if your health isnt compromised by the first 2 jabs they'll get you with the 3rd.
I don't work or live at the hospital so I'm not an authority and I'm sure the covid cases are taking priority. Probably how it should be. However, if they do the surgeries now and let the covids die, then there is no covid case money. Most of those surgeries will happen later so the hospital gets covid cash and surgery insurance cash too. This is how all industry works. Take the money that may go away now and pick up the money that isn't going anywhere later. I'm only talking about the corporate hospital and management and not about the doctors, nurses and support staff that do the actual work and help people. I suspect its these corporate hospital types that are standing in the way of research on covid prevention and covid minimizing opportunities.You’re right. It’s like that all the time.
But have hospitals put off profitable surgeries before, as they lack beds and people?

The "first" time? Hmmmmmmmm@spazatak as I’ve said to others before.
I don’t care if you believe me or not.
Why do you care if I got “the jab”
According to you and others, I should be dead by now as I got it, or at least on my way to die as I was among the first cohort in the US to get it.
I’m still here. My 5G still sucks and I’m not magnetic.
I also find it hilarious that most assume I’m a liberal “woke” as I believe in public health.
I am a registered republican, voted for Trump the first time.
With as many Trump ballots that got switched to biden on election night and nearly none switched from biden to Trump and all were then shredded, Jenner has no real way to know if the vote cast went to the intended candidate.The "first" time? Hmmmmmmmm
I agree.Actually I voted for Jorgenson in the last election.
Hated the way Trump accused medical professionals in the trenches of profiting, when it was the system. His public health response was atrocious.
When I voted for Trump in 2016, I was voting *against* the establishment, but he pandered to them nonetheless, just like all his predecessors, donkey or elephant. Huge disappointment.
Can't stand Biden at all.
Someday people will wake up and realize they are being played by both sides.
AbsolutelyI agree.
There are good reasons why politicians and lawyers are such rich fodder for late-night comedians.
You say it needs an overhaul . . . I say it needs an autopsy.Absolutely
Would love to see a strong 3rd party candidate in the next election.
Our system needs an overhaul.
New York hospitals are in for a treat!
Yeah this is a real problemMy mom refuses to get hearing aids and her hearing tests show she's lost half of it in some ranges. Wearing a mask where we live is only necessary at the doctor's office, and she can't understand a thing that the doctor is saying unless they are yelling.
I agree . . . and it's difficult for me to witness physicians (and other healthcare workers) being stigmatized over foreign accents.Yeah this is a real problem
There are plenty of super smart Indian docs who get a bad rap as no one can understand them. I often have to go behind them and explain the plan to the patient (or their family)- it’s really difficult for older people to hear and understand them.
Subtle, and not subtle. I get called the nurse all the time (to which I say, oh thanks, I upgraded then) and laugh it off. It's not like its an insult, my nurse friends and colleagues are some of the smartest people I know (with way more common sense than some docs I know) -to me its just a respect for the education level and sacrifices made.I agree . . . and it's difficult for me to witness physicians (and other healthcare workers) being stigmatized over foreign accents.
I also see subtle chauvanism directed toward women doctors (perhaps you've experienced this?) from older people.
I once wrote an essay for school (and later published in an EMS journal) where I argued that certain patients--due to their cultural background--are more likely to be noncompliant with medications if said medications are perscribed by a female doctor.
