"America's nurses are stressed out to the point where they are leaving the industry. By 2027, nearly a fifth of registered nurses will hang up their scrubs for good, according to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing....For the ones that are working, Moffatt said some are now looking for nursing jobs outside a hospital setting."

“If there’s a profit in it, then they’ll do it. They’re not going to do a single thing that doesn’t benefit them, first and foremost.”

“There’s a large body of research showing that health care consolidation leads to increases in prices without clear evidence it improves quality,” said Zachary Levinson...“There’s some concern that, for example, when a larger health system buys up a smaller independent hospital in a different region, that hospital will become less attentive to the specific needs of the community it serves...”

And we wonder why some people, esp our more vulnerable, are nervous about seeking medical care in healthcare settings...
Per Dr Unger, 18 patients tested COVID positive (many>75yo) at a BC hospital . "The majority were hospitalized for other reasons & then developed symptoms"

“Private equity–backed health care has been a disaster for patients and for doctors,” said Mark Reiter, residency program director of emergency medicine at the University of Tennessee. “Many decisions are made for what’s going to maximize profits for the private equity company, rather than what is best for the patient, what is best for the community.”

“There are two reasons, however, why this framing has limited application to health care facilities. First, hospitalized patients are different from nonhospitalized populations. #Hospitals, by definition, aggregate some of the most vulnerable people in society when they are at heightened vulnerability (i.e., when they have an acute illness).” https://masto.pt/@BLMG/110577346746332658
“A return to #masking has a clear logic in #hospitals. Sick patients come into close contact; medical procedures produce aerosols. “It’s a perfect storm for potential transmission of microbes,” Costi David Sifri, the director of hospital #epidemiology at UVA Health, told me. Hospitals are on the front lines of disease response: They, more than nearly any other place, must prioritize protecting society’s #vulnerable.” https://med-mastodon.com/@luckytran/111025404055879772

I just saw this on YouTube. Hospitals in Kentucky are dumping patients out in the street and a reporter decided to investigate. The American healthcare system is completely horrifying and broken. #Healthcare #Hospitals

The concrete had an expiration date, #Tories ignored it for 13 years because #money is for #rich friends’ pockets only, now #hospitals and #schools are starting to close off sections that are clearly falling apart. It was entirely preventable and will now #cost a fortune to survey and fix and probably be outsourced to another disaster creating #corporation... which is every #tory #policy in a nutshell.

“The analysis, published this month in the #JournalofInfection and #PublicHealth, considered the results of 15 studies which used swab samples from mobile phones to test for #SARSCoV2.
Conducted between 2020–23 across 10 different countries, the studies checked 511 #MobilePhones, of which 231 (45%) were found contaminated with SARS-CoV-2.
All the studies took place in #hospitals, with two also conducting tests in #isolation rooms as well as a patient’s house.” https://aus.social/@DenisCOVIDinfoguy/110993842511260259

The good news is that the staff were friendly, and B enjoyed the experience and the attention, and best of all, she’s been discharged WOOHOO

Keeping talent a top risk for health care, execs say - and then these same executives attack healthcare providers when they stand up for patient safety and rights and demand fair compensation for their labor.
