It pays to be friends with the president.
President Biden says that he personally reached out to a hospital to ensure the wife of a close friend didn’t have to sit in the waiting room before being admitted because the hospital is “so crowded.” Yes, crowded with other sick America who arrived first and has been patiently waiting to be admitted for treatment only for a “close friend” of the president to be given preferential treatment. The worst part? Biden doesn’t seem to understand or care- why that behavior is disturbing.
Fox News reports:
“Last night, I was on the telephone with a person at an emergency hospital ward in Pennsylvania because a good friend had called, and he had rushed his significant other to the emergency room because this woman was having trouble breathing, had a high fever, and could not catch her breath,” Biden said during a speech in Illinois promoting COVID-19 vaccine mandates for businesses. “They got her into the hospital. The waiting room was so crowded, things were so backed up they couldn’t even get her to be seen initially. So, because I knew this person, I called. I called the desk receiving nurse and asked what the situation was.”
“To make long story short, it took a while because all of the – not all – the vast majority of the emergency rooms and docs were occupied taking care of COVID patients,” Biden added. “I bet every one of you can name somebody who got sent to the hospital with something other than COVID and couldn’t get it taken care of.”
Biden said that he “wasn’t complaining” when he made the phone call because doctors and nurses working in overcrowded hospitals are “getting the living hell kicked out of them, sometimes physically.”
According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, America is experiencing a decline in daily COVID-19 deaths after a two-month steady increase to mid-September.
Let’s not forget that hospitals are also participating in the mass firings over Covid vaccines which contributes to longer wait times for Americans seeking treatment.
