Fuck no there is not. They are getting their hours slashed. One person I work with frequently normally leads his dept and has been reduced to wiping down elevator buttons to stay on the clock. There are others that I normally see all the time that have just been not around for weeks. It’s brutal. I’ve asked them how it’s affecting them and they all say they have had to cut back to make ends meet.

Can verify, have some friends and family in hospitals that are working shorter hours because there is almost nothing for them to do. Meanwhile there are people that should be seeing their doctor and are potentially at risk because MSM has them too scared to seek treatment.

Mexico needs healthcare workers too, send them back.

Seriously how don't people see this implication in the defense of excess immigration. If those are all doctors and engineers swimming across the Rio Grande, isn't it selfish of you to deny Mexico and Central America their best and brightest? Why do you hate Central America pro-immigration people?

I always thought it would be better to deport people to shittier shitholes than the one they came from.

If we deported to Saudi Arabia that would stop a lot.

If President Trump said we are going to bring in loads of Doctors from lets say for example Nigeria, they'd all go hysterical that we were robbing Nigeria of doctors and access to healthcare.

Same. I work PRN, so hadn't scheduled anything for a couple of weeks around Easter. (Family time!) I called our Director to let her know I'm available for emergencies when all this started. I don't want to go in when it's like this, but I would if I were needed.

Since then, in texts and calls with coworkers I've learned that their hours are slashed drastically, some of the newer hires haven't gone in for weeks. Hard to believe - we're a pretty big hospital in the area. We are a specialized dep't, so that accounts for some of it because routine procedures are off the board, but still...wtf.
