Covid talk here is OOC but on the topic, I had to admit my elderly mother with severe RA yesterday due to some extra pain mgt. So, here in NETx, the ambulance service had to reroute her to a small hospital in a pretty rural burg as both Longview and Tyler hospital's ER's and patient beds were at capacity. Pretty shocked by that I must say. The staff where I'm at now doesn't know what to think.

I’m admitting patients (covid or otherwise) from the waiting room at this point.

The main reasons for this are, in order of effect:

1. Nursing shortage/not hiring or paying enough for floor nurses
2. Incompetent hospital admin






3. Surge in Covid patients in the lowest vaxx’d state
