We are REALLY feeling the strain. We don’t have enough ICU beds. Many patients are being intubated as soon as they show up to the Emergency Room. We are doing our best to take care of them on regular floor beds and in the ER itself. But it is HARD...
Some of our sickest patients with #COVID19 really need dialysis, but we don’t have enough machines. We are actively rationing care - something I thought I would never see in our healthcare system...
It is heartbreaking to have end-of-life discussions w/ family members. No part of me was prepared to convey that a family member can’t say goodbye. That their love one would have to be alone during their final moments. I cannot imagine how they feel...how painful it is...
Hospital staff are exhausted & honestly - scared. Our healthcare system is in survival mode...
But I have never been prouder to be a physician in #NewYorkCity. My incredible colleagues - everyone - is rising to the occasion. We are doing our best. We will get through this together.
Our healthcare system is a joke.
Our Nurses & Doctors & staff are not. We must protect them. Stay Home!
I'm sorry but you have no healthcare system, the sooner you realize it the sooner you can start building one
This is true. We have a health insurance system, not a health care system.
Forgive me ignorance here, but why dialysis? I understand its ravaging th lungs but what is happening to the kidneys?
So far the cause of kidney damage from Covid-19 is not known. Virus has been found in kidneys of infected people. Some researchers think that kidneys are harmed by severe reduction of oxygen circulating in the blood stream due to pneumonia.
Just wait til the pandemic hits rural areas, mostly red states. Many many rural hospitals were closed in privatization of hospitals and healthcare. Rural hospitals don't have much advanced capabilities. The failures of our private healthcare system about to be blown wide open.
