Please Don't Fall Until Fall

Don't people know that they're not supposed to get sick in the summer time? At the beginning of July, we had 4 nurses for 6 patients. That's how we like it.

Now for this entire week, we've had 3 or 4 nurses for 19 patients. This really sucks! This is the time of the year when staff takes their vacations and with the typically low census, it works out fine. So now we're short-staffed and the patients just keep coming.

What is going on? I think that it should be a requirement that if people want to fall and break their hip, they should have to schedule an appointment first. Is that too much to ask? :)
