Medical professionals routinely go into hotspots for dangerous diseases. It's part of what the signed up for.


Medical personnel who specifically signed up for that and are trained specifically to deal with it.

None of which is happening here. Not to mention, the people who "routinely go into hotspots" as you put it have the PPE they need for the job.

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


You made that dumb comparison, not me.

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


One of the anecdotes from this article is a nurse complaining that they got a standard surgery mask rather than a $70+ one.

Take the provided equipment and do your job rather than going to social media to complain about it.

I have 100 of the piss yellow masks in my glove box. They literally do nothing for kung flu.

My gf left work the other night because her hospital didn't order gloves.

Not backorder. They forgot.

So are hospitals expected to provide hazmat suits to every employee in the building now?

Merely proper PPE based on staff's interaction with infected people.

If you were in the army and they told you we're out of guns, here's a knife. Now go to war, what would you do?

Most companies have a standard policy that only authorized personnel should talk to the media. It’s grounds for being fired at almost any company. Maybe the doctors shouldn’t be idiots and break really obvious company policies

Our federal government, as verified by tweets from Pompeo, shipped to China on February 7, 17 tons, yes I said tons, of PPE. Of course that was when this was all a Democratic inspired hoax.

Now imagine you are a nurse or a doctor. Are you expected to not complain about a lack of PPE when the stuff is being shipped to China by your government and then they say they are not shipping clerks?

If you get sick and you happen to get one of those nurses that care about their health, tell them you'll wait it out.

He was fired because he was not authorized to speak on behalf of the hospital. The guy might have no idea what he was talking about.

Politicize a crisis through fear mongering, is what you meant to say instead of “speak of lack of gear”.

I guess you missed the part in your god-emperor's press conference the other day where he spent a good few minutes talking about all the body bags at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens.

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.


While I do not disagree with you, we have under-used nurses and doctors currently that meet the criteria you need.

It was kind of the point of the picture of the ATL medical teams flying to NYC. There are also several staff that meet the criteria needed and have transitioned out to less stressful roles in life. They have not forgot the job though.

You are right that it is pretty much standard policy anywhere. It's also bullshite, but that's beside the point.

More people should speak out like this doctor. Of course, most of the medical field does not have the financial resources many MD's have.

Don't worry, where you're at the local standard of health care involves the application of a few leeches and snake-dancing.

Part of me gets it. We’re in a state of national emergency. Hospitals are doing their best and don’t need people mouthing off to the media possibly making the situation even more difficult for publicity.

It’s hard to side too far against workers caught up in this though.
