This is clearly discrimination against those that are wanting to transition.

Who does this blanket? Public hospitals only? Privately owned practices?

Many hospitals have already cancelled elective surgeries. Also the definition of what an “elective” surgery is can be unclear.

This is being recommended nationwide FYI


It’s to conserve PPE because we are critically short nationwide

ETA: also to conserve ventilators in case elective case has complications

My dick enlargement surgery is vital for my quality of life. "Elective", my arse.

I don't give a shite if my entire medical team gets infected with SuperEbolaRona...the show is going on!

We canceled all of ours yesterday.

We told pts we would contact them in 30 days for an update.

It'll probably be longer than that before they're opened back up.

It's also to keep hospital beds open and available.

Haven’t got a call yet, but it was expected. I was scheduled March 31 in Lafayette for an elective surgery that must be performed at LGMC with a 1-2 night stay.

The wife came home last night and said she will start seeing her patients via doxy.me Telemedicine meetings....her clinic is postponing all elective surgeries due to try and not fill up the hospital beds if they dont have to
