MICU, NICU and now SICU all covid.
Leaves CCU - roughly 20 beds for non covid ICU. Dire situation. Really, really a bad time to have a non covid medical emergency.
Just consulted on my 7th covid of the day. 1/2 of them elderly DNR, in ICU - beginning to think we are going to have to make tough decisions. Don’t think those pts should occupy precious ICU beds now. Terrible.

How do they decide when a person gets the plug pulled? If they had a DNR....they shouldn’t be on a machine to begin with, right?
