Supersonic 49,376 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 As the 4th wave of Covid-19 infections is starting to calm down, which proved to be catastrophic for Germany's health care system, the situation in German ERs and Intensive Care Units is still tense, with a full triage seeming to become inevitable as Omicron is going to spread and become the dominant strain. Cancer patients already have been "silently" triaged due to shortstaffing in hospitals and the dire situation the Delta variant has caused: According to RND two thirds of all German hospitals have no capacities to accomdate new cancer patients anymore, Cancer patients who have been diagnosed in early stages are not allowed to start their treatment, in order to make room for more Covid-19 patients. https://www.rnd.de/gesundheit/stille-triage-auf-intensivstationen-krebszentren-warnen-vor-negativen-folgen-fuer-krebskranke-WY4MML23US4WOL6L4XVZ7L2TGQ.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend who's working in intensive care told me in November that 8 out of 12 beds at his station are occupied by unvaccinated patients. If only there was something to avoid severe covid symptoms.

Rj Barker 3,331 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 This is so sad, there's so many deaths occurring as a byproduct of overwhelmed healthcare systems. They're doing the same in the UK, my friend couldn't get an appointment for 4 months, he finally got seen. Stage 4 colorectal cancer. He is 30...

s1d1c1u1 78 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I've been cancer free for 5 years, but they found something in last mammogram and was supposed to be retested 6 months later. That appointment has been rescheduled 3 times. I still haven't found out if my cancer is back. New appointment is in January if things go well, but it will probably be rescheduled due to lack of employees or space with Omicron variant hitting us hard.

Chromatography 10,186 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Can’t start treatment in early stages? Wtf? That’s a death sentence in most cases then especially if the pandemic isn’t going to end for a couple of years. Wow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is a cancer patient not the priority then?

If u smoke for example ur repeatly warned ur chances of getting cancer especially lung are way higher But yeah getting a vaccine is super easy. They should be at the bottom of triage if they chose not to Ps: i think u understood @Poker comment backwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
