Hey Phillip, just working for the man spreading this virus around so folks in your field have to keep being overwhelmed...

 

Good job security

 

you're welcome?

 

We're actually seeing half the pts we normally see right now. It's help keep the bullshit out of the ER.

 

the small amount of times I've been to the ER even I could confirm there is too much bullshit on a normal day that goes there lol

 

It's sadly every(well, most) ER in the nation. People use it like a primary doc/urgent care/work excuse place.

 

I'm trying to remember when I've ever been there and I can only remember twice..

once for a bacterial infection in my stomach that caused me so much pain about 2am, and the ER was the only place to go...but it did end up being an actual emergency lol

and once for my appendectomy after going to an urgent care and they sent me there.

 

Those are emergencies. I'm talking "I threw up once", "I've had wrist pain for 6 months", "I've got an STD". Or ones that claim they have chest pains and after a couple thousand dollar workup later, we find out all they wanted was a work excuse. When they know they don't have to pay, they don't care. It's bullshit that we can't turn them away, make them pay up front, and the fact they may very well be taking a bed from an emergency that hasn't shown up yet.

 

lol yeah I know mine were actual emergencies, I was just trying to think if I've been more than that. I don't understand certain mindsets at all...folks like that will always baffle me..

 

Feel like meeting in Northport after work?

 

Good morning folks

 

Tomorrow i can if your able to. Ive got to go home and watch the kids while my wife goes and cleans a house for some extra cash.

 

Guys, these are strange days. It’s hard to wrap my mind around.

 

From AlabamaWX

STORMY START: Rain and thunderstorms are moving through the northern half of Alabama early this morning; the storm produced hail and strong winds over parts of Fayette and Walker counties. As I write this they are weakening as they move into the Birmingham metro. Additional showers and storms are likely today, and by this afternoon the stronger storms will be over the central counties of the state, where SPC has defined a low end, “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms.



Otherwise today will be cloudy with a high between 69 and 72 across North/Central Alabama.

TOMORROW: The morning should be quiet with just a few isolated showers, but heavier storms are possible during the afternoon and evening hours over the northern part of Alabama. There is a “slight risk” (level 2/5) over the Tennessee Valley (including places like Athens, Muscle Shoals, and Russellville), and a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) as far south as Tuscaloosa, Columbiana, and Heflin.



The main window for heavier storms will come from 3:00 until 9:00 p.m… hail and strong winds will be possible. An isolated tornado can’t be ruled out, especially over the Tennessee Valley of far North Alabama in the “slight risk” area.

REST OF THE WEEK: The weather should be rain-free across Alabama Wednesday through Friday with warm afternoons. Look for low 80s Thursday, and mid 80s Friday, our warmest weather so far in 2020. Sunny days, fair nights.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday will be another warm, dry day with a high in the 80s, but a cold front will bring showers and storms back into the state Sunday. A few strong storms will be possible.

NEXT WEEK: The first half of the week looks mild and dry with highs in the 70s; showers and storms should return by Thursday or Friday.

 

it is strange but will pass! Its so weird going to the store and seeing ppl in masks and handing out wipes and all the bread alcohol and toilet paper gone.
