'I've seen more death than ever': ICU nurse tells news crew she is QUITTING due to 'compassion fatigue' because of number of sick and dying who failed to get their shots
2021-08-13
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Jennifer Sartin works for the Singing River Health System in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, but resigned from critical care because she 'couldn't take it'

  • Sartin said it's 'mentally straining' that people aren't getting vaccinated

  • Mississippi is among the states with the lowest amount of vaccinated residents and most hospitals here are at or near capacity

  • The Delta variant accounts for 13 percent of cases in the state

  • New US cases have increased more than five-fold over the past month with the seven-day average hitting 113,357 on Thursday
She added: 'When we went from three to eight Covid patients in one week I knew that it was going to be another wave almost - if not worse than - what we did last year.

#19  Compassion fatigue. Whatever.

What P2K linked; these stories have been hard and fast for the last two weeks.

#18  "I just know they are unvaccinated"
How scientific. Watch less MSNBC and perhaps you'll stay sane.

#16  Lol! That "I work in ICU and its terrible" meme is about as convincing as the (sure to come) "Try this one weird trick to beat Covid..."

#12  In Mississippi, aren’t the majority of the unvaccinated African-Americans? I sympathize with the lady’s burnout, but the Black community keeps alive memories of medical experimentation, leading to trust issues when it comes to government-touted treatments and vaccines.

Separately, looking at the graphs at the link: while the number of infected is growing again nationally from a summer trough lower than last year’s, the number of dead is growing considerably more slowly from a much lower trough than we saw last year — exactly what growing herd immunity is supposed to lead to.

Finally, I wonder if it will turn out that Nurse Sartin was playing up the situation, as is happening so often recently — we had an article about a Democratic veterinarian running for office claiming to be working in an overwhelmed hospital emergency room recently who turned out to have been extraordinarily economical with the truth.

#7  "But Sweden’s death rate is lower than other European countries that locked down and required masks, like France, Italy, and Spain. So if you aren’t a fan of those policies, you probably see Sweden’s light touch as a success story."

#6  #5, Yes, people will find a way or wind up in Fema death camps. Hitler showed the way. History repeats itself. The noose slowly tightens. Example, prove you have all ten government mandated boosters. The cost of boosters will go sky high. They have planned this for twenty years.
