If there was a medical reason for waiting … like waiting for his vitals to stabilize.

So, surgeons and operating rooms are booked up by COVID patients?

Considering that Ben Taub, the main county hospital, is in the middle of the largest medical center on planet Earth, I should think yes. Memorial Hermann is literally right next door, and there are 15 other hospitals within a few blocks.

But those hospitals aren’t free for someone with a county “gold card.”

And, no, the ICUs are not at 100% capacity. Whatever the reason this guy isn’t in surgery, it isn’t covid.

County hospital and free health care maybe? You don’t really expect anyone to have to pay for medical service unless they’re anglos, right?

No, All of the hospitals are full. They are canceling elective surgery unless it’s same day surgery. Hip and knee replacements are on the back burner.

There is no other place but out of state. Houston has been the transfer area for Austin for weeks.

I spoke with an ICU nurse on Wednesday for a large hospital within commuting distance of Austin. She said don’t schedule your heart attack any time soon because you will not get a bed. They have no beds.

Spoke to a life long friend on Thursday who’s daughter is a nurse in Abilene and they have no beds. Another relative and nurse say they have no beds in Dallas.

Hearing the same with San Antonio. Texas is getting hit hard with Delta.
