[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8381547, member: 19675"] We’re running out of beds all over Texas. I was reading someone posting about their kid (in another state) passed out the car, unable to go into the hospital for his chemotherapy. One of the responses to that post was someone from here in the Dallas area claiming they had to set their own kid’s broken arm and jerry rig a temporary cast for a week because they were denied entry into an overrun facility. Hearsay? Yeah. Internet fable? Possibly. But I have enough friends and family in the D/FW medical community that are telling me similarly grim tales that I find it believable. You may also recall my tale about our friends in Oklahoma. The daughter was sent home a couple days ago with clots in her lungs because the physicians on staff at the reservation hospital told her she’d be safer THERE than in their facility. That’s [I]insane[/I]…but that’s what’s happening. And now we’re seeing people deny transfusions if the blood came from vaccinated donors. [B]EDIT[/B]: AND the ivermectin idiocy. I try not to wish evil upon others, but my faith and morals are being sorely tested. So much of this death & suffering is completely unnecessary… [/QUOTE]
