New normal

Graphic that reads,

It’s standard practice that males and females share a room in hospitals.

We aren’t permitted to move beds because there is no time for this and it adds extra costs.

This is a huge invasion of privacy. We don’t know what trauma patients face, and different cultural believes are violated for some individuals.

This is a practice that sadly has become the new normal since COVID.
