Covid-19, Dr. Arabia Mollette said, has turned the Brooklyn-based hospital into"a war zone." "A medical war zone," Mollette, an emergency room physician at Brookdale Hospital, told CNN."Every day I come, what I see on a daily basis, is pain, despair, suffering and health care disparities."This is the reality for many hospitals across New York, which has become the epicenter of the American coronavirus outbreak.
"Ventilators are used on serious cases of Covid-19 to help patients breathe who are struggling to do so on their own, Plasencia said. Once patients are hooked up to the machines, they generally need to continue using them for one to two weeks or longer, she said."Certainly no physician wants to be put in a position where they have to triage treatments based on resource availability," she said."But in this national crisis that is where we may be heading.
