BOSTON (CBS) – Boston health care providers are pleading with the public to seek medical treatment if they are suffering from illnesses unrelated to the coronavirus.
“Because when it comes to your health, time can be the difference between life and death,” Brigham Health trauma surgeon Dr. Stephanie Nitzschke says in a new public service announcement released by area hospitals.

Clinical guide for the management of stroke patients during the coronavirus pandemic, RCP (Updated 16th April 2020 with updates highlighted in yellow)
Much of stroke medicine is in the frontline, with responsibilities involving direct and indirect support to emergency departments (EDs) and admissions units. Most stroke physicians however have dual or triple accreditation in general medicine and/or geriatrics. Therefore some services may need to consider how they extend their roles to release clinicians to support the general emergency medical take and inpatient bed base. We should seek the best local solutions to continue the proper management while developing and protecting resources for the response to coronavirus.

Deathly Ill Coronavirus Patients Could Be Saved By Heart Attack And Stroke Drug
BOSTON (CBS) — TPA is a drug that is used to help stroke and heart attack victims. It works by breaking up or busting blood clots. Doctors at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are now using it in a clinical trial on gravely ill coronavirus patients.
“There’s a lot of very small blood clots accumulating in the lungs of these patients,” said Dr. Christopher Barrett. “And that seems to be at least contributory, if not the predominant reason, that their respiratory failure is so bad.”
Dr. Barrett says TPA could help patients recover faster, free up ventilators and even prevent people from...

Doctors Are Worried About the Unprecedented Drop in Emergency Room Visits During the COVID-19 Pandemic
In late May, an otherwise relatively healthy New York City woman began having trouble speaking, and she felt weak on the right side of her body. But she could still walk and take care of herself, and with the coronavirus pandemic raging, visiting a hospital seemed too dangerous. The next day, her speech had gotten worse, and she could barely move the right side of her body. Her family called 911 and she was rushed to the hospital, where doctors determined she had suffered a stroke.
By the time the woman left the hospital, she was no longer able to walk by herself, and was having difficulty speaking and understanding other...

Unusual Symptoms of Coronavirus: What We Know So Far
While most people are familiar with the hallmark symptoms of COVID-19 by now—cough, fever, muscle aches, headaches and difficulty breathing—a new crop of medical conditions are emerging from the more than 4 million confirmed cases of the disease around the world.
These include skin rashes, diarrhea, kidney abnormalities and potentially life-threatening blood clots.

The COVID-19 Pandemic Kept Thousands of People From Getting Urgent Medical Care, CDC Says
When COVID-19 lockdowns were first announced in March, doctors also urged patients to postpone all but the most necessary procedures and appointments to save space in hospitals. Many elective surgeries were pushed off, and routine care was mostly moved online.
From the beginning, doctors feared these difficult but necessary precautions would have an unintended consequence: Dissuading from people who actually did need immediate care from getting it. Now, new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirm that concern.
