The emergency medicine physician ordered an MRI of the patient’s brain and intracerebral vessels. Covid-19 directly causes physical devastation and in so doing exacerbates the kinds of delays described above. My colleagues are seeing this as well; far fewer stroke patients come to the hospital now. Another colleague recently admitted a patient with a massive heart attack who stayed at home for fear of Covid-19. But these are the other casualties from the Covid-19 pandemic: patients with treatable conditions who do not get treated in time.
