re: Here we go : OLOL pauses scheduling of new non-urgent, inpatient procedures

My wife just finished 3 12-hour shifts on the OLOL Covid unit. She also worked in it last year during one of the first surges. She says this latest surge is no joke. Younger patients with worse symptoms than before. People dying daily. We are far from Covid fear mongers and I’m so ready for this to be done- but some serious issues are going on. Will the system be overwhelmed? I doubt it. But there’s definitely enough happening for JBE to roll some things back- I say that because we’ve seen how he’s made decisions in the past. Don’t think he won’t do it again. I seriously hope not- but we all know how he thinks and reacts.

My source who works in admin at another hospital in Louisiana (Not OLOL) says that yes, covid admits are definitely up. But the patients needing hospitalization are the same type of patients who needed hospitalization during the last surge (obese, HTN, diabetes). He also said that the patients are requiring a shorter length of stay due to treatment options and are overall not as sick. Of course, there are outliers in each demographic (the young, healthy 30-40 year old needing hospitalization) but that those cases are definitely not the norm.
