With one pt it is, the other was critical before it was used and the pt has multiple co morbidities, in full blown adult respiratory distress syndrome. Our pulmonologist is starting treatment now when they hit the door, even while waiting for rule out.

Seems like a patchwork of Band-Aids are starting to develop in the medical community. I guess the whole goal at this point it to keep people off of the ventilators and anything to that end will be tried.

yes, we have a process and steps until they get a vent. We correct everything we can to try to support pts. But ultimately, if they can't oxygenate properly, they get intubated and vented.

Dr Fauci not on again so it’s another waste of time. But I don’t need to watch because I know what Pompous Maximus is going to say no matter what the question is: “We’re doing the greatest job anybody has ever seen. Or—Nobody could do it better. Or—I’ve given you perfect answers.” Am I right? Also, told you last week that 50% approval rating wouldn’t last. That has sunk back to normal levels now at around 40% and going down. He’s back in his lane.

Sexist! Sounds like you dismiss Dr. Birx because she is a woman.

Keep fighting the good fight and stay safe. I, and I think everyone else here, really appreciate what you're courageously doing for our fellow citizens and country.

... we need to come out on the other side of this thing with better procedures , and a better understanding of how important it is for our hospitals / admins to get better at dealing with problems when they are happening . Regardless of your model , when pressure is applied to it , the weak links will pop up and show you where your need is . When that happens it needs to be addressed . Now is the time for hospital administrations to do their thing just like everyone on the floor is doing theirs . I’m sure there are really good ones doing great jobs but I’m positive some aren’t and need to get better ASAP.

It's guaranteed he's not related to the Trumps. Their lawyers would have eviction notices printed and ready to go.

Edit: Sorry I thought I was responding to Els post.

Raises an interesting question about what's going to happen with this. I really think it may be in the landlords long term interests to take a few months hit than risk having an apartment that may stay vacant for five or six months if the tenant leaves.

Oh yes, always for the pts first. I feel bad for the families who can't come to see their loved ones. These are the people who need everyone's support too. We are doing our best.

It’ll be interesting when this is under control, and the legitimate analysis is done will the 10 and 12 hr health care shifts be found hazardous to the providers

So what you're saying is you really don't need the money, but you're first in line for the free money hand out?

I don't see how you get that from my post. We have enough to pay forward by 6-8 weeks but revenues will be down and slowed.

I think that's a pretty common situation. I resent your implication otherwise.

And I can tell you we plan to dispense that money and use it to pay salaries off any short revenue and would give back any unused.

With H1N1 we had the best responsive admin and mid levels who listened to our needs and were very proactive in anticipating problem areas. Right now my coworkers are in a learning curve that's not letting up. Some admin and mid level haven't experienced a pandemic, they need guidance and reassurance.
My pet peeve is keeping useless security measures in place that we simply can't follow with the covid rules that admin put out...no foresight...no discussion of down range effect. Craniorectal transimplantation at it's best.

All of you can talk about politics all you want. I've shared some things about COVID 19 testing, my wife's health, self quarantine, etc.

Here's what I'm going to tell you. My wife and I have been self quarantined for about a month, we wear masks and gloves when we go out, we wipe down everything we purchase before it comes in the house, our hands and exposed skin is dry, we are in our 70's and we both are vulnerable, my wife because she has Celiac Disease and has had pneumonia 3 times. Me, I'm a he art disease guy, I had my aortic valve replaced in 2005. We've worked at being as healthy as we can be....

And today is a day to celebrate, we kissed for the first time in a month.

Stay safe, love your families and take care of your neighbors as well as all those within reach of your care.
