Shortage comes amid flood of COVID patients
The 150 nurses and other hospital workers at Houston Methodist Hospital who were fired for refusing to receive one of the expermimental COVID vaccines apparently were regarded by administrators as disposable.
But two months later, the hospital is one of several in the area experiencing a severe shortage of medical personnel as media report local hospitals have reached a "breaking point" because of a flood of COVID-19 cases, noted the Foundation for Economic Education.
The Houston Chronicle said an editorial published Tuesday the 25-county hospital area that includes Houston had more patients in hospital beds than at any point in 2021. But local KHOU-TV reported medical tents erected outside of Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital are vacant because of a shortage of nurses.
"Please send help now," said Dr. George Williams, the chief ICU medical officer for LBJ Hospital.

Funny how that works. You fire 150 employees and then wonder why you're 150 employees short. :pondering:

This is not just about the numbers, but of the overall quality of care.
Many of those fired were competent people who are gone and what is left may be less capable staff.
So the hospital going woke with an unproven vaccine requirement has lessened its quality of care, not improved it.
