Thanks a lot to the misguided anti-vax Republicans!
Seems a bit more complicated than that. If it were that simple, we probably could’ve fixed it by now.
I’m guessing there is a bit of a back log from the extensive shut down, a little lack of proactiveness to get new people hired and trained to take the place of all the resignations as well as terminations that occurred, the increased patient load due to the pandemic and a few more factors I’m failing to think of.
We are America! Let’s stop whining and let’s rise to the occasion!
Ryan, I disagree – those factors play a very minor role. Not sure what you mean by a backlog due to “the shut down”.
What backlog? There was a pause for elective surgeries, but we’re talking about ambulances being diverted because there is no room in the ER! Patients waiting on elective procedures are not sitting in an ER bed waiting for their turn.
It’s also absurd to say the hospitals have been slow to hire new people since that’s been a problem nationwide in many industries. It’s a bigger problem in health care because so many of the HC workers are getting a (mild) case of Covid so they have to be sidelined – and they are getting it from the patients who are in the hospital since they didn’t get vaccinated. The vaccinated do catch Covid too, but their symptoms almost never require hospitalization.
And I have to laugh at your final exhortation: “We are America! Let’s stop whining and let’s rise to the occasion!” The sane among us have been preaching that for months on end to those who won’t listen. This current ER crisis is 100% due to those who refuse to get vaccinated.
Of course if they hadn’t fired a bunch of staff for refusing the jab they would have greater capacity? Who fires trained medical staff in the middle of a “pandemic”? No one. Think people
Very very few people were fired. They are logical, intelligent, health care professionals and about 99% got the vaccine. In any event, being short-staffed as zero impact on how many beds are occupied by Covid patients, the vast majority of whom refused the shot.
