      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!

      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

          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.
