You doing night time carrier landings big fella?

I will say, that wearing some of the PPE can be exhausting. N95 masks for one...hopefully most of the people working with known cases, have hoods now and don’t have to wear those.

With all the talk about money...just fwi

Some er docs are on salary to the hospital and working way more hours for same base pay...just like people in corporations... when you have a big project the boss just expects the extra hours out of you cause you are on salary....also lots of travel docs ( I do not know travel nurses) are taking pay cuts so the hospital can use their pay cut to help offset lost revenue in the non critical areas....the travel docs are putting I insane hours so still making more this year....

But a lot of medical professionals making sacrifices to their lives to help us....

I mentioned this before but I almost lost my life during September of last year. The nurses at OLOL helped me with blood transfusions and medications. Many worked overnight 12 hour shifts. I thank all of the fine people who choose the health industry. It wasn’t fun being in ICU and receiving four units of blood but the nurses were kind and helped me feel comforted.

This place is a special kind of retarded some days. This is one of those days. Too many uneducated poliboard tards emerging from their poliboard hovel.

"Nurses unions are scum"? Never heard of such a thing. Where? Not one anti - nurses ranter here could work 1 10 hr shift in a virus treatment facility. There is a good reason why so many of La.'s 6000 deaths occurred in nursing homes vs hospitals. Care takers vs trained medical professionals.

Our docs all seem to be sub contractors here in Houston. They took paycuts from their companies when the hospitals told them it had to happen. They are contractors. Say "no" and they will find a group that will say "yes" eventually.

If the public knew how many Covid positive docs were on duty and symptomatic? Karens would march.
