They want BOTH sections FULL.



the only stat that should matter is % of covid patients in hospitals


That’s why I said COVID usage for both hospital and ICU beds...

I also mentioned up in the thread, as you correctly state, that ICU usage is supposed to be high. Hell, OR usage is measured by the minute to maximize productivity. In Harris County, I believe that ICU usage was at 95% the same time last year (on phone, so I’d have to confirm later).

I interned in an OR with 22 rooms one summer. in those 3 months i knew the medical field wasn't for me.

18/22 rooms had cases 5 days a week. The others were heart trauma and I believe Gastro, reserved for emergencies.

Pre/post op was full all day, and ICU/CVICU were full or close to it.

thats the lifeblood of most big hospitals. cutting on sick people.
