Healthcare "professionals" inflating covid numbers? Using scare tactics?

Nah.. Couldn't be. smile


Link to story


BY MATT MCGREGOR September 14, 2021


A leaked Zoom conference reveals a doctor questioning how to increase the count of COVID-19 patient numbers on the hospital’s dashboard report.

The media outlet National File said it obtained the recording from an “internal source” at the Novant Health System that includes New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina.

National File posted the video on its Twitter feed on Sept. 10.

National File and other local media outlets that reported on the leak identified the people in the video as Mary Kathryn Rudyk, a physician at the medical center, who is asking Carolyn Fisher, the hospital’s director of marketing, how to inflate the number of people classified as COVID-19 patients for the purpose of generating fear in the unvaccinated.

“I think we have to be more blunt, we have to be more forceful—we have to say something coming out—if you don’t get vaccinated, you know you are going to die,” Rudyk said in the video. “Let’s just be really blunt to these people.”

The video begins with Fisher explaining how her department is communicating “meaningful numbers”—the percentage of the unvaccinated, vaccinated, and percentage of deaths in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)—to the public.

Rudyk then asked how post-COVID cases can be included in the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19.

“My feeling at this point in time is that maybe we need to be completely a little bit more scary for the public,” Rudyk said. “There are many people still hospitalized that we’re considering post-COVID, but we are not counting in those numbers, so how do we include those post-COVID people in the numbers of patients we have in the hospital?”

Fisher asked if she meant every patient who has been in the hospital “since the beginning of COVID?”

Rudyk answered, “Well, that are still in, and that’s something I can take to someone else, but I think those are important numbers: the patients that are still in the hospital, that are off the COVID floor, but still are occupying the hospital for a variety of reasons.”

Also on the Zoom conference call was Shelbourn Stevens, president of New Hanover Regional Medical Center, who said those patients are classified as “recovered.”

“But I do think, from our standpoint, we would still consider them a COVID patient because they’re still healing,” Stevens said.

Rudyk said she thinks those patients need to be “highlighted as well, because once they’re off isolation, they drop from the COVID numbers,” prompting Stevens to say that they can later talk offline about “how we can run that up to marketing.”

Novant Health Response
In response to questions asking for confirmation on if people in the video were employees of New Hanover Regional Medical Center and what the context of the video was, a spokesperson for Novant Health told The Epoch Times that staff involved in the excerpt of the video are seeing the “highest levels of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths so far in this pandemic, despite having safe and effective vaccines widely available.”

“This was a frank discussion among medical and communications professionals on how we can more accurately convey the severity and seriousness of what’s happening inside of our hospitals and throughout our communities,” the spokesperson said. “Specifically, the data we have been sharing does not include patients who remain hospitalized for COVID-19 complications even though they are no longer on COVID-19 isolation, so it does not provide a complete picture of the total impact of COVID-19 on our patients and on our hospitals.”

The hospital continues to be concerned with misinformation, the spokesperson said, and that it strives “to be transparent and tell the whole story.”

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

Interesting. If it truly is as severe and serious as you claim, then you wouldn't have to artificially inflate the numbers.

"There's nobody in our hospitals suffering from unicorn attacks. How can we inflate our numbers to accurately convey the severity and seriousness of what's happening."

US Hospitals are political beasts. I don't trust any of the numbers or data being reported in the US. I look to foreign health ministries for their data as I feel they are more honest. But it takes a lot of work to dig for the answers in order to make intelligent decisions. Something that very few Americans are willing to do.

Several months back my daughter told me that at the huge health facility where she works they were all given and expected to follow formal government authorized instruction on how to "sell" patients on getting the covid vaccinations.

Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Local dirt: This is more proof, shocking proof at that, that liberalism IS a mental disease!
It appears to me that liberals/demonrats are simply depending on lies, deceit, distortions, divisiveness and deceptions to attain/mantain power.
And that is sad.
I fear for the future of this country.

A few years ago a niece was dating a guy going through internship at the local hospital. He told us he was thinking about abandoning medicine and go into something else because "it's no longer about curing someone, but about prolonging whatever they have to bring in more money and spreading it out to as many affiliated clinics and Drs as possible".

He'll just blame hospital administrators as a class, yet continue to cite their cooked numbers without hesitation.
