Why have we polluted ALL our hospitals with Covid, so that people are scared to go get checked, for Cancer etc.
Why could we just have used Night ingales for covid, and left most hospitals free of disease??

The Nightingales were set up as overflow. They were designed to take patients who were intubatated and ventilated, yet with minimal complications.
Many covid patients have needed lots of critical care intervention such as heamofiltration, inotropic support, prone position, MRIs and CTS to mention a few. Not to mention ECHMO. These are available in all NHS trusts (with the exception of ECHMO). Whereas the Nightingales are essentially a field hospital set up in a conference centre.
So that is why covid patients have been treated in NHS trusts, it's because it's the most appropriate place to provide safe and effective care.
I don't like the word "polluted" myself. It's just a consequence of the pandemic.
Some of the Nightingales have been put on standby but others are now being used to carry out some cancer screening procedures to get rid of the back log.
I have to go into hospital next week. I'm having a horrible procedure and not looking for to it at all. I'll have to be on my own because of the new covid rules but they are in place to protect me, just as they are there to protect everyone else.
The infection control measures are far stricter in an clinical setting in comparison to a supermarket for example. So be reassured that the chances of catching covid from an outpatient procedure are now very slim.
If they weren't I wouldn't be going in myself next Mon.
I hope that answers some of your question.
Take care.
I agree Happy tulip.
Wishing you well and all the best for your procedure.
