Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Abbott postpones elective surgeries

I think they're saying they don't have many beds available.
It is a confusing headline. I had to read it a few times as well.

I had ACDF C5-C6 this morning at the Andrews Sports & Orthopedic Center at St Vincent’s in B’ham AL. Lucky me.
Get well soon brother.

I feel really good to be honest. A bazillion times better than I anticipated.
Damn bro, best of luck with your recovery. I had a C4-5 disc replaced a few years ago. Chronic back pain is the fucking worst.
I had C7 nerve root decompression in my neck a couple of years ago. Nerve pain is miserable. I am praying that your pain resolves completely and that you have a speedy recovery!

It’s not the beds that’s the problem, or the general capacity. It’s, like every other fucking industry, people can’t find workers.
If anyone dies b/c of a lack of care at a hospital that mandated the vax those people should sue the hospital into oblivion.

Kind of makes one wonder why they are firing qualified/licensed workers due to vaxx status.
I am about cross-eyed at this point trying to follow along.

Probably a good decision to make room for all those vaxxed that are starting to fill hospitals similar to what’s happening in Israel, Iceland and other highly vaxxed places.
It’s not the lack of people here In Florida, it’s the lack of beds. We are still doing elective cases, just have to be outpatient. If you can go home after surgery you can have your procedure. Last time we just shut down.
