So before 1/20/21, my local hospital declared that they had too many Covid patients to continue elective surgeries, and decided to close ORs for elective case starting 1/25/21. Causing panic and fear. Then just yesterday 1/26/21, the hospital leadership totally reversed the decision citing the Covid patient numbers are “projecting to decrease”.(not really decreased but they can smell the trend to decrease?!)
Now we are open for elective surgical cases.
Too much confusion in staffing and schedules, and absolute disbelief and lack of confidence in medical community.
Yes, I live in Dem governor state and my city is flaming left.
