This has been bothering me for a week now.
Customer calls,needs work done to his car at his house. Tells me hes got alot going on cuz his mother in law is coming home to die. She went in for a heart surgery. They found white spots on her lungs and asked if she had covid. She said she had a couple months ago. They told her they cant operate because she had covid and sent her home to die. Unfortunately she didnt even make it home to go with dignity and family.
Anybody heard of this? Why would having recovered from covid prevent a life saving surgery??
I don't have anything worthwhile to add, sorry.
Like you, I'm just sitting here wondering how the fuck this is a thing?
While he was telling all i kept thinkin to myself is that doesnt sound right.makes no sense to me. They do all kinds of surgeries on people with all kinds of issues being present. But having recovered from covid is a no go?
During the height of the mad cow scare, new variant Creutzfeldt Jacob, I know that they were super careful doing autopsies to confirm diagnosis after death because it was a prion disease. Perhaps biohazard was a factor, maybe with a poor chance of recovery from surgery being a factor as well?
But what about those who had Covid and recovered without ever knowing they had it
