Sure kill the rest. CNN had a young man on this morning who had been scheduled for surgery on Aug 4th to remove very suspicious/cancerous lymph nodes in his neck. His surgery has been put off until the 18th. No guarantee it will be on. He says he can feel that the lymph nodes are getting bigger... This may well be his life at stake. I hope someone somewhere invites him to a hospital outside of Texas now. This. The media needs to stop calling them "elective surgeries" (even though that may be the term hospitals use, and might even be the technically appropriate term) and start saying "non-emergency surgeries" so people quit thinking it's all boob jobs and tummy tucks that are being postponed. Some of that "elective" stuff is real important and not just a "nice to have" sort of thing! Yes, my dh had a double knee replacement postponed last year. Not an emergency procedure, but still needed surgery. |
