A thread: about ICUs and Covid19Ab.
My husband and I were talking about why people aren’t really getting the message about how taxed the hospital system is right now and we are trying to understand why that is.
He thinks it’s because most people (fortunately) will never have to experience being hospitalized for anything serious, let alone end up in and ICU. They just don’t get it. #Covid19AB

I've had three major joint replacements surgeries since 2016. I spent (maybe) a TOTAL of 6 hours in the actual operating room(s). Before each surgery I had to do multiple full days of other pre-op stuff, like....
Bloodwork - two separate visits for bloodwork at different labs for each surgery (cause only specific labs do cross-matches in case you need a blood transfusion).
I notice patterns. I am a writer, so most of the patterns I notice in words, especially the written word - be it on paper or on the internet.

Wanna know some deets about what our government is doing to our healthcare?
The @ucp has told radiologists in our province that there is no more money for CT SCANS.
#ableg#abhealth#abpoli
Basically, this means that there is a finite number of CT SCANS that can be done. And they’ve been told they CAN NOT exceed this.
