I couldn’t believe
1️⃣ Governors could even Direct Patient Flow In and Out of Hospital-Long Term Care Facilities (practicing medicine w/o license)
2️⃣ Medical Directors, Hospital Administrators, LTC Facility Owners, Liability Insurance Providers didn’t know better 🤔

Part 2. Everyone is off the hook. Owners still profit, billing @MedicareGov @MHPA Medicaid, Private Insurance, Private Pay Estate depleting. Governors still receiving votes, contributions, freedom from any accountability. Contrast when a nurse aid drops a fork and keeps feeding.

Part 3. Doctors can rest easy now. They wrote the orders to discharge from Hospital or accept the infected patients To Long Term Care Facilities. No worries. No testifying against Governors. No sweat.
Billing people and insurance won’t have to rework claims or pay settlements.

Part 4. Strategically, drop investigation before consulting each victim’s next of kin/guardian. Didn’t ask Hospital Doctors, in particular, Why did you do what you Knew Was Wrong!!
There were Sensible Alternatives!!
Every year Influenza hits care homes.
Quarantine not new.

Part 4. Had my own tussle w/Healthcare this week. #CPAPRecall like an Iceberg, most of the problems you probably can’t see, but they’re deep and very big. So complaining about Healthcare is merely a cathartic moment. Suffering lasts a lot longer.
