SACRAMENTO - A Texas man who waited until his brain tumour was softball-sized; a baby who suffered an ear infection for six days; a heart patient who died: The resurgence of Covid-19 is creating another health crisis as hospitals fill and patients are fearful or unable to get non-emergency care.
Emergency department use dropped by 42 per cent during the first 10 weeks of the pandemic despite a rise in patients presenting with symptoms of the coronavirus, data from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention show. In the same period, patients seeking care for heart attacks dropped by 23 per cent and stroke care by 20 per cent.
Patients without Covid-19 - either out of fear, confusion or because of difficulty in obtaining the care they need - are again staying home. Dr Fite, who is president of the Texas Medical Association, cared for a baby whose parents waited six days before bringing him in with a severe ear infection.
