The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Order, announced Tuesday and developed by the Baker-Polito administration and the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Association, goes into effect Monday, Nov. 29.
It instructs any hospital or hospital system that has limited capacity to start reducing “non-essential, non-urgent scheduled procedures that may require the use of bed capacity and/or services,” according to the order. The guidance is aimed at preserving capacity for more pressing health needs.
State officials said the changes were due largely to ripple effects of the pandemic, including staffing shortages across the health care system and about 500 fewer beds available statewide in both medical/surgical and intensive care units.
There is also “an unusually high number of patients with other health problems – many of whom were hesitant to seek treatment during the height of the pandemic and whose health issues have become more serious over time,” said Dr. Kevin Tabb, president & CEO of Beth Israel Lahey
In 2020, compensation for primary care physicians saw modest growth. Many physicians either saw slight increases in compensation or met the previous year's compensation. Between 2019 and 2020 total compensation for primary care physicians increased by 2.6% compared to the three and five-year cumulative increases of 5.27% and 10.15%, respectively.
Countering expectations, most specialties had minimal changes in compensation. Despite limited patient volumes due to regional lockdowns and overwhelmed hospitals, surgical physicians saw a compensation decrease of 0.89% in 2020. Nonsurgical specialists reported a decrease of 1.29%.
前两天刚有个卫生部门的人说，虽然最近确诊新冠人数增加，但需要住院的并未增加，大家不必紧张。
另外最后一段话，反对疫苗的朋友们一定会说是疫苗的副作用。

所有入院的病人都必须查COVID病毒，那时还没有疫苗。今年年初开始，疫苗逐渐普及，大概在4-5月时政策改为打过两针疫苗的病人不需要再查病毒了。可是好景不长，七月份Delta开始在美国流行，七月底就又重新开始要求所有入院的病人必须查病毒，不管是打过疫苗还是没打过。这不没几个月又改了。
外科医生没刀开时,让他们回家,或减工资.真缺其他专科医生可以去帮忙.比如外科医生插管不是问题吧.
纽约去年疫情最厉害时UCSF医生去支援2星期就回去了.
会显示没打的统御死亡住院人数。一是显示疫苗保护率，同时推进疫苗接种。一石二鸟
真有需要应该修改规则,让其他专科医生帮忙.不要忙的忙煞,闲的只能在家呆着.

杜编不久前刚问过，一周后我就实现了零的突破。
一次测了新冠。
毫无悬念地，阴性。
