First off I wear a mask, it's common sense. I know some people will say they did this study and that study and masks don't work and 85% of those who got COVID say they were following the protocol to a tea, BULLSHIT, in my 25 plus years in the nursing field I have discovered that patients are fucking liars. (Unless they are near fucking death, then they will come clean) Nobody wants to admit it was their fault. I wear the mask because it doesn't hurt me to wear the mask, I don't feel my rights are being taken away and what if the mask does work? I may save a life.
Now to the MYTHS, Hospitals just mark people down with covid. Hospitals are making so much money, I have medical friends who know. Let me tell you your medical friend don't know shit, when the patient is discharged weather they walk out the door or leave in hearse that chart changes hands or well computer screens who knows how many times. A doctor really can write whatever the fuck he wants but there is going to be checks and balances. There are a lot of jobs at stake for falsifying medical records or going after money grabs, Doctors can lose licenses, hospitals can lose funding, if they lose funding they are closing their doors. So to make sure they cover their ass (which medical field pays a ton of money to cover their ass, part of the reason premiums go up)they have medical review, utiliization review and they make sure the doctors are up and up on their diagnosis and make sure they are using the best treatment available. On the flip side INSURANCE companies pay a lot of money for people to review charts to make sure the hospital doesn't fuck them over. Trust me if a hospital is trying to fuck over an insurance company and they figure it out it wont be pretty. So they just don't hand over money.
Now early on in this process when COVID tests were not readily available they were accepting covid diagnosis for people without tests, WHY? because they had the symptoms, were in a high covid area and people were dying. When the whold fucking city gets sick and bum rushes your hospital's front door you can bet it's more than the flu.
Now you better have a positive covid test for that diagnosis and reimbursement and a lot of symptoms. Like I said people don't just hand over money without asking questions. so you can't just mark anyone a covid death like some people are saying. Waaaaayyyyy too many people involved. Now yes if you have a heart atttack and drop dead and test positive for covid you will get a covid diagnosis IN ADDITION to MI. Why? Because they can, they can say that postive covid lead to your demise of MI. Its a little shady but it is what it is. It's not that rampant as many people will lead you to believe. I can tell you that the hospital here has had over 100 flu and pneumonia cases since fall I believe and they could not diagnosis with covid even though they had the symptoms because they don't have a positive test.
So all the bullshit you hear is just that bullshit.
As far as the hospitals go, they are filling back up and Minnesota is full of Covid, the end game is the Vaccine or getting it.
I like how someone says it's balls to the walls until it involves you or a loved one. so so true.
ANY QUESTIONS?
