If we treated people with covid the moment they showed symptoms, they wouldn't end up in the hospital.
If you've had covid like I have, you know the protocol is "go home and drink water. Hope you make it"
For the virus that shut down the world we do... Nothing.
That's fricked.

This exactly!!! Now if we can just stop idiots from showing up in the ER at 2am with a congestion we could limit the outbreak! Too bad half the population is dumb as frick! They come in and sit right next to positive covid patients.

I work 7 on 7 off at night in a hospital and we went from having only a few inpatients with covid when I got off a week ago to no more rooms available and having to use the ER to house ICU patients. Buckle up because I don’t see it getting better any time soon.
Let me add that our hospital isn’t very big. But it also has been very quiet of covid up until just recently. It literally just exploded with new cases.
Same. I’m in Alabama fwiw and we have the lowest vaccination rate in the country.

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

So what do we do with other people that come into the ER that need a room???? People that don’t do what we do will never understand this. Even if the virus has a high survival rate which it does. It’s still gonna cause havoc one way or another. Good luck if you have a family member that needs to be admitted for something other than covid.

Are you wearing a gown & gloves while mopping, or just a mask?

Man it’s so frustrating. The latest surge in covid has made our bed situation even worse than it was before, again mainly compounded by a floor nurse shortage. At any given time I’m working with like 1-3 open beds in a nearly 30 bed ER. I’m admitting patients from the waiting room and then those people go to the next available ER bed. People are staying days, literally their whole hospital stay, in the ER. It’s sucks for patients and sucks for the people providing care.
ETA: I ran my last code in the hall until we could pull a non critical patient out of our resus room.

I'm seeing charts that were posted on here that say otherwise. This should pass rather quickly.

ERs in LA give bullshite numbers
99% of your patients are coming in for regular checkups because the state pays for it. They complain of “COVID symptoms” which can be the common cold and the hospital YEPS that all the way to maximum reimbursement
I really wish people would get their heads out their own asses
