re: Trump should get the FEMA director the hell out of bed, to get supplies to this ER Nurse

Well, maybe data would be useful, but question still stands what's the survival rate of these people put on vents with this. I mean I wouldn't like my chances with a vent without a respiratory infection let alone with one.

So, we have everyone crying about vents, should have plenty of data by now.

Lol.

No excuse for this shite.

No there isn't. Nor is there competent reporting of it to determine actual cause and/or culpability.

Just as was the case of ventilators backed up in a NY warehouse when hospitals desperately needed them, this has all appearance of a local breakdown.

Why?

Because if the Hospital Administration was doing its job, it would be them, the facility administration/logisticians, in that video. Not an RN. Why are you not seeing the Hospital President with his VP in charge of procurement on camera pleading their case?

If you were President of a facility, and had done your job, but with no response at state or federal levels, and it was putting the lives of your staff and/or patients on the line, would you cover it up. leaving one of your workers to blow the whistle?
THINK PEOPLE!

When you see stories of shortages coming from the direct care level, but without associated administrative OTR statements, inevitably one of two things is happening: (1) a fake or contrived narrative, as was apparently the case in the Mount Sinai Hospital garbage bag PPE story, or (2) local/regional administrative incompetence with frontline workers being told to "suck it up," while Admin covers their asses with blame transference schemes.

Sorry, I've seen it way too many times.

Reminds me of this I read on Facebook

Nurses are way whinier than teachers.

Lovely.

So while you hunker down in isolation, those "whiny" RNs are coming in contact with dozens of CV19+ patients each day. Then they are returning home to their family. If they are being denied PPE in the process and instead being told that "putting yourself and your family at risk is part of the job," you think it's "whiny" to bring that up?

If you were told to ignore stay-at-home orders, return to work, and oh btw, there will be CV19+ people among the staff. Would you be a "whiner" if you complained?

I watched it and what do you want me to say? That’ she’s brave?
Do you realize how many people have put their lives on the the line throughout history, and neither sought attention nor had a video platform to tell of their heroic tales.
How many soldiers do you think were on the actual front lines and even died throughout history? How many lost limbs, saw fellow soldiers die or got maimed and never sought the spotlight, but instead shunned it?
What’s her end goal?

Great post.

And the ER Nurse in the OP vid knows what is going on. *These supplies are being stolen and hoarded. Anyone associated with that shite should do a very long stretch in a maximum security prison.

And if a few of them got shot thru the skull resisting arrest (or some such thing), I'd be good with that, too.

*And probably sold on the black market for 5 times their value.
