NY Doctor Leaks Footage of Hospital(VID)(WTF)

[Schweric]

I heard they're turning central park into an emergency hospital? Not sure if that's just a rumor.

[exxtracool]

I'm not sure I follow.

The hospital is running out ventilators because the number of cases keeps increasing day by day. A lot of these patients stay on these ventilators for a prolonged length of time, like a week, for example. If one of these patients die, then sure, the ventilator will be sanitized and used for the next patient. But when the rate of patients needing a ventilator is greater than the rate of patients dying, then you simply need more ventilators.

Either that, or you start doing crazy stuff like trying to split a ventilator among multiple patients--something that a joint statement by multiple medical societies has not recommended for a multitude of legitimate reasons--or you simply have to start rationing resources, meaning someone who's too ill and likely to have a grim prognosis will not be offered ventilation in favor of someone who has a better chance.

so youre saying the number of people dying is greater than the supply of ventilators?


lol im sorry but that sounds like complete nonsense.

[ZeroPercentTip]

Hospitals are full of sick people, News at 11

LOL'd

[TheJediBrah]

Love how a video solely serving as a blatant political statement taken in a normal hospital with normal hospital activity is "Leaks Footage"

[Contribution05]

Hmm, it's called planning before you run out.

Think of it like an emergency fund (I know many Miscers find saving money to be a foreign concept). If you have an unexpected cost, or even better, an inevitable large cost coming soon, is it not a good idea to save money to account for that?

What you’re saying makes sense, but what doesn’t make sense is how panicked the woman in the video was about “we don’t know where we are going to get ventilators from. We got 5 and that’s enough for today, maybe tomorrow, but what do we do after that?”

Meanwhile governor is saying they have 1,000 in storage ready for use. So it’s a little over dramatic to say you’re worried about ventilators tomorrow or anytime in next couple weeks when you have 200x what they just received (And didn’t yet need) sitting in storage.

[ChewYourFood]

No way that is real. Hippa violation.

[BigNik78]

Talks about trump. Hit piece. Cares more about politics than patients

She had Boy hair and a moon face, in New York. Noped out of the vid pretty quick.

She's possibly panicked because she doesn't know when the next set of ventilators will come through. It's possible that suddenly a bunch of patients crash, more patients than there are ventilators for. Then what? It then becomes too little, too late. NYC hospitals are barely hanging on.

One of my best buds in a doctor in that hospital's ER. I'll ask him how things are shortly.

At my hospital's ER, it's completely full of patients waiting to get a room upstairs. The waiting room is full of people who should be in the ED. We have a bunch of FEMA strucks at the front entrance.

They're all colleagues I worked with when I was an intern.

[jiujitsubro]

It'd actually a big deal to those who are in large cities. My best friend is the biggest germaphobe. He gets everything in a to go cup.

[Mercworx]

I am in NY, that hospital being busy is nothing new.

Also Cuomo said that they have ventilators in a warehouse that 'aren't needed yet'

Propaganda at best



Welcome to healthcare in America - if you don't have health insurance or can't foot a 30K hospital bill, you're ****ed. My motorcycle accident alone totaled 15K. In fact, healthcare in countries with socialized medicine is EVEN worse and heavily overburdened.

Even with healtcare you had to shell out 15k?


Was thinking of getting a bike but fuk that.

[SirFapsAIot]

more fear mongering /NEXT

[Nicklol]

ehh

I went to the hospital to get tested and it was literally just me and 3 other people.
they had us in these outdoor tents to take our temp and listen to our symptoms etc.
I was one of the only ones to get tested cuz high temp and symptoms.

inside the hospital was a ghost town too. didnt seem busy at all, so shrug.

all those ppl lined up there could easily have a cold.

the reporting of this virus stuff has made people forget that there are other illnesses out there.
lots of fear mongering too.

[Ratfish]

Back to work, fatso

[Fang2]

Italy is worse

[Evil_D]

I was flicking through the channels the other day.
Saw a man being carted through a hospital who had Covid 19 and they had a phukking plastic bag/bubble over his head.
Not sure what country that was.
That was pretty scary.
But I'm also aware the news are into fear mongering and will go out of their way to show you the (possibly) 1 in a million cases that are extremely bad just to get eyeballs.

[kusok]

LMAO

I liked the scary music they went with, really trying to scare the sheeple.

150’000 people die every day, always remember that.

[Fang2]

[Evil_D]

Did not watch.
They must have known this was a possibility when they signed up to become nurses, no matter how slim.
Doesn't mean what they're going through would not be tough and very stressful though.

[Smunks]

And this is just the beginning. We are gonna need emergency hospitals built and massive amounts of ventilators and other chit. It's going to get really bad within the month.

What this virus really shows is nobody appreciates exponential growth. Climate change is this exact same problem on a longer timescale. The resource exhaustion issue is another. We need people to be literate and aware of how growth works. We need to be prepared for what is coming. Not just covid, but far worse challenges lie in the future of mankind.

You are an absolute moron if you believe in climate change (srs)

He must be trolling.

OMG PEOPLE ARE DYING???? WTF

Ok I'm legit scared, this is the first time in human history people have died.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL YOU FOOLS, STAY INSIDE, CRY, LIVE IN FEAR, THE IMPORTANT THING IS YOU LIVE SCARED (FEAR REDUCES CHANCES OF DYING)

Humans not understanding exponential growth has been the case since its existance. What makes you think we can just flick the switch and understand it?

This lack of understanding pervades almost everything:

- having a high time-money preference (consumption vs saving).
- on-set of disease from bad habits
- compound curves in road design
- disruption by technology (i.e. my job can never be replaced by a machine!)
- hyperinflation

+ countless others

Small changes over time condition people against rapid short term changes until it is already too late.

Ironically, fear of this virus raises stress/Cortisol which lowers immunity, this is why the weak and the scared are the ones to get sick.

But forget the facts, let’s all watch CNN and be scared!!! *scary music plays* pum-pum-Pum!!! KOUROUNA!!!!!!! VIRUS!!!!!! Orange Corona Man Bad!!!

[crupiea]

scare tactics

a bunch of old people who were already bound to die before 2030. ohh boohooo. shut the country down, destroy the economy.

Its clearly a professional hit piece from the new york times.

I still dont believe it.

Exactly, feel more sorry for the poor people in the supermarkets who didn't get a clapping night last week & won't get one. Didn't even get a mention from Boris when he was praising NHS staff & other key workers. They signed up to work in a shop stacking shelves & working the tills, not to come into contact with thousands of people that could be carrying something that kills them &/or their family members-likely more than your average nurse or doctor daily. The look of fear in the faces of some of the Tesco workers when I was in there last week was a horrible visual, along with that they have to put up with idiots asking why/having a go at them because the shelves are empty, people spitting & coughing at then on purpose etc for minimum wage.

[RobParks2M]

None of u bastards have any respect. She is trying to save lives and working daily and putting herself at risk and all I see is trash comments. You should be ashamed of urselves.

Spoiler!

lol

What would you put for odds her FB profile pic has that outline thing that says "I can't #stayhome I'm a nurse"?

[donblaximus]

looked like a normal hospital scene, then footage of her ugly mug.....was this video meant to prove covid is serious???

Do you "normally' see people lined up outside of an ER like they are waiting for $40 LED TVs at a black friday sale? Where do you live where thats "normal"?
