There was recently a lady posting on TOTV whose husband had a stroke (or smoother event) and had slow response at the hospital emergency room. I felt for her, my brother (78) in Texas just had a stroke and care was slow also - in Texas.

The staff was thin and exhausted and still not recovered from the massive work load of unvaccinated patients they were swamped with. I don't know if that is what this ladies situation was, but I do know my doctor at the VA has told me the same was true there. I recently (a few weeks ago) had to go to the emergency room at the VA in Gainesville, and spoke with many of the nurses and doctors there, and they were completely exhausted. Again, because they had been over run by patients that had NOT been vaccinated.

I don't know all the stuff people talk about here, and I don't know enough to say if I should or shouldn't get another shot, I just do what my doctor tells me to do. I feel it is the least I can do to help them provide the care and treatment I need more and more often as I get older. To me it is about being a good neighbor.
