It’s not but the bonus is if they get sick enough most will get such substandard care their odds of making it are laughable.

This state doesn’t have the medical resources for any of this, by miles. Though somehow we scored a shit ton of masks. But they don’t have the beds, or the equipment. To give you an example to get certain biopsies I have to go to Seattle or Denver because there is no facility in the state that does them. We are taking routine ones, nothing highly sub specialty.

Medical in this state is a joke and it’s why I have been forced to doctor in Denver and the east coast, for yeeeeears.

I had to get treatment for the most basic, rudimentary asthma out of state.

Good luck rich folks, cause I get you think population wise it’s great to be here but if you get seriously ill, you had better odds in LA where they see weird shit and Respiratory diseases every single day. Where doctors are being trained round the clock on this.

As a cardio pulmonary patient with a Nero disease, I would rather take my chances with this in any major hospital on earth, with supply issues, than a place where there is no training and standard medical equipment hasn’t hit most hospitals. IE most hospitals here don’t have their own CT machines etc and it’s why we all drive to one of 5-6 cities!

So many people don't understand this about rural areas and the limited resources available. I have a family friend in Montana who is going through dialysis and he has to drive so far in order to get his treatments. It's heartbreaking, and when/if he gets the slightest illness it makes everything so much more difficult.

Sending good vibes your way, hang in there.

Good vibes to your friend since I'd imagine he's getting treatment in Billings which does more medical for the state than anywhere, or Great Falls, Helena, Bozeman, or Missoula then, and each has been getting hit with cases which makes it even scarier. And he can't just park it indefinitely. There is no safe corner left where this hasn't touched it somewhere.

I was fortunate that my cardio work up came back as it did this year, since yet another surgery was in question before it, because i keep thinking of how many people they've had to figure out how to handle surgically in a pandemic. as an aside, if your friend or anyone in the state needs a cardiologist, Dr. Joseph Apostle. Only doctor I have that has been backed up repeatedly in other states. this guy knows his shit in a way few do. Until China happened, he had a bad feeling, he's the guy who goes to conferences once a month, and is forever continuing his education. He's passionate about cardiology and has a thirst for knowledge I wish i could find in a neurologist lmao. He has had telemed set up for years to help his patients so they don't have to drive in the winter. That office has been amazing to me since this happened, and for years before. There are doctors i go to because i have to, and i'm forced to trust them with my life because i'm sick and they're a doctor. I trust that man with my life in every way. Only doctor i can say that for.

I'm lucky so to speak, that as sick as I am, and yeah I'm toast if i get it, but i can duck and cover. I have already had many sobbing session about those who can't, like your friend. you can't ignore dialysis. I thank you for your kind words, and from the bottom of my heart, I extend them and vibes, and prayers, and thoughts, and shit if i thought it would help I'd start rubbing crystals, for your friend. i can run and hide to hopefully improve my odds, he can't. my heart goes out to everyone in those situations. i'm so fortunate that as sick as I am, i get to stay home. everyone else has to stay home because there are people like your friend who can't, and would be dead without daily/ weekly treatment.

You’re right about rural medicine and the limited resources. I grew up in a small town and the nearest hospital is over an hour away. And even that hospital is fairly small, for the more serious cases they are sent to other hospitals across the state.

Also sending you good vibes. I hope you are safe right now.

Thanks bb. I hope you and yours are weathering this as well as possible. <3

Thank you. :)

I live in a major city now, but I was born in a small town in North Carolina and I totally understand what you're saying-in my lifetime they finally built a proper functioning hospital where I grew up, because before it basically just acted as an ER to stabilize patients to transfer them to the next state or as a place to give birth at. More rural areas, including beach towns that only really thrive during tourist season, don't have the resources to support fleeing rich people.

I'm from a rural NC area that is now an exurb and our hospital shut down a few years back because there were too many uninsured patients. Now some people have over a 30+ minute ambulance ride to a hospital. I've moved to a town with a hospital with an ICU, but if I need surgery or care at any point, my ass is going back to Raleigh.

[missing_mile_15]

"Too many uninsured patients" god I hate this country. I have a lot of older relatives still in the state and their best bet is crossing state lines to Norfolk or going to Greenville I guess. I wish they lived closer to somewhere like Raleigh.

[numbedtoe]

I have some people I'm friendly with in NC, SC, and West Virginia, and omg those states, like mine, aren't prepared for this. At all. So many "hospitals" that are bandaid stations. They stabilize if possible, but always ship out.

Let alone all the issues most southern states have with the health and race issues, the finances are just unreal. People don't realize health standards are different by location and if there is no money, there is no equipment, and no doctors. rural hospitals are going to take a beating. i know that everyone is, every hospital, but as much as the hospitals in NYC are being flooded, they have no idea how fortunate they are just because so much equipment they take for granted is right there. But we're all screwed to some degree. If this doesn't kick off M4A i swear to god.....

I hope you and your home folks are doing well.
