Watching Edmonton City Council hearing from Edmonton Zone Medical Staff Association doctors this morning. Some notes that were surprising to me who is dialed into this everyday... #yeg#yegcc#COVID19AB@EZMSA2
- In 4-5 days current hospital capacity will be overwhelmed as there will not be the staff to man the additional needed ICU beds - they are also not trained properly to administer to ICU patients as they are being re-directed from their areas of specialization.
- Hospital admissions, ICU admissions and deaths are all significantly increasing to where the curve is almost straight up.
- Patients are seemingly fine and about the be discharged then within minutes doctors are calling a code for a crash cart for that patient.
