The state of nursing: I'd rather die

I mean, practically both ways you'll be dead but still. One of the nurses had to come back to the hospital and had to do something basic: take blood pressure. This nurse forgot how to do the test so badly, my cousin had to REMIND her how to do it. She ended up having to google the procedure, because she couldn't remember how it was done. She then failed to understand how blood pressure works since she forgot that blood pressure can be done on the legs or arms, but will give different readings. She was very ... confused why this was.

These are the same retards doing surgery and complex operations. We are so fucked as a country

You know, come to think of it... I'm not sure covid was a massive conspiracy anymore. I'm still certain that y'know, the vax is dangerous and doesn't work, covid was used to manipulate the public and commit election fraud, but I mean I used to think it was a medical conspiracy right down to the rank and file (at the very least, the doctors).

But now that I recall - my son was born in March 2020. One of the nurses had trouble finding a vein in my wife's hand, to the point I was ready to take the needle and do it myself (my wife is thin and her veins easily visible). The worse was the delivery doctor though - the delivery went fine, but my son came out face up. NBD, daughter did too, and the doctor just turned her over, gave her some soft pats, and bam, crying healthy baby.

But this dumb bitch kept him on his back running around the room saying "Aspirator! Aspirator!" I said "Just turn him over..." and made gestures with my hands, but she was literally panicking with my newborn son in her arms and she was fixated on that solution. Anyway they got the aspirator and, after waterboarding my newborn son for a bit, he was breathing fine but... oh no! His oxygen is low!? How could this be? Better keep him because he's probably got pneumonia. So they held him in NICU overnight. Oxygen was fine the next day, still some fluid in his lungs, better hold him again...

This shit went on for a few days - continually making up bullshit reasons to keep our son away from us to the point we had to threaten a lawyer to get our fucking son out of the hospital.

All that to say... I guess I shouldn't have been shocked by the gross incompetence displayed by the medical community in the face of a "crisis," manufactured or not. Just never really made the connection until this story... the covid crisis was inevitable because the (in)competency crisis has already been upon us for years.
