Spanish influenza |
The story below reflects the result of what the Illuminati and their population reduction allies desire: the total failure of the U.S. health care system resulting from red tape, virulent viruses and overwhelmed hospital staffs. Friends, it would not take many flu or Ebola cases to destroy our excellent hospital system.
A severely
botched Ebola case (which resulted in at least two more cases)
has turned a Dallas, Texas hospital into a
virtual ghost town, with
its ER visits dropping 50% and revenue dropping 25% since it happened.
When I called the place, the woman in the ER who answered the phone refused to even tell me what the wait time
would be if I showedup in the ER (per
what she said was hospital “policy”); must be a new policy, because
when ABC News asked a few days before me, they got an answer of “zero wait
time” in a hospitalwhere it used to be an hour.
People are
realizing that going to the hospital in the case of Patient Zero Thomas Eric Duncan did not make his situation any better and by the
second time, only prolonged the inevitable while putting other people in harm’s
way.
Why?
Because, per the nurses’ own statement on
the shocking events that went on in thathospital during Duncan’s care, the facility was not even
remotely prepared.
In a recent article, emergency
physician Dr. Louis M. Profeta, author of the book The Patient in Room Nine Says
He’s God, has detailed a much bigger fear
he has than Ebola itself.
Dr. Profeta
says that in preparing for any large-scale emergency, the biggest question is
always “Will the staff show up?”
That, Dr. Profeta says, he doesn’t know.
He goes on to detail how studies have shown
it is housekeepers — the people with the lowest pay who clean the rooms between
patients — that hold up patient movement throughout a hospital:
If the rooms on the floor were not cleaned
fast enough, then no patients could move from the ER to the floor, and no
patients from the waiting room to the ER. ER wait times rose and patient care
suffered. Housekeepers handcuffed the entire system, and not because they were
lazy. The regulations, protocols and procedures put into place to clean a room are so extensive that rapid room
turnover was next to impossible with the current staffing model. That stuck
with me. What is the rate-limiting step in a mass casualty scenario or massive
patient influx that would handcuff us? Where will all the preparedness collapse? What is the leaking O-ring?
What am I afraid will fail?
That protocol and procedure to clean a
room has been enhanced in the case of Ebola, and therefore takes even longer to
complete.
As reported
today, nurses are already calling out
sick and thus, refusing to treat Dr. Craig
Spencer, America’s newest highly publicized Ebola patient who was
admitted to BellevueHospital on Thursday.
So if nurses are already calling in sick on
this single Ebola patient at Bellevue, why would the cleaning staff — again,
traditionally paid the lowest wages at a hospital — risk their lives
to show up?
Furthermore,
should Ebola breakout at a handful of hospitals or in a
handful of cities, forcing multiple hospitals to take on multiple
Ebola patients at once, imagine this same scenario of people calling out
multiplied across the country.
When Dr. Profeta gave congressional
testimony regarding hospital ability to handle mass casualty events,
he told them his biggest worry was “the flu.”
“Now, flash forward. I wonder
if what I really meant to say was ‘Ebola’,” he wrote.
Dr. Profeta continued:
…the trauma from a major incident like an
earthquake or terrorist attack is very predictable. All you really need to know
is the type of event and the numbers and you almost immediately have a pretty
good idea of what to expect.
But a real bad flu? There is no way you can
prepare for it. The goal should be to protect your hospital from it.
There ya go.
There is no way for a hospital to effectively prepare for Ebola or
any real bad flu out of the mouth of an experienced ER doctor who has testified before Congress onhospital preparedness in
the face of a potential mass casualty event.
Dr. Profeta lays out what an outbreak
scenario would look like at your average Americanhospital:
Thus my biggest fear has always been a
strain of flu that is highly contagious with a high mortality rate. The
Spanish-flu mortality rate of 1918 was 2 to 5 percent. Ebola has a 20 to 90
percent mortality rate, but it fortunately is not quite as contagious as
Influenza. However, I still keep going back to flu and envisioning an epidemic
of the Spanish type that will quickly fill all our inpatient beds, every ICU
bed, every ventilator, every outpatient bed, every cot, gurney and chair in the
ER and in all the waiting rooms. I’m afraid that a flu virus this aggressive
will bring five dying flu victims to our ER each day and dozens more with a
real possibility of dying.
This would occur on top of a department
that is always operating at capacity and drowning in documentation and
electronic medical record bureaucracy. After 30 days in our ER, nearly 150
people will have died, providers will be physically and mentally spent and
morale will be at below-despair levels. Multiply it by 20 or so other hospitals in
the area and now we are talking about 3,000 members of our community dead in only a single month. The obituary
pages of the local paper will be thicker than the advertising section the day
after Thanksgiving. Expand that number statewide and nationwide and the numbers
become so immense they aren’t even real.
Now imagine a realistic scenario in which the flu vaccine only provides immunity to 50 percent
of the recipients. That means that half of our ER staff who are seeing all
these patients will have little protection, outside of gowns, masks, and
gloves, against a virus that is spread primarily though coughing, sneezing and
saliva. Simply put, some of us in the trenches in damn near every ER in America
will almost certainly die. It could be me, it could be any one of my partners,
colleagues and co-workers and it could be one of our children or a spouse who
gets infected when one of us comes home thinking the headache and fatigue they
are feeling is simply exhaustion from the workload of the day. Can you picture
it?
And this is where people stop coming to
work:
Now imagine that huge numbers of hospital staff
– from doctors to housekeepers, from food services to
registration, from security and parking to
transportation will decide not show up. They will call in sick or simply just
say: “No, I’m not coming to work today.” In just a few days, human waste,
debris, soiled linens, the sick, the dying and the bodies will pile up. We will
be overwhelmed and unable to offer much in the way of assistance because the
labor-intensive protocols that allow us to safely care for even one patient are
just too exhausting. These procedures are barely repeatable more than once or
twice of day, and fraught with so many steps and potential for mistake that it
becomes too physically and emotionally taxing for the staff to do … so they
simply wont show up.
If the
protocols are that labor intensive for just one patient,
something barely replicable twice a day, what about five patients? Or ten?
More?
And the doc
says by then he’s not sure he’ll show up either. Why? Because Dr. Profeta isonly human. He has a wife and kids to think about, family
just like anyone else. But what’s more, he goes on to point out the glaringly
obvious:
I also am keenly aware that not a damn thing I
do will have any real impact on the survivability of a patient with either the
Spanish flu or Ebola. Fluids, rest and prayer is about all there is to offer.
There is an old adage that says a hospital is no place for a sick
person. I think whoever first said that had
Spanish flu and Ebola in mind. [emphasis added]
That’s it. “Fluids, rest and prayer.” A
person is either going to survive or not, regardless of what a hospital can
do and that’s according to a seasoned ER doctor!
The doctor goes on to point out that it would be
much less risky to the entire medical infrastructure of the country and,
basically the safety of everyone in general, with home care.
“Why can we deliver the mail,
pickup the garbage and recyclables at damn near every house in America, but we
can’t pull up a retrofitted UPS van, drop off a mid-level provider in a hazmat
gown, let them do an assessment, draw some blood, drop off cans of rehydrating
formula to their doors, clean linen, biohazard bags, gowns and gloves for
family members, slap a warning sticker on the front door, tell them you will
stop by tomorrow and move on to some other location?” he asks.
Good
question. It does make a lot more sense to expose as few people as possible to
something like Ebola.
He goes on
to say, “I know there is a better way than risking the infrastructure of a medical center for the sake of a
few patients that will either do OK at home with simple supportive care or die
no matter what care I provide.” [emphasis added]
In other words…
§ Hospitals cannot fully prep for something
like the Spanish flu pandemic or a mass outbreak of Ebola.
It’s just not possible when just a few housekeepers calling out sick can
literally grind the entire building to a halt.
§ Further, even the ER doc says that there’s
nothing magical about simply going to a hospital for Ebola. Hospitals can offer
Ebola patients little more than “fluids, rest and prayer,” because these
patients will either do okay with supportive care at home or die no matter what
a hospital does.
But that’s not something that the media
wants to tell you. Yes, the role of nutrition (something our medical
doctors don’t really learn that much about, curiously) and the importance of
the immune system’s ability to fight off disease has been and will at all times
be downplayed by the establishment brought to you by our various industrial
complexes. In this case, they want you to run into the arms of Big Pharma at
the slightest cough and, oh, don’t forget to get your vaccine after
they rush the experimental money maker to market.
Please be
sure to keep all this in mind once flu season hits and everyone who has gorged
themselves on a steady diet of mainstream media Ebola fear and
who has even a slight fever runs screaming to the nearest ER thinking they
might have Ebola.
