My sister is an RN in cardiovascular and I wrote her religious exemption for her today. They’ll either accept it or fire her Dec 1

She said it is pressure coming from Medicare/Medicaid

they were all under approved religious exemptions that we reversed. Who made that call needs to be answering some questions on why.


This is a very important part of that story that is tucked in at the end.

These people thought they had exemptions and the exemptions were yanked.

serving 70,000 patients a year. That is a very busy ER.

They said the "main" hospital on the area is five miles away. I wonder how many patients they're seeing in a year? Probably won't be able to handle the additional 70k.

There is a federal court hearing Dec 1st to see if the mandate holds up. If not my wife will have a 20yr nursing career end abruptly. Already setting up her OF account. She has pretty feet

You drop the mandate the immediate second you lose adequate ER staff, and then you offer raises if necessary. The Healthcare Industry's recent spotlight has ran it's course about a hundred times.

This opens the door for government control. They want chaos and humanitarian support shortages. It’s planned and purposeful.

Long Beach is more of a summer community and the hospital is not the place that treats serious cases. It's more for summer beach twisted ankles and fish hools in soles etc. It looks like one of those "walk in and see a doc" places. - This is a picture of the place shut down. Never seen anything like this called a "hospital" -



Mount Sinai has a much larger hospital in Oceanside which is four miles away (the town is four miles away, not sure of the exact hospital distance).

This is not as big of a deal as its being made to be.

Prediction; What you just said will be used time and time and time again as more and more shortages happen.

The local newscasters in the video were saying the community is now without an ER. An ER does not just take minor scrapes. You can't tell anything from that picture, it's just part of a building

I'm sure you are right and we can talk about those instances when they come up. I just wanted to note the actual situation here. People have to travel an extra four miles. There are rural communities where hospitals are not 4 but 40 miles away.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have wanted to close this place for a long time anyway and are using this as an excuse. Watch it become a Northwell Health or CityMD walk in place. Heck when I drove by that is what I always thought it was!

From another angle here is the rest of the building.

I've seen Applebees that are larger.

Fair post.

If that news outlet was right, though, I don't see how a place having 70k patients a year shutting down (the ER is what they said), can do anything but wreak more havoc on the other hospitals in the area.
