A woman with a 'very dangerous' brain tumor broke down in tears as she revealed she cannot get surgery to remove it despite doctors saying she needs the procedure ASAP — because the hospital is full of COVID patients.
Amanda Harris, from Portland Oregon, found out she had a brain tumor in October 2021, and was told by her neurologist that she needed to get it surgically removed as soon as possible or it could cause 'irreparable harm' to her brain.
Her doctors are not sure if the tumor is cancerous or not, but because it is 'pressed up against her brain stem' it needs to be taken out immediately.
Unfortunately, Amanda said she is not able to undergo the lifesaving procedure since there are no more beds left in the ICU due to all of the people who are suffering from COVID-19.
Amanda, who works as an artist and woodworker, broke down in tears as she opened up about the heartbreaking situation on TikTok in a video shared at the end of 2021.
'Unfortunately it has been made quite clear that I will not be receiving brain surgery this year to remove my tumor,' she said in the clip, which was posted last month and has since gone viral.
'For those of you who don't know, I was told on October 1 that removal would need to happen by the end of the year to avoid the tumor growing large enough for me to start seeing symptoms which could quite possibly be signs of irreversible brain damage as well as to prevent the tumor from attaching itself more formally to my spinal chord than it already is, and therefore making surgery that much more dangerous.'
According to Amanda, she had been trying to get hold of the person who

Yep, I call BS on this, I have a brain tumor and the surgery can only be performed by a very specific type of neurologist in a very specific setting specific for brain tumors. ICU patients have nothing to do with this surgery, and if for some reason the ICU is full at one hospital, I know for a fact it is not full at all hospitals, particularly a few well-known brain cancer facilities in my own state
Most emergency rooms are staffed with Nurse Practitioners. The medical doctor is available by phone and computer.
Story from Minitrue.
Immediately means October, not January. Probably all kinds of surgical opportunities in Oct and Nov. Wife got her knee replaced in Dec in the midst of the Wuhan/Fauci virus XI variant surge ... they are not admitting people for the virus ... it’s a positive after they arrive and possibly a false positive at that.
Go to another hospital , surprised if so serious her Dr.’s didn’t advice this.
Boo hoo hoo. They’re lying lying lying.
OMG three months ago she found out and NOW it is a dire emergency she get the operation??? Why in the hell did she not get the operation in October when the hospitals were EMPTY???
Portland Oregon..Hmmmm..Let me guess...she's one of the “beautiful people” living off a Trust fund..but can't afford health insurance.../s
Send her to the Mayo Clinic. They are open for business.
either Mayo in AZ or MN. We are having a blizzard with subzero temps. Drive up to Rochester, MN
Too bad hospitals don’t get incentives to perform brain tumor surgery. I feel for the lady but it is hospital policy that is causing this not people who are not vaccinated. If early treatments were not pretty much banned the treatment protocol of “Go home till you need the ER.” would be a thing of the past.

My best friend died because his doctors were too cowardly to see him in person for almost an entire year. This lady’s doctors are just such cowards. She should blame them not the “unvaccinated.”
Actually, they send you to the PACU, before the ICU which is likely empty of Patients because few or no surgeries are occurring so there is no need for Post Anesthesia Care Units.
Is she on Go Fund Me begging for money?
I’ll do it for her....for free....:)
I'm gonna take a guess that she has very attractively priced Obamacare coverage...
Lady, you’re gonna die...
