#hcws — Public Fediverse posts

Probably just gonna talk more often & much more loudly, at VGH - about how Bonnie Henry is a highly paid, non elected public health officer/social murderer, who is working to kill public health systems to usher in more privatization of health care in BC.

Can't arrest me for having loud conversations with fellow citizens on corruption of a high level public servant.

I just talked to VGH admin on Mom's unit & they are getting the sign put up. They failed to do basic safety transfer shit. I am still pissed off. I will be very cold & firm in communication tomorrow. I'll also record everything so they can't lie their way out of accountability either.

Do not fuck around with my Mom's fragile condition. Do not fuck around with me at all.

I'll chase you down, whether you're in a fucking union or not. I would chase down your eugenics union leaders too, if you fuck with me or my family 🤬 I'll show up, at their front doors 😡

A few extra notes to share from the hospital today - not all directly about my Mom's health. In point form because that works best for me, when my brain is overloaded daily.

- I reprimanded 1 doctor & 1 student doctor today, for being part of the hospital team that was responsible for dangerous early discharge, on September 8th. I straight up told them - they almost killed Mom with that bullying/forced discharge, that they're responsible for her having her first stroke & I'm documenting everything & telling thousands of people online how they practiced eugenics fail care, using highly vulnerable patients as pawns. I said none of that is OK at all. They kept apologizing. Again, had to say stop apologizing & start to do better, every day!

- I had to tell one HCA that her saying elderly people can eat anything they want is dangerous, untrue & can kill a lot of elderly with conditions that need specialized diets. I reminded that ignorant LPN that proper, patient specific nutrition is key to successful recoveries & anyone who doesn't know that, doesn't really belong in health care work. She wasn't happy about me being direct like that. I don't care - she deserves to be told these things.

- A husband of one of Mom's roommates was glad that I wasn't budging & being very direct with staff. After staff left, he told me - I heard everything that you talked about with both of those staff. You are a strong advocate. I'm going to start documenting with photos & audio recordings too. I learned how to protect & advocate for my wife more, listening to how you handled those people. I noticed they were very uncomfortable when you looked at them in the face & said: I will not allow hospital staff to kill another of my parents. Do better, starting now.

- I had a nice 15 minutes reunion with the lovely, always masked Black family with the autistic young son. He wore my floral jacket with my purple hat for his photos at the hospital today. That family is wonderful & I love bumping into them at RJH ❤️

Infection was associated with HCWs in 5 (29.4%) patients. Routine surveillance including a respiratory virus panel can improve coronavirus detection in both healthcare professionals and patients.

''As of 27 Sept. '23,1288 #contacts of confirmed cases were traced, including high-risk contacts & #HCWs, who are under #quarantine and monitoring for 21 days. Since 12 Sept., 387 samples have been tested, of which 6 cases were positive for #Nipah virus infection, & all remaining samples tested negative. Since 15 Sept., no new cases have been detected. This is the 6th #outbreak of Nipah virus in India since 2001.''

''However, on 5 April one of them {#HCWs} developed respiratory symptoms, therefore a nasopharyngeal swab was taken, which tested negative for influenza; the monitoring period for this contact was extended for seven additional days, ending on 11 April.''
