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??
This is what I'm thinking. COVID may not kill some people, but it can seriously Fuck up your lungs permanently. Perhaps they found lung damage that made the surgery risky or increased the likelihood of not tolerating general anesthesia or not being able to come off of a ventilator. Some people won't undergo procedures if there is a high risk she won't come off the machine and she'll require a tracheostomy
