[QUOTE="vexheadroom, post: 4978183, member: 70924"] And smokers (or ex-smokers) don't get cancer treatments either? What about diabetes type 2 patients, since that condition is also strongly tied to life-style choices? Instead, how about we have everyone fill out some sort of "pre-hospitalization" questionnaire. The document lists out all the drugs and treatments one is likely to receive if admitted to a hospital. Not COVID-specific, or anything like that, but rather a document which covers at least the more common ailments which might result in hospital admittance. Then, one has to "check" the boxes on all the drugs or treatments they are "OK" with, as well as the ones they are "not OK" with. Just to keep things humane, one can change their mind after being admitted, but then one has to pay full list price for everything. This would go a long ways towards freeing up hospital capacity. Presumably, folks would do as much research on the details of hospital treatments as they do regarding vaccinations. Some of these folks, now being much better informed about the details of hospital drugs and treatments, will just steer clear, and head over the local Feeder Supply instead. Others will still agree to get admitted, but the ICU beds might get freed up a whole lot faster if most treatments were not "OK'd", as many critical patients will die off faster. Folks would do well to better educate themselves on what really happens in hospitals, regardless of COVID. Most folks end up in one sooner or later. Better to document what is and is not "OK" well before being delivered there, in a semi-conscious state, after a heart attack. Or from hypoxia caused by Coronavirus. It is hard to think clearly when hypoxic. [/QUOTE]
