In many states, they quite literally outlawed elective surgery, even where there wasn't a patient overload. And in some cases "elective" surgery are things like blood transfusions for leukemia. And then you also get late diagnosis of deadlier diseases like heart disease and lung cancer because people are afraid to go to the hospital.
I suspect the waiting room issue could be solved by queuing people up electronically and texting when they're ready to see you, while you wait in the car outside, to minimize exposure to other sick patients.
- Klinky 6y agoYes, I should know because my surgery was "outlawed"(seriously?), and had to be rescheduled. Was not clear how effective lockdown would be, needed time to get COVID testing facilities operational, so anyone coming in had been screened ahead of time, also some states were sending resources to states more heavily affected. Also your electronic solution sounds like it'd take months to implement. Why didn't you code it up and offer it to your doctor's office?
