A Nevada nurse who travelled to New York to help treat COVID-19 patients has posted a tearful Facebook Live video claiming that patients are not dying from the virus, but are being “murdered” by “gross negligence and complete medical mismanagement.”
Nicole Sirotek, a nurse from Elko, Nevada, was assigned to two different hospitals in New York City.“I am literally telling you that they are murdering these people,” Sirotek says in the terrifying video.

Taking this with a grain of salt. Doctors and Nurses spend have their time doing paperwork. And both have a large percentage in their field that are sub par. That is why one of the leading causes of death in the U.S.A. is mistakes by Hospitals or Doctors or Nurses. They can't help it because they are human
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteAs I have stated...I have spent 4+ decades in healthcare. Over that time
ReplyDeletethe quality and competence of physicians has dropped dramatically. Now it is common, almost universal practice for hospitals to hire doctors that they call "hospitalists". This is done because a lot of practicing physicians DO NOT WANT to work after hours. They refuse to see patients admitted to the hospital unless it is convenient for the doctor. This means in the daytime. After hours and weekends the doctors want to be left alone. To cope with the need for inpatients to be cared for hospitals started hiring MD's as employees to care for
inpatients when their primary physician cannot or will not see them.
This is not an easy job. It's like being a resident again....with NO END in sight to the long hours, lack of sleep and seeing NOTHING but severely ill patients. Most doctors who will do this work do so for a simple reason. They can't manage to run a successful practice outside a hospital. This means that the odds are much higher for having a hospitalist who is incompetent. It isn't universal but it is widespread. Intubation, Central Vascular line placement etc. are ALL common procedures that any competent internal med doctor should be capable of doing. Yet over the years I have seen plenty of hospitalists who COULD NOT do these procedures and routinely called the ER MD to the floor to assist in these procedures. And many of these hospitalists come from other countries....they manage to pass their boards here and get their license but that does NOT mean they are competent real world doctors. And large big city hospitals are rife with these second ( or lower) tier doctors. We have a saying in health care. What do you call a person who gradutated dead last from the worst med school on the planet? DOCTOR!
