Today I am thankful for anger.
I lost my fourth former patient to an overdose since Governor Polis shut down the state and instituted policies which halve the number of beds available in rehabilitation centers.
I lost a high school chum this morning due to an untreated health issue.
A little over a month ago, I lost my aunt due to a hospital discharging her early to make room for covid-19 patients. These patients never arrived to clog the hospital system.
My anger is mounting.
To keep things fair, in all my networking, I have met countless people who have tested negative for Covid19.
I only know of one person who tested positive. She is an RN who is a friend of a friend. I never met her. I asked about her and learned that she was working more hours than usual due to the shut down.
That appears to be part of the problem: some people are overworked while a vast majority of people cannot keep busy.
So....I wish the CDC kept track of people who died due to a lack of health care.
Maybe - that'll be a wish for the bay candle or the prayer to Asclepius.
This nightmare is getting worse.
It must change soon or you'll see ol' Siegfred outside with a clipboard collecting recall signatures.
