On thier Facebook page in a response to question about today’s numbers
“Question: are these only covid illnesses? OR are they sick patients who are COVID positive?”
Baton Rouge General Medical Center “only Covid-related illnesses. “

I just don’t see why y’all think the local hospital is in on some government scheme to lie to us all.

It’s all about the Federal dollars they’re getting.

Yes, because hospitals don’t get or rely on federal funds. Nor are they at all political pawns. No siree, no one running them, regulating them, or working for them has any political Ties whatsoever. They’re just
Houses of healing. Pure as the driven snow.

I dont work for the General, so cant definitively say they are lying, but that is not how we report our numbers and honestly it seems like a fricking mess trying to break it out like that

Do you think the covid reimbursements they get, are anywhere near the cashcow elective surgeries are? They are having to cancel the elective surgeries to make shite tons less dealing with covid.
They want you to get the vaccine, not because they are part of a government plan to take over the world, but because they are greedy and want to get back to doing easy procedures that make them more money.
In the case of the General they are barely making it fiscally. If a covid wave had the same impact as the 2020 wave they would probably fold.

Is part of OLOL's budget subsidized now that Earl K Long is no longer? Believe I remember hearing this somewhere years ago....If so, this is your answer. They will be fed info for the top (JBE) down.
Br General is a not for profit organization so they have nothing to prove/hide with their numbers. Hints the reason the head of BRG NOT making it mandatory his staff get the vaccination even tho other area hospitals have made this move.

So, they are faking their numbers, as is every other hospital out there that relies off govt $? Surely by now someone would have caught this if it was that serious.

quote:Not faking them. It isn't a lie to put covid on a death certificate if someone died from a heart attach but was covid positive. We know in most cases covid didn't kill the person, but they had covid so it is a covid death. They get paid more for that so why not continue to get paid more?
