@Burkeocet The message you’re sending is part of the problem. People don’t believe in a vaccine that could literally save their lives- and your adding fuel to the fire. They’re scared and mad and rightfully so. Covid is here, and it’s fucking scary.
@Burkeocet Believe me, I understand the frustrations. It’s impossible to move on when hospitals are at max capacity and still receiving positive (very sick) covid pt’s daily. Nurses are leaving due to burn out caused by the pandemic. We’re literally drowning.
@Burkeocet We’ve been very lucky in miramichi, but come to work with me for an hour and see what it’s like working through a pandemic when people don’t believe it’s “real.”
@Burkeocet are >70% occupied. With the critical nursing shortage, and current state of hospitals across NB- the restrictions are in place to protect our health care system from completely collapsing.
Making life decisions is really hard without your mom. I would have called her approx. 7 times yesterday. I know what she would say, but fuck it’s hard not being able to ask.
There really is no good time for your mom to have cancer, but during a pandemic has to be the absolute worst. No one should have to go through chemo and oncology appointments alone.
@BrittMckibbon @klynch_ They are 😣 work is suggesting that we change out of our work clothes before leaving/having a shower as soon as soon as we get home! Keep lots of distance, don’t touch your face/eyes, and wash your hands/sanitize frequentlly!
@phlegmily69 There is absolutely no screening for ovarian cancer. My mom was diagnosed with gastritis, and given a prescription. She was only diagnosed when she pushed bc she is a nurse, knows her body, and knows the signs of ovarian CA. An ER physician was the one who listened to her. 🤷🏻♀️
