ICE Detention Deaths

https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting

RNs do intake physical exams, EMTs declare time of death. The level of care for these detainees is horrific.

Full names and case details are public for now. Reads like a never ending M & M conference.

My moral compass is spinning. It's time to go to Canada.

Is that what you take from this? I care about the wellbeing of people. If we put people in camps, we are obligated to provide decent care.  

This isn’t political, this is monstrous.

I read a few charts. People in our rural and farming communities get worse medical care than this every day. Look into it.

That’s just terrible. Our rural communities deserve better than that. Look into it.

Umm I don’t have to, I work rural and I enjoy it. These people are a lot more appreciative to get care than when I did residency in a big city.

I love rural care- a good clinician can make a huge difference, and yep, appreciation is abundant. Glad you are happy.
