ramssuperbowl99 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 6 minutes ago, JDBrocks said: Precisely. My wife's hospital had 16 vents for ~200 beds. She jumped up and down early last week and was able to get them to rent 10 more. All are currently in use now, and roughly 25% of the beds have have CV patients. Her unit is full, and today they are converting the PACU into a negative pressure unit to add more ICU beds. Unrelated, but she went to her HR department last night and demanded that they start working on mental health resources for her nurses for when this is over. Tell her thanks from the internet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t even a concern. And this was a 6 ICU level one trauma center that ran a joint training program with the Air Force for trauma care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 if you’ve seen said video, it’s worth reading this thread about it. In short: it’s pseudoscience fear-mongering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, same for grocery store employees, fast food workers, gas station attendants, construction workers, and others I'm sure I'm missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care more that the most important person in government walked into a hospital and shook everyone's hand during the middle of a pandemic. I understand. I just thought you ought to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also does not help that NYC has removed roughly 20k in hospital beds (and associate equipment) over the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
