it's only as of recently that the numbers slowed down, Maimonides also opened a field hospital in crown heights where they are sending the lower acuity PT's to.
That has been helping the overcrowding.

Out of curiosity, where in CH?

I believe I saw something about a nursing facility that was recently renovated on Buffalo Ave that was going to be used.

Per Doctor I spoke with today the Maimonides ER is empty...

They should be put out of buisness or new leadership with new direction.

This does not relate to covid 19 specifically, but all year round they are just horrible.

Sadly many just go there due to family proximity.

this is hilarious since it can be said about any hospital if you are looking for the bad.

the old st Mary's hospital on Buffalo and prospect place.

It should be said.
If there is bad then it should be said, not saying it and non action by leaders and people in charge only brings harm.

I'm not saying nothing should be done but a change in ownership or closure won't fix the problem.

Just like (lehavdil?) Rikers Island

A boycott would force the hospital to take drastic action to keep their doors open.

Change in hospital leadership can make a big difference.

Rule #1 is for them to realize there is a serious issue that requires serious repair. Before they are forced to believe so they most likely won't do anything.

go ahead and close every hospital in NY because if you ask someone they will have something bad to say.
Example: according to that video circulating NYU should be closed and with that throw in NYU Brooklyn (Lutheran, and cobble Hill) for good measure.
I heard a story once about Lenox hill so let's shut down the whole northwell system.
You see the problem here, changing ownership or closing them down won't help. Yes there are bad apples in every hospital or should I say in every health care facility in the world. Something needs to be done I agree but that's not it.

I agree there is bad in every system, the question is when the system is bad throughout.

No one is saying to shut it down, what I am saying is; there needs to be a boycott on hospital system that behave the worst.  I am guessing like every buisness the profit/survivability  % is a very small % of thier buisness and if they face even a small boycott it'll force them to make change.

Once those are better move on to the rest.

This is basics in capitalism.

Keep in mind that in a strained system whatever human shortcomings are already there from before, their effects will get magnified. Stress can potentially bring out the worst in people.

You’re raising a different issue, or at least a different aspect of the issue. The fact that hospitals are run as (for-profit) businesses is potentially an issue in its own right.

are you kidding me? This is a quote from you

They should be put out of buisness

How about people thank the doctors, nurses, etc that put their own lives and the lives of their families on the line for the community, often after the pt or somebody else acted irresponsible? Would be nice to be on the front cover of the local papers because 1000 people crowded the surrounding streets (with social distancing of course) with signs of thanks and encouragement to those people actually saving lives.

That was not my point.

Regardless is it's run as for profit or non profit, they still have P&L statements that need to be explained to a board or agency.

I know first hand of a big non profit hospital that actually looks at thier numbers down to the patient [when the numbers are big].

People should thank doctors and other medical workers for sure. Calling people out to the streets at this hours is probably not the best way to do this.

But that makes sense to me. If you’re working with limited resources you have to make sure you’re allocating those resources in the best way possible. It’s important we don’t start doing that before we have to, but once you’re at that point then you definitely should.

If you’re talking about an after-the-fact review so you learn from experience to become more efficient, why not?
