Brutal. Ridiculous. Doctors swear an oath to do no harm and ought to be speaking up about practices that put other patients, themselves, their coworkers and families at risk IMO.

SOME hospitals, not all.

So, is the moral that many hospitals do not want the public to understand a problem and as a result do not want the public's help with donations??

Doctors will be in high demand, they will be able to get a new job the very next day. I doubt this will stop healthcare workers from speaking out. I hope they do so anonymously and publicly shame the hospitals trying to muzzle them.

I fear that the USA is going to lose even more Doctors and Nurses than Italy or Spain as it seems their supply of PPE is even more limited in quality and quantity.

And sorry not sorry, but I value Doctors and Nurses higher than blue or white collar workers or celebrities or whoever. They’re specially trained healers that take 5-10+ years to produce and cannot easily or quickly be replaced. They’re simply more valuable to society than actors or plumbers, period, and ought to be protected.

There are a lot of unethical or bad doctors, true, as I had 3, my mom had some, and my friend had (as she has chronic illness, EDS, which the medical system attempts to dismiss in her experience). However nurses, the majority, I consider To be the best group of people on earth.

My sons current best nurse had been talking to me last week about how strange it is that they asked nurses (and another request to the general public via news), to please collect and donate gloves etcto the hospitals.

She showed me the letter she had received and shared with everyone - (it was also saying to nurses, if you know construction workers dentists etc, plz tell them to donate gloves and masks)

So she was saying it's strange that the anticipated surge of cases hasn't even come yet (in our province, last week) yet they are already running short .

It's possible they arent actually running short yet but are preparing in advance to stock up.

But she was saying they get a lot of money donated as well (which is true) and it was still strange

It's how I feel about Sick Kids, and my sons therapist told me as well: they get millions upon millions in donations not just from Canadians but international donors. What angers her is she knows of mismanagement of that money

What frustrates me is that despite all that $$ many areas and most entrances are inaccessible for wheelchairs!! Ive had so many issues when taking my son there over the years. Their parking lot sucks too and they still charge parents so much for it.
Often, parking is overcrowded and you have to park outside or in other parking lots and walk all thr way-- but if you parkin an area that isnt the main entrance it isnt wheelchair accessible and in fact u are confronted with stairs outsidr ANDinside with no ramps
AND they dont even have the thing where you push the button and it opens (with the wheelchair symbol)--which even small restaurants manage to have!! Frustrating.

If one doctor speaks about it that will work if they all speak about it then what would happen? lets fire all the Doctors and see what happens

That is how this worldwide plague started; some doctors in China reported the same symptoms from multiple patient to their local health department officials and were told to shut up.
They COULD have set up quarantine, but No.
They COULD have investigated, but No.
So here we are.
