I need a medical #oncology bed to transfer a 28 yo patient needing to urgently start chemotherapy. Not ICU, preferably #Texas. Please RT, DM. @OncoAlert @tmprowell @AjvictoryMD

Thank you for RT so far, we’ve been trying to get this patient to a hospital w/ chemotherapy capabilities for 6 days now 🙏🏻
Oxygen requirements increasing 🙁

Still working on it w/ house supervisor this morning, no bed yet 🙁
Y’all are amazing 🙏🏻

Denied/ no bed at several places today. Many hospitals on divert: @MDAndersonNews @utswcancer @BCMCancerCenter

Still wait-listed at all hospitals we’ve tried. This person needs to start #chemotherapy soon or will die waiting. If this happens, their death will be an uncounted death due to the #COVID19 pandemic’s effect on hospitals. I will not give up. #MedTwitter
