So true. Even though it’s all just manufactured fear-mongering aimed at normies, all the corporate media outlets think they have to constantly cover it.
The thread with the post in full (so’s y’all don’t have to go to that bird site):
So much truth in this one graphic.
True story, on a recent shift, I had to run and help a patient who had collapsed on our waiting room floor, short of breath. Hypoxemic. The family was diligent, and tested before coming, and lo-and-behold, they were positive. With some help, got her on a stretcher, I rolled her the acute zone myself, and we got to work stabilizing her. Triple vaccinated, in late middle age, no serious medical conditions, and this thing still got them sick enough to come to us. Another anecdote, right in the middle of summer when these things are not supposed to happen, where I can only say to myself, “what a curse on humankind this virus is”“Shouldn’t she be in an isolation room?” someone asked.
Good question.
“What’s the point. Isn’t our hospital mask mandate ending soon?” someone else said.
Ah, now we get to the point.If we were actually following the science, we would have screened her to a separate zone, away from the other patients in the waiting room. She could have infected any number of children, chemo patients, pregnant patients. Instead, we and every patient are now expected to make our own decisions on how to protect ourselves. You could roll into a cancer clinic and cough on every single patient in the waiting room, and not violate policy now.
While many are eager, even celebrating the end of mask requirements in our hospital, they still don’t want to be anywhere near an infected patient outside of an isolation room, of course.
I don’t get it.
Now I’m not about to go on some hopeless career-ending crusade to fight this, when most people don’t even want to think about it anymore… people have moved on, and that is that, I’m repeatedly told.
… but it is profoundly sad to see all the preventable suffering around you, to personally see the public get sicker over time, to see the young people with inexplicable blood clots and strokes, to see the life expectancy numbers continue to plummet, knowing that the only people who will come out of these troubled times relatively unscathed are the tiny minority who are wealthy, well-informed or well-connected.
It is, sadly, almost a certainty that I’ll be seeing more patients like the poor woman I had to lift off the floor that night.
