The medical profession is worried that
people have put off seeing a doctor or coming in to the emergency room for
medical conditions that demand immediate attention. While many states are coming out of “stay at
home” orders, doctors say there are still far too many people afraid to seek
medical attention for critical care.
Doctors fear that patients who need
urgent care for conditions such as stokes, heart attacks, abdominal conditions,
and bladder infections are not reaching out for help. Moreover in some cases, by not seeking
appropriate, timely assistance, there has been an uptick of people dying at
home or suffering from irreversible damage caused by the lack of medical
intervention. Reports out of Spain, one
of Europe’s hardest hit countries “found that the number of heart attack
patients treated in healthcare facilities has plummeted by 40% since the onset
of the virus.” Hong Kong had similar
reports.
This is why hospitals and care
providers around the country want to reassure the public that they are doing
everything possible to keep you safe from catching the virus while getting the emergency
care you need. In fact most medical
centers and hospitals have completely separated potential COVID-19 patients
from the general public. To ensure you
get the critical care you need, healthcare providers say it is “crucial that
patients identify key symptoms early and call 911 as soon as possible,
regardless of the pandemic situation”
