At the hospital today. Let me tell you, if you're in the hospital on Christmas, you've either got serious socio-economic problems, or are sick as shit. Most years, it's a little slower than usual, but not this year
- folkrav 5y agoSometimes just terrible timing. My son decided to climb on a chair and fall head first on a ceramic floor last year lol. Didn't expect to spend a handful of hours at the ER on Christmas night in the middle of a pandemic, but there I was.
- dogmatism 5y agoI speak in generalizations of course, and am referring to admitted medical patients, as that's my area we were already over-capacity from people who delayed/avoided primary care over the past two years, and then the lack of outpatient prevention has caught up, and now starting another covid wave Used to be New Year's was worse than Christmas, because people would try to struggle along at home through Christmas, then come in New Year's sicker than they would have been if they came in earlier, but now that's everyday and compounded by two years of avoided care
