[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 3450598, member: 45783"] Im a licensed health care professional with a graduate degree & work in intensive care with both covid & non-covid patients. 40+ years experience as a clinician & educator. To claim that this pandemic is a scam & hoax shows similar ignorance & tin foil hat conspiracy stuff that CHenry claims. You lose credibility & people don’t take you seriously. You have no idea how this virus has affected hospital operations regarding clinical outcomes, staffing, capacity, negative pressure rooms, etc. I haven’t seen anything like this & ive been a clinician since the 70’s. The pathophysiology is fascinating & it presents with a different clinical ARDS picture & treatment then other viral pneumonia’s like he flu. I’ll be at the bedside in the icu tomorrow & see the new vent patients every day, while you guys will be online telling us it’s a hoax... New admissions keep showing up in the ER, on a vent-or on Vapotherm/BiPAp waiting to be placed on a vent. Hospitals are full. If they don’t die & they are finally discharged, their is always another one to take that bed. They don’t stop coming. The LTACH’s are full. No where to send them locally. You should attend a clinical-admin meeting to see how the entire staff is struggling with the admissions, staffing, & emergency contingency plans. [/QUOTE]
