There's an interesting almost sub-argument going on where most of the posts are telling stories about half of nurses not even showing up for their shifts, hospitals cutting corners, and then someone coming in with "actually it's all these unvaccinated Covid patients filling it up".

Our system is so broken. I’m so sorry you had to go through this.

The system was running skeleton crews in normal times for profits. This is negligent on the part of management at this point.

Medicine should not be a FOR PROFIT venture period.

Hospital CEO: "what more do you want from me, I took a pay cut down to just 1.2 million from 1.5 million"

*with a 300k performance bonus for saving the hospital system $300,000 in salary expenses

THIS. The fact that they are still lowballing their employees instead of retaining them and aggressively trying to hire a surplus of nurses in order to lighten the load says it all. They are choosing travel contracts because they’ve done the math and it’s cheaper than properly staffing long term to have contracts that expire. And they don’t care how dire it gets and how many patients die in the waiting room as long as they don’t get sued.

A doctor that works hand in hand with administration confessed this to my charge nurse and she confided this on me. More people will die and its managements fault

But Aksually

Yes, our system is broken, but it is also stretched to the max by the fricking unvaccinated. I'm sick to death of hearing how the vaccine is a fricking "choice." I'm in the South and it is a straight up shit show. Fricking selfish buttholes.

If they just get the jab ... none of these glaring defects would ever occur!

It's weird, according to my friends in the south everything is fine. It's like all of this doom and gloom information is generated entirely by the media.

Your friends who work in hospitals? It's not an apocalypse and media outlets overblow things, but "shitshow" is merited from what I've seen. A r*dditor probably shouldn't be allowed to make judgement calls, but it is shitshow in some places.

A sanitation plant could be described as a shitshow, even if everything is in working order. Just because it is messy does not mean it is broken. The population of the US is not shrinking, so it isn't an issue.
