What hospital bed shortage?

[Mac-7]

Delays in treatment..lack of supplies, unforeseen logistical issues--such as weather and traffic--all heighten the risks.

But not impossible to overcome

libs expect smooth sailing on all their voyages and have forgotten how to overcome adversity

Welp, your example failed.

Still, lobby ANY and ALL Hospital Admins for more nursing staff. (Only convenient if in YOUR neck of the woods, of course)

OBVIOUSLY - if you complain about Leonard hospital in Albany - many will believe it's close to home for you.

Welp? WTF kid of made-up word is that? Try learning English before you post again! I hate stupid!

Welp, seems as if someone missed 'the message board lingo' class.

or

Welp is in the dictionary. Look it up!

You were talking about reloacting patients...explain....you want to send patients out of state or from one hospital system to another?

Why not?

Delays in treatment..lack of supplies, unforeseen logistical issues--such as weather and traffic--all heighten the risks.

A case in point is Kootenai Medical Center in Coeur d'Alene ID. Because of the Covid cases taking up so much room...non-Covid heart attacks are being routed to Spokane Wa hospitals. Some have died. Now, maybe they would have passed anyway..a heart attack is no joke. But that 20 minutes in transport....sure didn't help any.

It is, perhaps ironically, the middle of the country that is having the most problems. The raw numbers are lower..but the percentages of hospital intensive care beds used are highest.

Not all hospital beds are equal--and the number of both ventilators and of staff are finite.

supplies like what?

For one thing, the support systems in place for patients will be much different in another state. For another, not all insurance is good in every state or even every market.

support systems in place for patients

All that life support machinery they hook up gets in the way of itself and somebody's got a living will or advanced health care directive pulling the plug because “family” wants “closure” etc.

You're right...every hospital everywhere is lying to make Trump look bad. Diabolicial

Why not address the facts that healthmyths presented?

it does not look like a hospital bed crisis based on the actual numbers

I agree...every hospital everywhere...red state, blue state, purple state, is lying about the hospital bed crisis to make the blob look bad.

Just like any one that reports bad news everywhere, anytime,...its all about making the blob look bad.

There is no bad news...it's all made up to make the mango moron look bad.

RIght?

They aren't lying. They're telling the truth, and that shows that there is no shortage of hospital beds.

And you probably think all hospital beds are interchangeable...that the orthopedic wing can have covid patients, pediatric floors are fine--just roll in Gramps and his respirator.

Its really disgusting how little you know.

SoooOoOoo fucking stupid? Leonard hospital in Albany isn't full because there's ten open beds in a different state or in a county 200 miles away?

What a sick lack of humanity. I've BEEN in a hospital with Nurses crying their eyes out out in the break lounge because they're INUNDATED.

and that's magically not true because some old, kooky addled partisan on the internet say so mmm kayyy

“Nonfederal psychiatric hospitals”

That word “nonfederal” means that those doctors are inveterate oathbreakers.

Ancient Greek Medicine

www.nlm.nih.gov

The word “federal” technically refers to the oath of “all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States ... bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

Right?

well yes, you can't prove the number of beds occupied. Let's start there. feel free to submit some actual data. The data from our side Health dude posted. feel free to debate actual numbers. Right?

Most states should be able to make needed beds available within the state

it seems that democrat governors are the most inert and unimaginative diaster first responders in history
