I love how the signs say and "no other employer" yet this is happening accross the country.

Heck like less than 6 months ago I was in a non-bought out hospital that is well respected in the area with something a bit serious. Emergency room line was 6 hours for me, few got taken before me and a couple people had already been there for over 24 hours. The place was just so overburdened, there were beds but no one to attend them. People were getting an injection of oxy and patched up in chairs around the nursing station for things non life threatening, then sent on their way with no recovery time and a script for pain. Oh and one nurse said she was on her 5th 12 hour shift that week. If you needed anything it would take eons, although almost all of the nurses were super nice somehow even with being overburdened. Good times.
