Ventura County nurses from differÂent sectors and specialties are coming forward to blow the whistle on what they deem serious lapses in local health care practices, mostly related to COVID-reÂlated protocols, âvaccineâ mandates and politically and financially motivated bulÂlying of medical staff, which these health care workers say is seriously compromisÂing the general quality of local care.
The Guardian spoke with multiple nurses of various ages and at different stages in their careers, all of whom work in medical care settings or hospitals in VenÂtura County. Each preferred to speak unÂder a pseudonym for now. Each described seriously declining standards of care, atÂmospheres of intimidation and fear in hospitals, and distrust and disillusionment among medical professionals.
