4 thoughts on “Many Hoosiers in limbo as pandemic causes delay in elective surgeries

  1. My aunt is in similar situation. She needs surgical procedure on her mitral valve(heart valve), now has heart failure and has started requiring oxygen continuously since told 2 weeks ago the hospital put hold on her type procedure. She is declining while in this limbo, waiting to have the surgery.

  2. Hospitals mandated out so many staff, is only reason a small increase in Hospitalizations from virus related, is cast as the reason, but by their own mismanagement.
