Hadley Hitson, Montgomery Advertiser Fri, September 10, 2021, 6:30 PM·1 min read The family of a man who died of heart issues in Mississippi is asking people to get vaccinated for COVID-19 after 43 hospitals across three states were unable to accept him because of full cardiac ICUs.
Ray Martin DeMonia died last week in Meridian, Mississippi. He was three days shy of his 74th birthday and a well-known native in Cullman, Alabama, his family said.
DeMonia suffered from a cardiac event, and emergency staff at Cullman Regional Medical Center had to bring him to the nearest available bed, which was nearly 200 miles away at a Mississippi hospital.

Probably BS which will be debunked in a week or so without any fanfare.
Bull. They are not going to turn away an emergency patient because there is no ICU available. He is taken to the emergency room first. After he is treated he is put in an ICU. If there is no room in the hospital, he would be transferred to a hospital with space. He is not going to be denied treatment because there are no ICU beds available.
I say BS. In the middle of the Wuhan virus scam Jul-Aug 2020 I was in the hospital through the emergency room and had a stent and heart valve replacement done. Most of the ICU rooms were for accident and emergency procedures although they would test for Wuhan every day.
More likely full of vaccinated people.
I have to calls B. S. on this for two reasons.
Full disclosure, I live in this area.
1st thing, there are at least two hospitals in the area, possibly 4 that are not full, as of the least briefing.
2nd, this area is has a tried to mandate covington shots ands there are a high level percentage of health care works that are not getting vaccinated. I do not know if the hospitals followed through on it but they threatened to fire me people if they did not. Additionally, this area has had a chronic nursing shortage for years. Unfortunately, I spent a fair amount amount of time in a couple of hospitals in the area, and easily, 75% of technology and nursing assistants are black. The last I heard at least 1/3 of black people are refusing to get vaccinated. Any alleged icu shortages are caused mostly by staffing shortages.
Every day I’m convinced that we are in a ‘Twilight Zone’, and it’s a replay of “Malaysia Airlines Flight 370”!
Welcome aboard Ladies and Gentlemen! Your Pilot today is Joseph Biden.
Well, there’s a simple solution to this, hospitals. Quit firing your staff for not taking the COVID vaccine, and you’ll have enough people to keep your freaking ICUs open. It ain’t rocket surgery.

Prove this. This is BS
He looks like the same who could not find a hospital a few days ago in Idaho or Iowa, called 23 hospitals and he died also.
Sorry. I forgot the sarc tag, and you’re probably right.
I thought the same thing. This is BS.
The beds exist the personnel to staff the beds does not exist.
If the ratios are off they remove the beds.
Expect us to intensify rapidly this winter. I predict hundreds of thousands of people will die because there will not be enough medical staff
I had a distant relative with covid that was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Alabama a few weeks ago. He was told they just didn’t have the personnel to take care of him. He was sent home. He died the next day. He was in his mid-60s.
Well they might want to manage their hospitals better. Treat Covid patients before they get on ventilators and if not just set up ventilator farms for the covids and treat the other emergencies like normal. seems to me from when i was in hospitals every rooms got the stuff to put a heart monditor and ventilator in it. maybe switch out the knee replacement branch for the actual sick people.
I think horses have a distict smell from my limited experience. I once chatted with a gal who worked in France. In the rural area she worked they had horse meat once a week. I asked her how it tasted, She said “just like it smells.”
One might add this....if you are running a hospital with only 60-percent of nurse positions filled...you probably aren’t making any level of income to sustain your business model. If this trend holds...go expect forty-odd hospitals in the state to declare a business emergency by Thanksgiving.
No need for /s. I got your sarcasm just fine, and found it extremely funny, given the horse$hit the media has been running on Ivermectin.
My wife and I got COVID a couple weeks ago. We’ve stayed out of the hospital through responsible self-treatments including ivermectin, HCQ, NAC, D, C, etc. Her SpO2 was most 93-94. Mine stayed at 97. I even maintained 10,000 steps a day, and biked 25 miles Labor Day, although at an all-time slowest pace.
An irresponsible super-spreader infected the whole department where my wife worked. Some are in the hospital/ICU because they just know what they’re told.
46. What about active military hospitals (including on bases), VA hospitals/ centers, and walk-in treatment centers? Many are located close to regular hospitals so they could get emergency help ASAP. Also fire-stations are usually nearby and have basic equipment for stabilizing a person’s condition. We have had personal experiences with this.
