Hospital Beds - Baton Rouge -

OLOL contracts 988 beds in BR. This include Children's hospital and Lake at Ascension. 633 beds occupied as of this AM. Check for yourself 225-765-6651 (but but but the hospitals are full and overflowing...)
Info you will not get from the phone call, Of the 60+ patients admitted at childrens, there are ~10 with covid. 2 admitted for covid pneumonia on their medicine floor, lowest acuity. The rest are being treated for completely unrelated illnesses. Every patient is swabbed multiple times...
If anyone has a similar way to verify Oschner , BR General, etc please post. Anyone with 1st hand knowledge of details about inpatient cases, please post.
How many covid cases, which ones are admitted for covid pneumonia, which ones are being treated for unrelated illness, etc

/\ THAT /\ right there identifies you as an insurrectionist, irrational, white supremacist, hate-filled, bigoted, anti-science, low-life, murdering scum.
You are obviously not compassionate for the poor victims of Trump's dictatorial terror-ridden regime.
You just cannot DO THAT in this long march toward utopia.

All 125 patients we have admitted that have tested positive for Covid we are treating have bilateral pneumonia. That’s why they’re admitted. Only 9 are vaccinated. Most are in 40’s and 50’s.

The hospitals only count the number of beds they staff, not the total beds they have. That's the scam!
The government tells them they have to have a certain number of nurses for certain number of beds they open. Let's say for example 1 nurse for every four beds. So with staffing shortages, some hospitals will keep entire floors closed because they don't have enough nurses and doctors to staff them. So they don't count them in their numbers as available beds.

Would be nice for the public to know how many of those 116 had Covid in the 3 preceding waves and had natural antibodies. But alas, we'll never get that level of transparency in these "data" dumps.

My dad was at the OLOL 5 weeks ago. Just to take a break from sitting around I went for a walk in the hospital. I went to the third floor. It looked abandoned. No one was around.
I soon realized it was the former children's ward. (They recently opened a new children's hospital across the street.) But the point is, there's a whole floor with vacant rooms.

This zero beds news is being pushed in Dallas too.
Not sure how to find the true info/reasons, but seem like we should have been better prepped for it.
Also, would be nice to figure how many are illegals that have been shipped to places like Dallas and LA cities.

When they say “no beds”, it means “no staffing to cover the beds”.
If they don’t have enough staffing to cover the beds, then threatening to fire people en masse for not doing something is counter-productive, now isn’t it?

But eurocrap says they are using overflow tents in the parking lots because they have so many unvaxxed bodies piling up.

They just lost my mother in law for that reason. Their decisions are not helping. I refuse to listen to a damn word from anyone in healthcare system management as long as they plan to turn away competent help.

So they probably need a pneumonia vaccine

I think what healthcare providers really mean when they say hospitals are full and overflowing is that they actually have to work and can’t make tiktoks.

That’s kind of important, don’t you think? Covid requires more staff dedicated to the unit. They can’t staff all that real estate for Covid. Therein lies the capacity issue.
That and the fact that all the hospitals are running low on oxygen.

I am in the business of documenting and fixing hospital census... Hopitals are ALWAYS full and this is actually a lower than normal census for the FMOL System.. Another problem is hospitals don't always run all the beds they are licensed for to create revenue by subtraction, then scream "full census". The chicken Littles get on social media and stir the uninformed up. Social media is a perfect tool for drama queens and the left(one in the same)

It is important; however, the industry obfuscates that detail on purpose. Healthcare is a business. Altruism is not the business model. By talking about staffing shortages, they risk a deeper analysis of the cause of the shortages.
A significant percentage of nurses leave the profession within a few years of starting because of working conditions/organizational culture. Similar to workforce shortages in other sectors, the workers exist or will materialize when the wage and other benefits reach or exceed balance in the utility equation.

Having insufficient staff and threatening to fire people en masse then claiming hardship is like a child killing their parents and then asking for mercy because they are an orphan.
OLOL et all haven’t been able to keep staffed for years and their own bullshite surrounding Covid is making the situation worse. Not a surge of Covid patients, the system’s own handling of Covid.

Yep.. How many of these bodies are in these "full" beds?? I would bet the number would be shocking.
