Lifesaving surgeries are once again being delayed because hospitals are overwhelmed with COVID patients.
That has profound ripple effects throughout hospitals, which must divert resources and staff to focus on COVID patients. And the people who work in those overwhelmed hospitals draw a direct line between people’s unwillingness to get vaccinated and the inability to treat their non-COVID patients in the way they deserve.
“When you start moving further up the COVID numbers, the biggest impact is that you have to alter the staffing,” Jimenez said. “COVID patients require a lot more, so as you add more attention, more medical care, more nursing care, more respiratory care, you have to backfill those folks.” “We have canceled elective surgeries that require a stay of longer than one day. We have a lot of patients with cancer who we treat through... and those patients are now having those surgeries canceled. And sometimes they take a year or more in advance to schedule,” Flanagan said. “That’s obviously frustrating, not only for the patients, but for us and for the surgeons and specialists who have seen their patients and who want to treat them.
