denver and Albequerque but since it was out of state, the transport companies were requiring a $10,000 deposit up front to fly people out of state.
I’m all for don’t believe the media, sadly don’t believe our own government but I know first hand it’s crazier than before when we were in this situation. Don’t hear about as many deaths tho so I guess that’s a blessing.
In COVID ravaged Florida, the average is less than 20%.
Something else besides COVID is obviously going on in these overwhelmed ICUs.
Do you have any insight on this?
Thanks.
