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??
It's true. Perioperative death rates are higher if one has COVID. American College of Surgeons recommends holding off elective surgeries until after the infection passes. The studies we looked at last summer when they made the recommendations were Chinese and some Korean ones (I think)
