This is also why your healthcare premiums are high.

Lol. Trying so hard.

Pretty simple and on topic questions. I guess you'd rather talk about me though (as per usual). :shrug:

Every facility you named is understaffed. Nurses are being offered $90-100/hour to come from other facilities in the area to fill vacant shifts.

Okay. Show that they're understaffed because of the mandates. lol

So you don't actually know **** all about what you're saying? That's what I thought.

About as simple as when I asked what you do for a living. Answer that question and I'll be happy to entertain your endless questions for me.

I know I'm not the one that said this.

I am the one that showed that that's not what happened here. "Nuh uh!" isn't much of a counterpoint.

Your desperate attempts to convince people you have any medical background is laughable.

Nursing was under staffed well before CoVid dumbass.

You never answer anything. You just counter with endless questions. It's your MO and the reason why catman gets caught up in pages and pages worth of conversation with you that goes absolutely no where.

Stating that you've "seen no evidence" isn't validation of any point you're trying to make. It just means you have zero connection to any of the facilities you mentioned and don't know **** all about anything happening there.

I'm well-aware. And wages/sign-on bonuses have since substantially increased you absolute ****ing idiot.

This is pure deflection. Not only have I given you the people from the major hospital systems saying that only a "very tiny portion of the workforce" left over the mandate, I answered the only real question you asked before you even asked it.

I "know how exactly" because I just showed you the people that run those hospital systems telling you so. If you'd like to accuse them of being liars, you're certainly free to do that.

But again, I'm not the one who claimed that there was "a ton of healthcare workers leaving those places because of said mandates." That was you. And now you'd rather talk about me than show any evidence of your claim.

You can imagine my surprise.

You seem weirdly triggered by any mention of my job... in, of all places, an appropriate thread to talk about it. That's desperate and strange. But, you've also weirdly interjected yourself into my dislike of spliff and seem to be seeking his approval like a smitten little school girl, so desperate and strange is exactly what I'd expect from you.

Just remember: you (repeatedly) asked for this.

From The Mayo Clinic.

1. Repeat statements and questions over and over

(I, of course, did answer this, every time, which you can see by checking any of those comments.)

2. Forget conversations, appointments or events, and not remember them later

10-24:

10-27:

No response. Maybe he remembered!

Oh, except...

3. Irritability and aggressiveness

I think it's pretty obvious that this could go on for some time, so we'll just move on.

4. Distrust in others

5. Delusions

There was the whole Biden dementia saga where he became nursing personified.

Again this is one that could go on for some time, and I suspect I'm going to be bumping up against the quote limit on this post.

6. Have trouble finding the right words to identify objects, express thoughts or take part in conversations

It's HIPAA, by the way.

Anyway, that's a good six to start with. Of course, I'm not actually saying someone that has never consented to be my patient and I've never examined is showing signs of Alzheimer's, because I'm not a festering *******, but if you're going to keep daring people to do this, you shouldn't throw a hissy fit when someone takes you up on that. You're going to, of course, but you shouldn't.

A couple of thoughts on your little diatribe here.
!. Everything you have posted here applies to you as well. If I show signs of Alzheimer's, yours is far more concerning as you are far younger than I am.
2. Your obsession with me appears to be bordering on unhealthy.

I would suggest that you get a life and attempt to disengage from your unhealthy obsessions.
