Coronavirus sparks dramatic decline in
non-coronavirus ER visits |
|
|
Patient visits to the emergency room have been trending downward since mid-March proving that people are afraid of going to the hospital. Doctors believe it is because people are afraid of possibly contracting Covid-19. As Covid-19 emergency room admissions rise across the country, non-coronavirus patients are avoiding hospitals and seeking treatment at alternative outpatient sites. If people are avoiding hospitals out of fear, it could have long-lasting public health consequences.

Taking Our Temperature:
What’s Your Employment Status |
|
|
Amid the pandemic, it is hard to connect with others who may be undergoing the same types of experiences in the workplace. The pandemic exposure is variable dependent upon your geography. State by state, the numbers of people exposed and/or positive is driving the employment status. It’s difficult to make assertions about the radiology workplace as a whole. Different facilities have different responses to PPE shortages and everything is a “new day” in terms of what’s allowed.
