"Emergency medicine physicians under contract with Valley Health in Winchester, Virginia, said they were blindsided by the news that the health system planned to end their contract and partner with a private-equity owned practice management company instead."

Hadeel a besoin d'une certaine somme qu'elle n'arrive pas elle même à calculer tant les prix fluctuent chaque jour.

S'il vous plaît même la plus petite somme peut apporter énormément.

@hadeel_2026

D'après Hadeel, l'hôpital de #MSF le plus proche serait à au moins trois quart d'heure en voiture. Faute de moyen de déplacement et de pouvoir les faire venir, et dans l'attente de trouver une solution, elle a besoin de se fournir en médicaments capables de traiter la diarrhée et faire face aux douleurs. Ainsi qu'en eau potable en quantité suffisante pour faire face à la déshydratation.

Pouvez-vous svp partager ce message voire faire un don svp ?  🇵🇸🕊️🙏

Bonsoir cher #Fediverse

Hier, grâce à vos partages et à votre générosité, mon amie @hadeel_2026 a pu se fournir en médicaments pour sa fille Jouri.

Malheureusement, son état ne s'est pas amélioré. Pas encore et pire il empirerait, la petite faisant dorénavant de la fièvre.

Hadeel a porté Jouri à l'American Hospital, le plus proche. Malheureusement, ils ont refusé Jouri et lui ont dit d'aller à un hôpital privé. Une employée a même prix un ton paternaliste avec Hadeel lui avançant qu'il n'y avait pas de traitement valable disponible et leur a refusé la délivrance d'antidouleurs.

Comparison of the analgesic dose of intravenous ketamine versus ketorolac in patients with chest trauma: A randomized double-blind clinical trial - PubMed

Ketamine can be an effective analgesic in patients with chest trauma in acute settings with or without rib fracture.

As I was making coffee this morning I remembered a particularly funny exchange I had with a guy I was working with when we had to go to a fairly remote part of the South Shore on the coast in the middle of a hurricane.

Don't Waste the COVID Crisis

As the U.S. heads back to 'normal,' we should never return to the old way health systems were run
