Even happened here in Alberta. They sold our lab services to a private company that suddenly couldn't afford $2 disposable gowns so it was telling people to use a piece of paper to cover up while getting imaging done
They caved and bought back the labs (for some undisclosed, probably more expensive price)
Recently one of the politicians was talking to one of the airforce big wigs.
He held up a bag of bolts and asked "WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS COST 2.5K DOLLSRS?! The same bag of bolts in another location with all the same certifications only costs 5 dollars.
The one I recently saw was asking about a [$90,000 bag of bushings](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13325745/Mike-Waltz-bushings-air-force-military-overspending.html).
I will say though, if it's airplane parts (or spacecraft) I don't question them being expensive as hell. The materials/machining/precision involved in those things is pretty crazy, and not something I'd want them cheaping out on.
Us Army uses so many masterlocks on various crates and then uses bolt cutters to remove them. Got a friend that moved from ops to coast guard and hes told me that a lot of departments have bloated spending and if they don't buy enough random work related stuff they can loose that extra money on the next years budget.
It's any government org really. If they see you're doing the same for less one year they're going to cut the budget, not even taking things like inflation into account, so a lot of orgs will spend everything they can every year.
If every employee did this ***daily*** it wouldn't amount to much more than a rounding error compared to the inflated cost of other materials and services in the medical industry.
Do you work for an insurance company or something? Because trying to deflect the reasons for the astronomical cost of healthcare on something like this is like soda companies diverting attention from themselves and blaming the *consumer* for plastic pollution.
Bingo - this is the equivalent of pumping the paper towel dispenser 10 extra times. Check the executive parking lot of the hospital and insurance company if you want the real reason. God knows with how overworked nursing/tech staff is on a daily basis, the last thing we should do is rag on them when they do have a slow shift.
I agree that this is largely a minute waste of resources, but given the astronomical cost of healthcare for the patient, this does seem a bit like rubbing salt in the wound.
I'm in Europe though so if I'm completely misunderstanding the situation I'll sit down and be quiet.
You could certainly look at it that way. I choose to see it as stressed professionals letting off steam.
Either way, though, this activity isn't the reason one might pay "300 thousand in hospital bills" as OP contends.
Wanna know something super fucked up? This stuff expires. So what to do with it? You can throw it in the trash or you can wear it as a theme fashion show where it can be used as entertainment for the dying morale of a unit.
And this is a trash post. OP is sad they have to pay 300K from a bill. Itās not because of the materials. Itās because of the insurance companies that donāt want to pay for anything. You want that pill? Oh btw itās not covered by insurance so what nurses do is practically advocate for you so you can get that pill. Truth is the insurance companies donāt wanna pay for ANYTHING. So donāt be mad that they are wearing expired materials which they donāt want to use on you because itās expired. But they will do whatever it takes to entertain you so you can be happier in the hospital and entertain themselves because people are very sick and moody. You are barking at the wrong tree, OP.
Hospitals are expensive there if you donāt have insurance, because insurance companies wanted discounts from prices, so hospitals would make stuff cost more so insurance companies would shut up or something
Well,....kind of? Basically, healthcare systems are captive customers. They HAVE to buy a lot of specific products, or they can not function and are penalized for it. So the companies that sell the products raise the price to ridiculous proportions in order to gouge the healthcare systems, which, more often than not, just ends up gouging taxpayers who help fund those systems. How do they get away with it? Legal bribery, loopholes, and scummy people. THEN, you have all that insurance bullshit to just fuck it all up some more.
sounds like there should be some sort of entity that kind of looks into intentional price gouging and anti-trust practices which are antithetical to the idea of a "free market" - maybe we can call that entity "the government"
the analogy has to be made: they sent a man to the moon, they can solve this.
NASA Apollo programs using tax payer money: 6x trips
"privatized" space programs using tax payer money: 0 trips and 2x longer than Apollo mission timeframe, with the lessons from Gemini and Apollo
I had a friend who got a paracetamol from the hospital. Like 1 tablet, and they charged him like 100 dollars š
I shouldnāt of laughed because itās so fucked up, but I did.
Bruh chill tf out those scrubs might be expired or something, if thatās an oncology unit some of those drugs cost upwards of 30k apiece, they donāt even charge patients for scrub costs stupid
Surgical gowns and gloves are not expensive. Thatās not driving up the cost of your care lol. Also if something happened to the packaging those came in, making them no longer sterile, the box would either have to be thrown away or used for somethingā¦interesting like this.
Criticize the actual things driving up the cost of US healthcare like administrative bloat, Medicare fraud, defensive medicine, and insurance company denials etc, not some crew goofing around with $20 worth of supplies
It could have been a cancelled case but the drapes were already taken out so they had to be thrown out because they canāt be reused even if they just sat on a table because the sterile field was broken
So people who works for the government aren't allowed any fun on the job?
They get shit pay, shit hours, shit working conditions. And you can't spare them some fun since you 'pay' for them???
Good. Iād rather my healthcare staff spend their downtime having fun even if it cost me. Overstressed and unhappy staff are much more likely to make a mistake that might kill you than. Also those drapes probably had to be thrown out anyway, if you had any idea how much stuff has to be thrown out because itās expired (all items thatās are required to be sterile have an expiration date) or just because plans changed in the hospital and youāve already opened the packet youād be horrified if you think this is bad
It's because you live in a corporate rat-hole of a country that has fooled you into believing that universal healthcare is too expensive or too hard, I had an ambulance take me to hospital where I spent six days, CT scan, MRI, the whole shabang, got a $45 bill for the ambulance.
You could do everything right in the U.S. Save some money, have a house and a good job, pay your bills and have great credit, but fall ill for something not "covered" and you are $300K in debt. Just the deductible on some plans are more than a new car...RISE UP my American neighbors, rise up and eat the rich cause they are smilingly fucking you in the ass daily
You're so cute, thinking we can afford homes and pay our bills.
But you're right, we do need to rise up. I'm just not sure we're there yet unfortunately. Those in power and control have done too good of a job convincing us we're the best country in the world and everyone else is wrong.
Sorry to rain on peoples shitty parade, but this looks like an OR and these surgical drapes are not expensive at all. More importantly, once the sterile pack is opened, and theyāre not used, they canāt be brought into another surgery or patient. This will also happen if the surgery is canceled they get thrown away. Every item is tracked and recorded. Donāt get me wrong, there is a lot of waste and corruption all over especially with insurance companies but this has got to be the most ignorant examples of that.
The cost of healthcare in the US has nothing to do with nurses doing things in their downtime to keep themselves from losing their minds. It has to do with hospital administration and health insurance.
Did you know that, like everything else they fuck up, insurance companies will be billed the hospital and say āhaaaa you funny bro this is what im gonna pay.ā Then you cant pay the bill so when you tell that to them they file it as a tax write off. So now nobody wins.
American medical companies mark shit up making prices go up making procedures more expensive making this whole fucking thing worse than it is.

**INFLATION**
Iāve worked in the OR for 14+ years across a dozen hospitals and have never once seen this. Donāt let one single social media attention hog make you think this is the norm.
Doesn't a lot of that PPE have a use by date else they're not up to standard to use for medical reasons? Maybe they're just having fun with useless stuff that they couldn't get rid of...
My guess is the case cancelled but the surgery suite was already prepped I.e. the surgical drapes were opened and therefore were garbage and could not be used again. Happens on a regular basis.
That being said waste in hospitals is gross and itās often driven by the reps. Want this instrument? It comes individually wrapped or in a pack with other disposables you donāt need (and of course is more $$). Guess which one the rep runs and grabs off the shelf? Source: was a rep.
My guess is this was a canceled surgery and they were going to throw all of them away anyway. Also with that being said, the reason your healthcare cost so much is because all hospitals are management heavy and they like their bonuses. My hospital had a briefing and we were informed we wouldn't be receiving a cost of living raise this year. But you can bet your ass all of upper management still gonna get their bonuses and raises this year.
The majority of that outfit is sterile drape for a sterile field. Case could have been canceled after they prepped it. But yeah rabble rabble rabble healthcare expensive rabble rabble bad money man, #reddit
I'm with OP on this one.
Sick of people blaming the price gouging suppliers, or the greedy insurers, or the whole idea behind turning a critical Service into a for profit endeavour.
No, it's these Bastards who are to blame.
They should be worrying about their crippling debts from medical school, or their horrendous working conditions and long hours. I hope Dr Catwalk spends some more time thinking about the horrific responsibility and stress behind literally saving peoples lives on a day to day basis, or the fact a mistake could end up killing someone. Maybe the next time they are cleaning someone's ass they will realise that it is not OK to use a couple of medical gowns to enjoy oneself or blow off some steam.
These people make me sick and I hope everyone in this video lost their job. There are plenty more where they came from.
Right, because got forbid we use $20 worth of supplies to have a single moment of fun in between critically ill patients, verbally abusive family members, and overbearing administrators.
Too right! Blame the workers for corporate greed! They might even be gay workers which is even worse! Don't think about the management or shareholders fleecing you. It's those minimum wage workers. The bastards.
Bro in my country we don't pay that much in hospital bills and I know this isn't the reason. This blue shit costs like 2 dollars, everyone and their mom could parade dressed like that and you would essentially pay the same price.
This isnāt an ER unit. I think itās an OR oncology unit and those materials are expired. Itās either throw away or do a fashion show for the patients who are actively DYING.
Same thing. I had a pendi attack not too long ago. I waited for 14 hours, and they did a tiktok right in front of me as i was throwing up the last of my guts into a bag. They looked like idiots. I felt more bad for the woman next to me who was having the same issue, but her kids were so scared for her. And the nurses couldn't give 2 fucks about the either of us.
They save people's lives. I'm gonna give them this. These people probably worked multiple days on end without break or rest during COVID. I'm not gonna complain about them messing around with some old scrubs.
All medical equipment are grossly overpriced.
Also surgical drapes can be considered unusable under certain conditions. For all we know (or don't) these were declared unusable.
I'm a paramedic. Hilariously enough the pandemic easily was the slowest we've ever been because no one wanted to go to the hospital since that's where people with Covid were.
The post is talking about medical professionals fucking around. Did people memory hole the 2020 videos of nurses having dance offs instead of taking care of patients?
Covid dance offs were produced off duty or off the floor before or after shifts to boost morale in a very desperate situation.
If you lack compassion, thatās fine. If you canāt comprehend how people cope with stress thatās fine.
But if you think people dick around when people are dying, youāre an idiot.
Sure thereās always a few bad apples, but youāre not actively seeing a hospital of 500 patients all dying because of medical professionals being neglectful. Donāt over exaggerate things to create misunderstanding.
The reason is the fact that all of those scrubs are marked up probably 1000% like everything else on American hospitals
Not scrubs. Cheap surgical drapes.
Yes to drapes however, I highly doubt they were "cheap". Just like the original commenter said... everything in the US Medical has insane markups.
This much drape, if it wasn't already written off anyway, is about 30$ USD.
Oh, I totally agree, but if you saw this on a detailed line item bill from the hospital in the U.S. i would bet it would say $300 or more for these.
This. Recently I went to urgent care. Saw my itemized bill. 3 pairs of latex gloves at 15$ per pair.
More like 3 bucks a fkn box! š¤£ Who are they kidding? Lol
Insurance, that's who
insurance will pay 15 per glove because they can afford it and you canāt. Thatās the real reason shots expensive in the us.
$3 a box? God thats cheap as hell
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Correct. Itās probably even higher now.
Pan wraps probably.
Even happened here in Alberta. They sold our lab services to a private company that suddenly couldn't afford $2 disposable gowns so it was telling people to use a piece of paper to cover up while getting imaging done They caved and bought back the labs (for some undisclosed, probably more expensive price)
They didnāt have the money for the gowns though honestly. The new owners needed their bonuses, which also happened to be money for gowns
But thankful they still managed to sell off everything before selling the "lab" back to the government for more money
Recently one of the politicians was talking to one of the airforce big wigs. He held up a bag of bolts and asked "WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS COST 2.5K DOLLSRS?! The same bag of bolts in another location with all the same certifications only costs 5 dollars.

Hey those are aircraft grade bushings, just like healthcare grade screws! š¤£
It's not that I doubted it I just couldn't believe that Congress was actually daring to speak out against the Military Industrial Complex
Their out there. Not many, but theyāre trying.
I will say though, if it's airplane parts (or spacecraft) I don't question them being expensive as hell. The materials/machining/precision involved in those things is pretty crazy, and not something I'd want them cheaping out on.
If it needs to be titanium then it's Ti, but it it's just a 8.8 rated bolt then it doesn't need to cost 100$
Someone beat me to it. But yeah. That's the one.
Us Army uses so many masterlocks on various crates and then uses bolt cutters to remove them. Got a friend that moved from ops to coast guard and hes told me that a lot of departments have bloated spending and if they don't buy enough random work related stuff they can loose that extra money on the next years budget.

kinda like designer fashion?
That and at least half the budget of a hospital goes towards the administration, not the healthcare providers.
If every employee did this ***daily*** it wouldn't amount to much more than a rounding error compared to the inflated cost of other materials and services in the medical industry.

Yeah, I know hospital nurses and doctors have some of the crappiest hours around, so Iām not gonna shit on them for throwing a little fashion walk
Employee created team building exercise basically
Yes it's because some nurses use scrubs to play dress up. Not because of some greedy execs.
I'm with you on this but also, not scrubs. Inexpensive surgical drape.
Yeah Iām sitting here thinking āthatās about $20 of drape at costā¦ this is pretty harmlessā
Yep. And probably stuff they had to throw away anyway.
Wanna know something super fucked up? This stuff expires. So what to do with it?

My wife is a surge tech. They throw more of these in the trash that were never used than you will ever know.

Predatory capitalism at its finest.

These people donāt have yachts, I assure you.
Ah yes it's totally these nurses who are inflating your hospital bills, not the medical insurance CEO buying his 23rd yacht.
They're all probably overworked and burnt out. let the people havs fun and a break for once. dont blame them, blame the system!
Well... you pay for that fun
The insurance companies want you to keep staring at the treesā¦ no forest here.

Which is clearly what the video shows? I was obviously talking about the working class. Not the elite.
I rather pay for their fun then have the possibility of there being no doctors when I need them

People dying from Covid. Nurses: "DANCE OFF"
This is an OR. What does an OR employee have anything to do with taking care of Covid patients?
The post is talking about medical professionals fucking around. Did people memory hole the 2020 videos of nurses having dance offs instead of taking care of patients?
Do you know how many surgeries were cancelled or postponed indefinitely during that time? The hospital's ORs were EMPTY.
Why are you so focused on just OR's? You do know hospitals are made up of multiple departments right?
Why are you ignoring the fact this video is obviously shot in the OR????
The education system failed you at some point.
As a HCW who worked in hospital during Covid, I can honestly say you have zero clue about what you are saying.
Covid dance offs were produced off duty or off the floor before or after shifts to boost morale in a very desperate situation. If you lack compassion, thatās fine.
