COVID-19 Care Will Not End at Discharge —Government Help for the Uninsured Shouldn’t Either

But that is far from the whole story. Once off the ventilator, our patient – a previously healthy man in his 40s – was for a time unable to speak aside from occasional unintelligible sounds. Nor could he move his arms or legs. Happily, he has since recovered some of his ability to speak and move, but we still do not know how long-l...

Artificial Intelligence Is Here To Calm Your Road Rage

“Hello, Corinne,” a calm voice says from the audio system. “What’s stressing you out right n...

Rural U.S. Hospitals Are On Life Support As a Third Wave of COVID-19 Strikes
When COVID-19 hit the Southwest Georgia Regional Medical Center in Cuthbert, a small rural town in Randolph County, in late March, the facility—which includes a 25-bed hospital, an adjacent nursing home and a family-medicine clinic, was quickly overwhelmed. In just a matter of days, 45 of the 62 nursing home residents tested positive. Negative residents were isolated in the hospital while the severely ill patients from both the nursing home and the local community were transferred to other better-equipped facilities.
“We were trying to get the patients out as fast as possible,” says Steve Whatley, Southwe...
