re: Hospitals tell doctors they’ll be fired if they speak about lack of gear

Let us not forget how that last whistle blower worked out for America
The best and the worst of us rise up in a crisis. We are seeing plenty of both.
Here we have a bunch of ATL medical persons flying to help in NYC. The best of us
Then we have others looking for their 15 mins of fame. We know there are shortages, because nobody saw this coming. Maybe you have a magic wand you can wave and make it all appear. If not, maybe we should all wait and let America do our thing and get the supplies rolling.
While we are here though

If I were a doctor there I'd immediately speak out about it and call an attorney the minute I was fired.
What's the problem with this?
Employee talks bad about employer and gets fired. Guess it depends on the state. In Alabama this firing could happen all day every day.

Yes because doctors disappear when they get fired. They get murdered by our government and never heard from again. Great comparison.

These hospital administrations need to face to criminal charges. Trying to silence people during a crisis is utter betrayal of society. Have mother frickers learned by now that cover-ups are a stupid idea? How many times do we need go through this exercise.

I work for a large healthcare company that directed me to never answer questions about all of this as well.

Firing doctors in the middle of a national crisis. Yup, that sounds like a great plan.

Yeah all these posts from nurses on Instagram with a picture or video of them crying with a long paragraph written out about their job being hard. Give me a break. Stop trying to get likes and become famous and do your job. If I get sick I hope I have nurses who are mentally stable working on me.

If your kind of thinking was acted on we'd all still be eating lead paint and breathing asbestos.

I understand the need to bring attention to this, but I also understand why hospitals are doing this. If my company told me to not speak about something, unless it violated my own code of ethics, I will get back to work and let the powers that be worry about it and just hope they can get resources for us.

There was another thread where medical personal are having hours reduced and of course abortion doctors are being ordered to still provide abortions.
We do not have a lack of medical persons in this country, we just probably need to redistribute to the hot spots.

you sure?
I'm not sure people will be lining up to work in an overcrowded hospital filled with an infectious disease when the hospital has proven they won't provide you with the protective equipment you need. And then if you complain they'll terminate you.
The only people signing up for that are unqualified or stupid.

Threats are being made in Baton Rouge hospitals at this time. Physicians and nurses are being ordered not to wear even surgical masks unless they are in very specific situations. However, in a hospital setting, every situation is a potential infection situation.
It is happening everywhere. This is nothing new. The scope of the situation is what is new. Hospitals want you to feel that you have a say and have input, but when they start using words like "negative comments" your gallows are being built. So it is time to shut up.

Only one I see being dramatic here is you. It's a legit issue. But then you wouldn't know, would you? It's not as if you're actually doing the job.

Medical professionals routinely go into hotspots for dangerous diseases. It's part of what the signed up for.
To be honest, if a medical professional is avoiding the areas that need care the most, we shouldn't want them in that particular field.

Negative sir. Nurses being told to stay home are nurses who are pre op for OP surgery, or elective testing and radiology nurses. Then your post op nurses, NOT PACU but recovery. Pre admit testing nurses. You can't put those nurses in critical care areas.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of desperate people that will do it too. Being broke is a powerful motivator. And as medicine has been more and more consolidated into massive health systems, if you get fired from one hospital, you're fired from ALL the hospitals in their system.

Agreed, and they routinely use masks and various PPE's. It's what the hospital signed up to provide
