Nurse in NYC claims ventilators are killing COVID-19 patients

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...ing-ventilators.html

Ohhhhh man,this is awful!

Many families in New York are complaining about the treatment that their loved ones received at some of the hospitals. There are cases where patients were transferred to other hospitals and the family was not informed. Some people are having trouble locating the dead bodies in the rental trucks as they are identified by a number. Some patients discharge papers were being prepared and next thing you know they were pronounced dead.

Yeh! It's all about the bottom line. Hospitals are paid  more for use of ventilators. 

With the large number of Covid cases and switching ventilators from an expired patient to another patient is very high risk. The entire facial equipment needs to be sterilized , now are they doing a thorough job?

Many more people are dying of heart attacks and other organ failure simply because those surgeries are not given priority. It is a tuff time to fall sick.

When this is over a lot of questions will be asked. They made such a big fuss over Ventilators and it saved very few.  When my relatives were vented, it was the end. It made no difference.

I told my kids, if I ever in that state, no vent.  I will face time till me dead.

Understand, 65% of your lifetime medical costs are incurred in the last two weeks of people’s lives.
