A Nevada nurse who travelled to New York to help treat COVID-19 patients has posted a tearful Facebook Live video claiming that patients are not dying from the virus, but are being “murdered” by “gross negligence and complete medical mismanagement.”
Nicole Sirotek, a nurse from Elko, Nevada, was assigned to two different hospitals in New York City.
“I am literally telling you that they are murdering these people,” Sirotek says in the terrifying video.
The video begins with Sirotek explaining that every time she attempts to advocate on behalf of one of her patients, management takes them away and reassigns her to another unit. She said that this happened at both of the hospitals she has worked at in the city. “I legitimately don’t even know what to do anymore. Even advocacy groups don’t give a sh-t about these people,” she said. “Black lives don’t matter here.”

This could explain the high death numbers in NY. It should be possible for some real investigative reporter to confirm or denounce these claims. It would be a good read for those who want to know why NY has such large numbers of death?
It's all about the money!!
She’s not the first one saying this. This rule of not allowing family members in is illegal and inhumane. Everyone should have an advocate with them to guard against mistreatment, neglect or medical mistakes.
Reading this article has left me in a state of shock...speechless!
Whoa....whoa
PTSD
Too much stress can make them do that,let not blame the nurses too much.They are also risking their life over there ,let correct them instead.
I heard one of the hospitals she was assigned to was Brookdale in Brooklyn. Anyone familiar with Brooklyn knows Brookdale hospital is in the Brownsville neighborhood which is the worst for poverty, crime in all of NYC. Most if not all of the patients would be minorities. Also anyone familiar with hospitals in NYC know it's hard to find an RN who speaks and understands English. Most are brought in from foreign countries so how they can follow orders from the doctor's has always been a mystery. It would be a huge cultural shock on top of everything else for any American born RN.
And yet no management or advocacy group is listening..... she has been trying to do stuff about it.
Everyone has to realize the hospitals she was assigned to. Lincoln in the Bronx was another. These hospitals are in very low income minority neighborhoods and both have had problems for years. Keep in mind to a democrat blacks are not deserving of good hospitals (or schools as we all are aware of the under performing schools rampant in minority areas. Blacks are not humans to democrats and they are to be seen voting and they can voice their issues but their issues are to NOT be acted upon by the democrat party. The goal of the democrat party is to keep blacks in those chains almost all have never broke free from. Keep them chained up and dependent is the democrat unspoken motto. They are not worthy of anything else expect promises. Keep them nothing but lowly slaves to the government When in the hell will they wise up and stop voting stupidly Because they vote stupidly they have lost all right to complain and they must just suck up their circumstances
This is deplorable. This poor nurse feels so desperate and even though she is an advocate for the patients;she knows that her hands are tied. This should not be happening anywhere in this world but,here in the United States? And the residents and anesthesiologists surely are not real physicians. If these people are legitimately physicians, then they must be investigated thoroughly. Ignorance is not an excuse. If an investigation proofs that all this information is accurate then they should be prosecuted for murder. If the families of these victims were allowed to be by their bedside these alleged events would not have taken place. It does not take a rocket scientist to have the knowledge and follow protocol and how to intervene for a patient who was alive with a heart rate of 40. There is simply no rationale in the world for a resident to have acted ignorant. If the resident is this ignorant then remove him or her from the field. The nurse who fell asleep and whose patient died due to b/p dropping should also be removed from the hospital. I understand that working under extreme conditions especially night shift will cause fatigue but, she had no excuse. How can anyone who is responsible for a life fall asleep on this life and death situation? I truly sympathetize with Nicole. Are there other hospitals acting in this manner? Or is this just occurring in the hospitals who admit mostly low income and non-white individuals? I truly hope that strict measures are instituted to prevent senseless deaths.
