Too many people died in our tiny ER this week. ICU patients admitted to med/surg because it's the best we can do. Patients we've tried to keep out of ICU for two weeks dying anyway. This is like nothing I've ever seen.

Oh no

Edit: for those of you that don’t doomscroll the nursing R*ddit “coding” is where people die/have to be resuscitated

    Billing/medical coding is a thing, but 9/10 if you hear of someone "coding" in a US hospital, they mean someone has gone into cardiac arrest.
