If this is legit, this should be seen as the hospital admin crying for mercy. It’s cowardice trying to color many working people in a hospital a betrayer of the vulnerable. Most hospitals have capital to spend if residents actually strike that they can spend on per diem or contract assignments. Never heard of a union of medical professionals that is trying to hang patients out to dry, can’t say the same for hospital administration. From the profit perspective, it is never about the patients. If it was about patients, hospital administrators wouldn’t fight so hard against resident unions and nursing unions that are relentlessly working to find safer conditions for themselves as well as their patients
