Doctor Says He Was Coached To Count Deaths As Covid-19 Without Positive Tests
Dr. Scott Jensen of Minnesota, says hospitals get PAID MORE to list patients as COVID-19 and three times as much if patient goes on a ventilator!
Now people are really up in arms about all this, because having accurate covid-19 death statistics help form the response from federal and state government health officials in fighting a particular disease, if they are not accurate, that is a BIG issue.
As for hospitals getting paid more if a patient has to be put on a ventilator, you could argue that that makes sense. It costs more for the Hospital to buy and run ventilators and hire people who have the right knowledge and expertise to run them. But does the monitary discrepancy between those patients on ventilators and those who are not on the life saving machines, mean that Hospitals may put people on them who don’t necessarily need to be on them?
Probably not, if you have ever seen anyone who has been put on a ventilator, it is not a simple or basic procedure. This is not just an oxygen mask placed over someone’s mouth and nose to help them breathe.
Before his death, my father was placed on a ventilator, before he was, the hospital staff told us that it is extremely invasive. And it was. They had an extremely hard time inserting the breathing tube and nothing about that procedure went smoothly or was easy. I wish he had never had to endure it. But they were trying to save his life. This was a long time before all of this COVID-19 business, but it is still the same procedure.
An article from the National Heart and Lung Institute talks about ventilators and their use, just read through this part about using a Breathing Tube from a ventilator to a patient:
The Breathing Tube
A ventilator blows air into your airways through a breathing tube. One end of the tube is inserted into your windpipe and the other end is attached to the ventilator. The breathing tube serves as an airway by letting air and oxygen from the ventilator flow into the lungs.
The process of inserting the tube into your windpipe is called intubation (in-too-BA-shun). Usually, the breathing tube is put into your windpipe through your nose or mouth. The tube is then moved down into your throat. A tube placed like this is called an endotracheal (en-do-TRA-ke-al) tube.
In an emergency, you’re given medicine to make you sleepy and ease the pain of the breathing tube being put into your windpipe. If it’s not an emergency, the procedure is done in an operating room using anesthesia. (That is, you’re given medicine that makes you sleep and/or causes a loss of feeling.)
An endotracheal tube is held in place by tape or with an endotracheal tube holder. This holder often is a strap that fits around the head.
Sometimes the breathing tube is placed through a surgically made hole called a tracheostomy (TRA-ke-OS-to-me). The hole goes through the front of your neck and into your windpipe. The tube put into the hole sometimes is called a “trach” tube.
The procedure to make a tracheostomy usually is done in an operating room. Anesthesia is used, so you won’t be awake or feel any pain. Specially made ties or bands that go around the neck hold the trach tube in place.
Both types of breathing tubes pass through your vocal cords and affect your ability to talk.
For the most part, endotracheal tubes are used for people who are on ventilators for shorter periods. The advantage of this tube is that it can be placed in an airway without surgery.
Trach tubes are used for people who need ventilators for longer periods. For people who are awake, this tube is more comfortable than the endotracheal tube. Under certain conditions, a person who has a trach tube may be able to talk.
This is not a procedure to be taken lightly. It is invasive and only used when absolutely necessary. And patients would probably not agree to such a procedure if it wasn’t necessary for them to continue breathing.
However, money does cause curruption. There is massive amounts of price gouging and unnecessary charges in hospitals and healthcare in general all the time, we are all familiar with it. But I am not sure that Hospitals getting paid more to use ventilators is one of those times. However we should all be on the lookout during this coronavirus crisis. Because we have all given the Government and Healthcare officials a lot of power over us and our liberty is paying the price. So we need to stay vigilant and make sure that we the people, are not being taken advantage of, even more than usual. Because there is a point where it goes too far and we lose what little power we still have, forever.
