This has been happeneing since the beginning, I feel.
Close, diret relative of mine had severe pain in his side. Went to ER, was told, Severe appendicitis. Doctor set up quick outpatient surgery at a surgery clinic.
Same thing - PCR test came up positive - his emergency surgery was postponed, and he was placed in an isolated Covid ward for 3 days. His only symptoms were the severe pain in his side.
Surgeon told him to "just go home and wait it out", that these things "genially just go away." This is 3 days of severe pain and three days after being sent in for "emergency surgery."
The day he was to be released, his mother went into the hospital and spoke to an administrator and had a new surgeon assigned. That surgeon did surgery within 4 hours, and when asked, "So was he really bad? Did the surgery need to happen today or not?" (since Surgeon 1 said it would pass and was not an emergency.
Surgeon2's response, "This surgery needed to have happened on Monday. It is simply sheer luck that it did not burst these past 3 days."

Holy shit. I knew ERs are bad (had one seemingly try to kill me in a similar way) but this is really incredible. It really does make you wonder how many people died because of shit like this and then got labeled a "covid death"
