🚨 If You Live In America Listen To This: American Nurse For 15 Years Is Whistleblowing On New Policy In Urgent Cares
“Needs to go viral, urgent cares are becoming one of the most dangerous places in the US health care system, and I'm about to tell you why. Hi. My name is Lindsey. I've been a nurse for the last 10 years and a nurse practitioner for the last 5 years, and I'm here to spill the tea:
So many urgent cares are going towards a policy, which is that regardless of what medical condition a patient comes in with, that they need to be checked in and triaged and evaluated by the provider, which sounds great in theory, but let me paint you a picture.
Say, an older gentleman walks in with confusion, slurred speech, and facial drooping on one side. Normally, the front staff would notify me, hey. We think this patient is possibly having a stroke. Can you come and take a look? I would go up to them.
I'd say, hey. I'm really concerned for you. Let me call 911 so you can get to the ER and get the care that you need that an urgent care can't provide. But instead, this policy binds a provider's hands. So the nurse practitioner, doctor, or PA who is there at that urgent care is unable to do so.
They are now requiring that they are checked in, triaged, and evaluated by them before they're sent to the ER, even though the provider already knows they're going to the ER. The problem is this patient could be sitting there waiting for 30, 40, 50 minutes or longer because that provider may be with another patient doing a laceration pair or an IED, which is completely appropriate and completely treatable in urgent care. But in the meantime, the clock is ticking, and this patient is literally losing minutes on what is the difference between possibly life and death and good outcomes and bad outcomes.
And this all stems from the fact that health care administrators and their corporate greed has grown so large that they care more about a yacht than they do about caring for patients in the way that they should be cared for.
Because this policy is about ensuring that they get the money from that patient going into the urgent care as opposed to the patient being transferred to a place where they can be treated appropriately.
So be careful out there, y'all. If you have something like, you know, stroke symptoms, chest pain, or severe abdominal pain, please don't waste your time nor give your money to the corporate greedy buzzards who are more interested in filling their pocket than they are helping you and making sure you or your loved one gets the care that they deserve.”
