Well, if hospitals are affected by this situation, I am really scared for the next 2 years. And again, it's scary to read about cancellations of "surgeriers" like is something normal. What happened with those patients? Shouldn't be more patients that need surgery because of those cancellations? I really dont want to think about this, because I really dont want to find the answers.

Well the surgeries are elective meaning they aren’t necessary to be alive. Elective surgeries can range anywhere from gallbladder removal to full on plastic surgery. I’m assuming you must’ve read over the elective part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
