there are risks in everything. You take a risk by taking the vaccine. And there are risks for not taking it. Being de prioritizing in triage is becoming one of those risks

For them to single out people that do not take an unproven vaccine, yet not turn away people that are not vaccinated for hepatitis, tetanus, chicken pox, influenza, or whatever else, or like was mentioned by others, illegal aliens, drunk drivers, drug overdoses, 400# people, etc...

Seems like they are just wanting to jump on the politically and now socially acceptable bandwagon of singling out unvaccinated folks.

Well the vaccine is FDA approved so from there point of view it’s not a matter of proven. It appears that they are taking a “not our problem “ approach to this thing. From their point of view they have a system that works and has for years. They are taking steps to not burn out staff and not be overwhelmed by something they see as preventable. From their point of view it Is actually protecting their standard of care.


I’m not sure how I actually feel about this. That’s why I brought it up.

I think this is coming to a lot of “private hospitals “. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I had both shots in May and for the last 3 weeks have had a stuffy and wake up in the morning with a cough. I feel fine otherwise, no fever or other illnesses.

I haven’t been sick or even had a stuffy nose since December 2019 when I had what the doctor thought to be a very bad cause of bronchitis or pneumonia.

Wifey is feeling a little under the weather. I have runny nose and that’s it.

Normally I chalk it up to allergies this time of year and that’s what it feels like.

The incredible nursing shortage continues. A long as hospitals impose unbelievable tight restraints on nurses, they will leave.
I just heard this morning the hospital I left because it was dangerous to my license working there are now assigning 2 nurses 7 icu pts with shared responsibility over 1. People die like that.
I also found out they are going to make it mandatory for the vaccine at my hospital. I’m tripling every night with vented ICU pts on multiple drips. They cannot afford to lose 1 more RN. They will make it mandatory for “safety” they will lose more RNs. It almost feels purposeful. Like someone is that incompetent on hiring and retention on purpose. That’s the story at every hospital I’ve been in traveling for the last year.
I was also told this morning that my restraint charting for 6 am was not in yet and has to be done by 6. It was 610. I replied “ when my pt care is done, then admin can run their reports when my charting is in. I’m sorry admin is uncomfortable they can’t run their compliance reports right now for their 0830 mtg”

No no. Luther says that’s all BS and he would know more than you of course.

Hang in there NGV. We need more like you!

Interesting info on this subect...apparently Senate Bill 858, and corresponding House Bill 575, prohibit state and local governments from mandating that private businesses in the state require proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of entering or utilizing such business.


Senate Bill 320, and corresponding House Bill 794, would make it a discriminatory practice to deny an individual equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of a place of public accommodation, resort, or amusement based on whether an individual has received medical treatment. The Bills also prohibit a political subdivision from enacting or enforcing a policy that would allow for discrimination based on whether an individual has received a medical treatment. A medical treatment is defined as an immunization with the intended purpose of treating or preventing a medical condition, sickness, disease, or communicable disease.
Also a pending bill will make them liable to a civil suits.

Its nonsense. Hospitals literally exist because of poor choices made by citizens.

Funny: we used to call the Pediatric ICU in Tampa General the "Dumb Boys' Unit." I remember at one point there were three teenage boys in a row: one picked up a pygmy rattlesnake to show his friend, one tried to skateboard under a moving semi truck, and one was riding on a wheel well of a trailer which hit a bump and he went flying.

I could write a book with all the crazy ish we saw at the Med in Memphis. One guy was sitting on a window, headbanging to Metallica and bouncing a loaded rifle on the ground. It discharged and shot through his chin, the bullet passing behind his face and exiting the top of his head. It didn't damage any vital portions of the brain, but I'm not sure there were any parts that weren't already fried.

So I posted this last month with commentary that it seemed insane and way off. Well, it is way off. This faculty member from my school predicted 8000 hospitalizations by August. The actual current is about 2900 (still below the peak from January). She predicted an additional 5500 deaths by October - ain't gonna come close.

I wonder if anyone will call her on why the predictions were so catastrophic and so far off.

UAB: COVID hospitalizations double last surge by August

"Preventative measures would reduce the surge to 1,500 or 2,000 daily hospitalizations in August, down from a projected 8,000 daily hospitalizations, according to Judd."

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she means total people in the hospital rather than total daily new hospitalizations - still missed it by over 5000.

This is precisely the reason I am asking my questions today. We have created a whole subset of people who do not trust what officials say. Sometimes that distrust is based on who is doing the talking. Sometimes it is based on feeling like that person hasn't been forthright in the past. Fauci/CDC have tainted an organization which I think many would view as trustworthy prior to covid pandemic. Expectations on vaccine effects by the public is another step towards distrust unless those expectations are reset.

What you are calling a subset is looking to me like a majority of the people... who can think for themselves.
