(41,977 posts)Its a four hospital system and We are a major surgery center as well as a hospital that accepts more of the underserved population. We are connected with a major Cancer care center. We have units devoted to highly immunosuppressed patients, such as bone marrow transplant. Chemotherapy.
I work in solid organ transplant. Another immunosuppressed population.
We only have a few Covid right now. But thats because we are carefully managing numbers as long as possible.
AND we are full, as in boarding patients every where there is a nook or a cranny. We cannot accommodate a wave from elsewhere in the state, or out of state. This is a highly vaxxed area (Seattle), so we are not overwhelmed at the moment as is other parts of the state or country, but again, we wont be able to take folks from other areas in, as we have done in the past.
Its a natural triage, if you will
We are waiting though. We know a wave is coming. Another one.
