That they aren’t isolated unless it’s severe? This may be the wrong website to ask (I suspect RNs may know better) but is this typical for those in the know?
Took my mom to the ER last night for sepsis and found out this lady was Covid + and was being told to sit among the masses. After sitting w mom for five hours and this lady has been there a couple of hours or so. No isolation, simple mask and that’s it. And the woman herself felt bad about being told to sit with us and she was hugging the wall and going into this little cubby where they take VS. I totally created a scene because I felt that my concerns where falling on “I don’t care” ears of the staff. They have no isolation rooms they say. And I say why can’t y’all put an M95 amd they say “has she been fitted”? It didn’t end well.
I only see Covid patients in their isolation rooms when I go down there. But I don’t really go check out the lay of the waiting area and clearly made assumptions that they are isolated like they are in the back.
Are we doing this in 2021 two years in?
