Or, as in our case, we have ICU beds, but the hospital refuses to take corona cases....

Map wouldn't open on the page, so I have no idea if we are one of those counties. I know most anything seriously life threatening here gets flown out, so maybe no real ICU. Geno

We have ICU beds but only about 7,500 people in the county. Well short of a million.

My mother was an nurse who lived 14 miles from a small central Texas town where she was the Head Nurse and the Operating Room Supervisor and where she put in 80 hours a week for 40 hours of pay trying to keep it from closing while competing with larger city hospitals another 30 miles away to serve several thousand locals under strains placed on hospitald under Bill Clinton.

from your article.... Unfortunately, the market conditions for rural hospitals are unlikely to improve, which means these institutions will need to evolve if they are to survive. In practice, this means that many rural hospitals will need to reset the expectations of their communities about what services they can provide and remain viable.
Communities and patients served by rural hospitals have taken great pride in these institutions. However, as medicine has advanced, they have been challenged to make the investments needed to keep up with the latest technology and retain sophisticated, highly trained staff. And even with these investments, the question is whether they see enough volume to sustain skills and ensure optimal outcomes.

Nature has always used disease and famine to bring populations into balance with their habitat, maybe this is the 100 year reset for humans.
I was surprised how many counties in Virginia don't have a single hospital.

Geno Geno, map shows Modoc, Lassen and Plumas have hospitals but no ICU beds. Sierra and Alpine are the only 2 counties showing NO hospital at all in CA. AZ shows 3 counties with no ICU and 1 county with no Hospital. Sycamore

I took patients for years from surrounding small town hospitals with local GPs on staff who and which finally gave it up after your hero the Zero. The drs couldn't make enough to be worth the lowyer risks and insurance with 50% pay cuts under Zero. They "retired" (quit or moved to big cities and quit taking medicare) and the little hospitals went under.
You can keep your dr if you can drive 250 miles to keep an appt.

Jaguar,
What! Americans responding the the market? Bunch a damned free-enterprise capitalists! Moving on too greener pastures! almost like they studied medicine as a means to a financially rewarding career.
I've lived in a medically over-served area. there were a lot of amenities. weather was nice too. book stores and foreign movies. lots of Universities too.
But it wasn't home.
so now I live in a town with great medical care, because we are the only town of any size for many miles in any direction. We have great outdoor activities and are only 140 miles from a big city (to the south) , 250 miles to the west, or 325 miles to the east, or 500 miles north.
We have lots of Drs here that like to ski, hunt, camp, run rivers and enjoy the outdoors. Judging from the houses they live, they're doing pretty good.

Thanks Sycamore.
Didn't figure on Alpine having a hospital, it's so small. Matter of fact, the population was so low back in the 80's, some gay folks were suggesting a few move up there and "take over" making it a gay run county! Wouldn't that have gotten some panties in a bunch??
I think we actually have two hospitals, there a very small one over the hill in the next big town.
We're getting a new one built as I type this. Not sure if it will open this year, especially with this "flu" epidemic. Don't know if the folks are still working or have been sent home.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Alpine is markleeville, right?
when I drove through, it looked like the rural west, could have been anywhere in the intermountain west. flatbed trucks, welding rigs, and heavy equipment in every fourth backyard. kind of like Silverton, CO

I wasn't sure so I looked at my map. Yep, Markleeville, county seat and about the only town there of any note.
If you've been through it you're one of the few US residents to be able to say so.

Geno My understanding is that community hospitals have to take any patient that shows up. For-profit hospitals do not.

Your buds are having to go to CRNA nurse practitioners because there arent enough Drs after Zero fugged health care, dumbass.
Be a man if you can and own it.
Soon the only Dr you can see will probably be on CCTV.
Fughk your lieberal corksuckers in government. They cut Corona Care today to trash the economy.
You want to make a bet on whether Trump rolls over or puts the dick to them?
Your biltch piglosi tying an abortion bill onto a national crisis Corona care plan and yet you can find nothing wrong with it because you're a lieberal POS.
