They also asked me to keep track of all my expenses related to Coronavirus and turn it in an expense report. hmm... they didnt say work related expenses..:stirthepot:

We were not really prepared for something on this scale with the hardware we had on hand. Wasnt expecting the whole darn place to work from home at once, for weeks or potentially months.

Oh for sure! Every second that is related to corona is being documented for that govt $. Maybe I should ask for some upgraded streaming cameras and monitor(s)... We can call it corona command center-III

I dont think anybody was. But they at least shouldve ordered needed equipment much sooner. Or sent someone to Office Depot and panic buy all the webcams and mics...lol

Cant argue with that.

He is something alright!

Are you getting more or less calls now that alot are working remotely?

Unfortunately my profession needs to be hands on treatment and teleconference/consultation is not an option.

I just talked to the VP of the hospital last Friday. Requesting to defer treatment to a highly suspected covid19 patient until results come in.

His response was if he would do an exception for me then he has to do the same with other healthcare providers! BS!

But he sits in his glamorous office. Away from the war zone.

Future lawsuits will be at hand. But Im sure HCA (group of hospital) would get away with it.

I would at the very least demand that pt get tested before treating him.....

I would at the very least demand to wait until the results come in....


Edit... reading skills.

Everyday I see fear and anxiety among nurses!

One got fired last Friday for refusing to give care to one positive covid19 patient.
I know we swore an oath to provide care at all cost.

But She has a 8 month old baby at home.

We are facing a silent/ Stealthy killer from hell !

Nightshift is pretty robust and Ive got them trained well. Dayshifters start killing me about 5 am non stop until 7 when calls switch over to actual help desk people.

WTF is a positive case doing outside of isolation? They need to be shut the hell in an isolation room until they are clear.

Patient has been tested but results has not come out.
That was my plea wait for the results before I provide evaluation and treatment pt is inside a negative pressure room.

I had to go in last Friday! Of course with PPE.

:hello: Morning Folks

Madwi all our R/0 covid 19 are all in private isolated room. The hospital has barricaded two hall MS3 and MS1 as potentially covid rule out patient.

I kid you not if you enter that hallway Its a scene out of hell..patients mouth are gapping open due to intubation everyone wearing PPE.

I always say the words I fear not as I walk the valley of Death!

My sister is a MD Back home ( omitted) tested positive just learned this morning.
Both of her father in law who is a MD and Wife died of covid19 last week.
Bodies cremated. I hate to post this in public but this is reality guys. People are dying.


I dont know what to say guys...i wish I could laugh today.
