She broke the foot several days ago and was transported to the hospital. They wanted to get her into surgery but delayed because of possible incoming covid cases and sent her home.
Two days later she's been sitting in the same chair at home because she can't walk, and her hygiene is uncared for. An ambulance was called again today but when they arrived the medics told them that the hospital wasn't admitting anything but 'emergency' patients, and apparently a 92 year old woman with a broken foot stewing in her own juice in a living room chair isn't an emergency.
This is a motherfucking crime, and neither the government nor the health care system gives one shit about it. I'm boiling with hatred for every one of these thugs.
The weird part about those dances was it was likely people in other departments who weren't allowed to go to work very much. If all that the hospital takes care of is COVID, then the other departments are out of work or very low.
Everyone I knew in the medical industry was dipping into savings to pay rent and stuff. Places like opticals had to be open, but very limited patient access. So places like that had to dip into savings just to pay rent and anyone allowed to work.
Meanwhile, they were being told they were important and necessary to saving the world. It created an awful situation where nurses and doctors were going broke and couldn't talk about it because Covid was that important.
When people tried to talk about it within the medical world, they were shut down. Their license was revoked and other such things.
