Done : nursing

i've learned more about the real on-the-ground ugliness of COVID from r/nursing than I've learned from any other source. Even the most unflinching media portrayals of what COVID does to the unvaccinated and the people who have to care for them leaves a lot out.

[...]

for example last week i learned that a lot of nurses have had to deal with maggots in the intubated bodies of COVID patients, because anybody who has to be intubated for as long as many COVID patients do makes an attractive home for fly larvae, even when they're still alive

      Found out about that subreddit a couple of weeks ago.

      Definitely a great place to revel in the idiocy of chuds choking down horse meds while refusing vaccines, then meeting a karmic end

      Honestly, Covid has made me go from shocked looks at "(Mild Socialist talking point, maybe an edgy Guillotine meme for my left-lib friends)" to a laugh followed by sage nodding at "Our only hope is Climate Stalin"

      On the flip side I got banned from the nursing forum for communist propaganda, gotta remember a lot of nurses move into hospital administration real quick after seeing how terrible bedside nursing is. Can't say I blame them.
