Shes just stressed out and attention seeking.
God bless Medical workers- I didn’t say god bless her. Read more carefully if you want to correct someone.
@LeeMary Coziar got it.
I pray for the people who are trying to get treatment from the pandemic and hopefully get the help they needed 🙏🏽😔

@L T I mean she’s making some pretty substantial claims. If they investigate themselves and find no wrong doing in light of those accusations are you really surprised?
@Brianna O’Donnell they didn’t investigate themselves. HHS did. And plenty of people who actually work there spoke out against the claims she made.
It is entirely possible that she encountered a physician who was lazy enough to tell her he didn’t want to go in to re evaluate thier patient. Or some nurse or resident calling some area the pit and being off handed about calling some area the pit. It doesn’t mean that is policy, or standard practice. That means you take names, dates, times, witnesses names and phone numbers medical record numbers, that way out side investigators like the nursing board or medical board or adult protective services have just cause to looks specifically at the problem. The Facebook isn’t the appropriate place to place these concerns, Because if indexed a problem exists, it gives plenty of time for the situation to be covered up.
This woman didn’t seem to do that in listening to and watching the full video and her follow up video. She in fact later says her purpose was to “spread fear” to make people wear masks…
People that are afraid make stupid decisions . It would be best to spread informed awareness. Making people afraid of seeking healthcare or distrust entire medical institutions due to a few bad actors is a disservice to an entire region, and will cause more long term bad effects of people delaying seeking care, and making more patients that come in way too late to save them.
Once again, another situation where people are being shown that there is preferential treatment being offered to some, but not all. So much for the Hippocratic oath that doctors have to take, to do no harm. Nurses deserve all the credit, all the glory, God bless them. Because they are the true heroes, the true patriots on the front lines.
Some of the nurses are demons tooo!
It’s not the doctors it’s the people above them. Doctors are limited as well as nurses.
Not all nurses are good tho either a huge chunk of nurses are VERYYY mean. It’s everywhere. Luckily we have a real woman un afraid of using her voice as a nurse to tell the truth .
@Lola Lyons whatever dude. She got greedy and got in over her head.
Lawanna Rivers I’m praying for you ma’am.. this is heartbreaking 💔… and the sad thing about it is there are so many people that’s not taking Covid-19 seriously 😒…
@L T SHE’s NOT LYING! you all have to learn to stop just going by whatever the news says, as the owners behind it are the key to the eugenics agenda! If you really want to know the truth, you need to do some hours of research soon, as they are trying to sensor info put out exposing their death, depopulation agenda
Yes I agree. I was just saying the media and governments all A LIE/ALL LIES. Yes for the satanic now depopulate the poor first UN nations agenda 21/WAKE UP PEOPLE @ROSE Amcgruder
@ROSE Amcgruder COVID is a lie
@ROSE Amcgruder are you from the el paso area at all? Or ever visited?
@ROSE Amcgruder well I ask if you know the area, but there is no eugenics agenda.
I’ve never said she’s lying. I’ve said that most likely she didn’t ask or advocate for her patients to understand why care was going the way it was. If any area of the hospital was off handedly being called the pit, or some resident physician didn’t wanna go re assess thier patients and said they weren’t going in the patient care area, that was something she should have addressed with administration or the medical board or adult protective services.
The population is predominantly hispanic, and the patients involved were hispanic mostly.
If there was a eugenics agenda, I’m pretty sure we would have noticed . Lots of hispanic people around here to notice and plenty more in positions of leadership to act upon such a thing Goin on.
Watch mrs rivers follow up live stream video. She specifically said her purpose in her video was to “spread fear ” for people to listen and wear masks and social distance .
She seemed sacred, stressed and seems to be attention seeking.
I PRAY FOR THE WORLD…and she’s a hero.

https://www.ktsm.com/local/el-paso-news/umc-traveling-nurses-claims-unsubstantiated-after-inspection/
@Jerry DeLoza totally agree.
@Jerry DeLoza From my extensive research, relationship and experiences her claims validate many true facts! A person who feels like they’re having trouble breathing and/or anxiety/ panic attacks/cold/sinus/flu symptoms should not automatically be put on a RESPIRATOR as hospitals are doing! NO finger oxygen level test and NO “OXYGEN” via the oxygen tank in which you see everyday people walking around shopping, and etc. attached to them? If you research, you will find that putting people on a respirator in this case is a method to ensure the persons death and say it’s COVID. The hospitals along this death pathway prolong things to drain/embezzle federal $$, while they further indoctrinate citizens with massive fear to make them do whatever the powers that be says they should do. Wearing a mask has no medical benefit regarding catching bacteria/viruses and Those true facts are/have been further VALIDATED during the few weeks in time in which “THEY MURDERED MY NEPHEW” last week! Their MOTIVE is $$$ and DEPOPULATION of primarily so-called Blacks, Indians and Hispanic people! The so called white European people who control the earth, know they are approximately 20yrs of being the minority ethnic group (I believe they already are), are using COVID as an agenda to “MASSIVELY and INCONSPICUOUSLY” get the job done! Thus they publicly appear to be good guys concerned about saving lives and humanity. They know a lot of people’s lives are so bog down with trying to deal with stresses (created by the powers that be) of making a living and surviving and they are not going to take ample time to research the truth, and I’m not talking about a “QUICK” Fact Check lookup via Google! I’m an older woman and I guarantee u I have seen the massiveness of folks turning their heads to doing legal and moral truths to keep a paycheck! This attitude is “EXTREMELY” massive. The employees that will stand up for the truth, are most times labeled as crazy, conspiracy theories etc.! I plead with you all to use your down time to do extensive research. The more whistle blowers that come out, the more the powers that be are going to delete evidences that expose their wicked plan and intensions!
@ROSE Amcgruder So true. God bless you
May God and Goddess bless each and every one. Sending healing energy and love.
This is really sad. I am studying nursing and this really just made me anxious.
@Amrcn Cpprhd id prefer she’d have taken down some medical record numbers and actual names, dates and occurrences, maybe even some audio of her asking the staff to reevaluate patients, and formally sent a complaint to adult protective services and the nursing and medical boards, and hell, even the texas dept of health, or HHS
The hospital is likely not all bad and likely not systematically bad. In her follow up interview, she specifically said her intent was the “spread fear” as a tool to make people do the right things.
Last time I checked when fear is used to control people, that’s the beginning of something truly horrible. Plus when people are scared, that’s when stupid actions happens.
Spreading useful awareness would be best the the bad parts of the problem can be identified and removed or fixed. As of yet, we have yet to see a specific publicized instance where the alleged doctors or any administration has been reprimand internally or publicly.
So with the delay of those appropricate entities not being notified, and her posting on face book instead of putting it in their hands with specific information on where to look for problems , you are right, stuff like she was talking about could definitely be swept under the rug. The way she reported this on Facebook gave all allegedly involved time to cover up any situation that could have allegedly existed.
The situation sux, but we are all in this together.
It’s a level one trauma center and a backbone of care in the region. People being afraid of seeking healthcare is make more people sick, more patients that come in too late to be saved , and make bigger problems for everyone.
@L T Spreading fear is definitely not the way to go but making the public aware of what she witnessed seems like a pretty reasonable action to me. I agree that official complaints should have been made to at least have records of what she alleges for future reference but I don’t think that would’ve caused a quick solution to the people dying.
Yes all that identifying information would lend more credibility to her claim but it would also cost her her nursing license and possibly incur legal charges due to HIPPA laws.
I hear where you’re coming from and I appreciate you going into detail about what you think she should’ve done. I agree with a lot of what you said. It’s just that I’ve worked in the administrative departments of medical facilities and I can tell you that even without a pandemic, hospitals can get away with giving inadequate care even if it’s reported to the proper places. As it stands now, nearly all hospitals are under a great deal of strain and are barely able to keep up with the influx of covid patients. The last thing the medical board or any type of authority in the medical field want to do is add more strain to an already dire situation by forcing change to a policy that can easily be deemed necessary for the good of the majority of patients.
@Amrcn Cpprhd
I also appreciate your candor in this discussion of this situation. You’ve maintained civility despite our differences in opinions. I respect that.
Hippa doesn’t apply when filing complaints to the nursing board. The more detail the better. mrn numbers, phone numbers of witnesses, full names are encouraged.
Check the site for procedure to report . 24/7 adult protective services are on call for serious life threatening conditions like she alleged she witnessed and walked away from. Police, if notified, would have been liable for reporting this immediate threat to life as well.

@L T I’m aware of that. I read your previous message wrong. I thought you meant she should’ve released that info to the public. My point is they wouldn’t do anything and neither would the DA to change that hospitals policy any time soon unless there was public pressure or lawsuits from family of those patients. Neither of those things wouldn happen unless they were made aware of what was going on.
@Amrcn Cpprhd true. Legal actions like that take time. Her Facebook post a day other two after the fact of leaving el paso and rushing back home didn’t change anything either to date that has been brought to light publicly that I have heard. Regardless, I hope mrs rivers does well elsewhere. All these times has been stressful on most healthcare workers.
THANK YOU LAWANNA FOR PUTTING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE….MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Wow! My husband was tested Covid19 positive. He never got treatment. His coughing was horrible! I stuffed him and myself with Caribbean 🇦🇬 medications: Prayer, ginger, garlic, lime and VICKS😐. He’s Covid19-FREE today. We didn’t sleep one night apart. I got tested 14 days after he got better. I tested NEGATIVE. ALL GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! Prayer works people, Just Do It!🙏🙏🙏
GLORY TO GOD🙌🙌🙌🙌
I praise God with you glory to God
Yes I had COVID-19 and that help me recover. Eucalyptus tea with garlic, onions,ginger, lemon. I also theraflu and motrin.buy an oximerter too to measure oxygen level and heart rate.
@forevercreativa Bless the Lord!😄 Congratulations to you! God is good!🤗❤️
Thats good stay safe
Aww I know how she feels. I am a Travel RT and it is ridiculous how the doctors won’t grown up and go in and assess their patients properly or help in codes! I personally have had this happen and it was almost too much. I still am considering leaving the healthcare field. Bless your heart and I applaud your bravery!
Get names dates, witnesses and report. Otherwise, you are just as guilty and complicit.

RT here also of almost 10 years. I’m taking a COVID assignment on Texas this week and looking to make a bunch of money then that’s it, burning the scrubs, throwing out the stethoscope. I’m done!!!
Please keep yourself safe-the work you do is heroic.
Welcome to Africa. Where all the medical supplies is stretched to limits. But the cruelty you describe is common among South African among nurses.
Is it true that the patients who die from COVID, the hospital receives a substantial amount of money if it’s on the death certificate?
Yep
And more if they were intubated
Salute to this Nurse…Leaving is the best choice, Morals & Mental conscious should come over everything unfortunately america health system doesn’t have it, preserving one’s mental state is key as a Nurse!
LORD BLESS THIS WOMAN AND KEEP HER SAFE 🙏 AMEN 🙏
God bless u, Lawanna. U are a good human being. Thank you both for sharing this with us.
