A 26-year-old man climbed on a hospital roof dressed as a 'crow' which resembles a Grim Reaper outfit, as he flaunted a long knife has now been fined for his nuisance behaviour
Hey it could be worse, you could be at one of the psych hospitals! Poor fuckers are running at 400%+ capacity on a good day. They’re so overtaxed they’re turfing people from forensic beds, and anyone that isnt a critical emergent case is never getting admitted. It’s so much fun!
My hospital hovers around 100% year round. We were at 130% recently, that was bad. Very bad.

130%??? Are we talking like the stereotypical image of a collapsing country with patients laying in gurneys in the hallway?
Yes. This is in a major city in Colorado, we’re not a small hospital nor are we in a rural place. There’s no excuse
That’s wild! I’m sorry that you have to deal with that.
Aren’t the rural hospitals all heading towards closure due to changes in medicare/medicaid funding? I’m pretty sure you’re just in the new normal.
