In 1991, President George Bush designated March 30th as National Doctors Day. This year, that’s taken on an even more special significance, and I’d like take this opportunity to say Thank You to all the doctors, and nurses, and other healthcare professionals who are right now putting their lives on the line to save as many people as they can.

I did not know this was the day. They certainly deserve to be recognized, but more than one day a year. Here’s to all the health care heroes from the ones who clean and sanitize everything, all the way up the line to the doctors.

Kim can you tell me about this report?
… health care systems are preparing even more horrific measures. The states of Washington and Alabama are activating statutes that would allow them to deny lifesaving care to the mentally disabled.
A lawsuit filed by the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program noted that the state’s emergency plan for ventilator rationing “specifically singles out and excludes certain people with intellectual disabilities from access to ventilators in the event of rationing… Hospitals are ordered to ‘not offer mechanical ventilator support for patients’ with ‘severe or profound mental retardation’… This policy also applies to children.”
Thanx chuq

I don’t know about Washington, but in Alabama those were guidelines set forth in 2010. Thankfully there are new 2020 ones in place that have taken out that language and basically leaves it up to the doctors. The news guidelines say in part: “All people are deserving of equal respect and with this in mind, the allocation of care cannot discriminate…”
