Made me laugh but pitiful at the same time. Quit trying to make things worse than they are. The bottom is getting ready to fall out of your end of the world story...not our healthcare system.
What the frick is your agenda? Aside from the obvious of downplaying this thing.

If you test positive, depending on symptoms they’ll send you home right?? It’s not like you’re positive, get to the hospital is it?

Come on down to Canal St. homie. No one is saying the world is ending but if you think it’s no big deal and it’s all fake news i invite you to come shadow me tomorrow morning. My shift starts at 9 tomorrow but business really picks up after 11.

You get sent home to self quarantine and watch to see if your symptoms worsen.

So here’s hoping that those tested and are positive aren’t severe cases and don’t require your medical services!!

Capacity is at it's usual percentage although the ED has had a good number of potential coronavirus patients but luckily none of them have tested positive
N-95 masks are being heavily regulated although everyone in the ED is basically being required to wear a mask. Any patient or visitor that comes through the ED has to get their temperature checked and is given a mask
All other entrances have someone giving out tempatrue checks along with a security guard.

The poster is giving his opinion of the current state of this event based on what they observed. That was the intent of this thread, sorry if you can’t deal with opinions that differ from your own. I also have a lot of contacts in hospitals in many areas, some are working at their limit, but most are still business as usual.

P.S. Y’all stop buying all the damn toilet paper.
What's this y'all shite? I'm a responsible functioning adult and run my household with a sizable supply of everything built up slowly over time. I don't need TP for nine months.
Which is good news because I'm gonna need to sell something to make sure I can still retire when I plan to.

Nah. That’s not what he did. He mockingly told people they were being dramatic as if one situation is exactly like another.

You already knew though, right? This just further highlights it.

I’ve read some of your posts tonight. You sound drunk.

Serious question:
Say ICU goes on overload. Can’t med/surg manage people on vents?
Once a vent is set up, can’t non ICU people manage it in a crisis?
It’s not ideal, but it would keep people alive in overload.

A Med-Surg nurse is not an ICU nurse. A step-down nurse can handle a trached patient on a vent but not a newly intubated patient on Peep and acutely ill. They are not the same type of nurses.

Patient ratio is an issue to start. Ideally, ICU ratio is 2 patients to 1 nurse. A floor nurse ratio can be as bad as 8:1. (And yes, that's absolutely crazy and unsafe, but that's the state of healthcare currently.)
The experience is just completely different. Not that they can't do it. It's just not something they're used to on a daily basis. Monitoring vitals, getting ABG's, managing pressors, handling lines, that's just stuff that's different from their day to day. There are plenty of smart floor nurses that can do it if they had time and training.

It’s the calm before the storm. Right now the majority of patients that usually come in for BS are staying away. We designated a whole portion of the ED for only respiratory complaints to isolate them. They are also renovating a unit on the floor to add negative pressure rooms for all the potential COVID pts.

That is who they are tapping to do it. Trying to keep 1:1 in order to help.
