Also happened in 2017 when the same supplier’s facility in Puerto Rico got hit (the US’s primary IV / dialysis fluid supplier). They already knew this was an issue and never actually fixed it. IV fluids are one of the most basic medical supplies. And if I’m hearing correctly a lot of hospitals aren’t rescheduling elective surgeries (and some electives are necessary / time limited but many aren’t or are even cosmetic). Completely preventable problem that could be being managed better even now it’s happened.

    Sorry like the patients actually assigned to me personally vs the patients assigned to other nurses. I keep getting roped into caring for other people’s patients so they don’t rile up my patients. And then before I know it I’m practically holding up a whole damn unit by myself.
