I'm in the hospital. I actually went in through the COVID emergency room due to me having fever. My fever is due to infection and not COVID but I saw the endless beds in the hallway...
It's scary.
6 HOSPITALS LIMIT ER'S -
"Following severe lack of supplies and medicine, we hereby announce that starting Sunday 24.1.2021 at 6am, you will not be able to send ambulances and patients that do not require a life-saving procedure or are infected with coronavirus to our facilities," said Sharee Zedek, Laniado, Mayanei HaYeshua and three other hospitals in Nazareth". (Ynet)
-- The non-governmental hospitals are complaining that MOH Corona restrictions on services, the ones they make money on have been halted (like elective surgery), leaving them without enough money to continue to operate.
This piece of news was released in the past 24 hours.
WOLFSON HOSPITAL (Holon) STOPS RECEIVING PATIENTS DUE TO CORONA OVERLOAD -
MOH approves request from Wolfson Hospital (Holon / South Tel Aviv) to stop accepting patients due to Corona overload. (Israel Hayom Hebrew). [[ Unclear from the brief info if this is stop ER, stop accepting more Corona patients, or stop accepting any patients. ]]
I know someone who gave birth in the COVID ward this week and she said she was not attended to after birth, wasn't given food, no one can come and advocate. I've heard theyve sent COVID women giving birth to the regular ward due to lack of space as well.
Young people are suffering too. The lack of medical care is detrimental to the entire country. You can help stop the spread.

I have an MRI scheduled at Shaare Tzedek for Wednesday. Do you think I should call and confirm that I still have an appointment? It took me 3 months to get this one.

Refuah shleima, OP. Thanks for the update, it's good to hear how it looks from the inside. Here's hoping this passes soon and people get the help they need.

I hope this is carried by all media outlets and publicized. This is what Israel has been trying to avoid since day one.

For many years the hospitals have been woefully inadequate for the population. We need way more and more between cities.
They’ll the MOH that.

And how many babies are born on the way there?
It’s not a Covid problem, it’s a big problem.

Ok this is true, the ER wait has always been bad in Israel.

Yeah but specifically this strike (the one supposed to start Sunday) is about the demand for more financial help from the government.
Even if they do get government help, there are still likely to be issues because of being short-staffed, heck there already have been serious issues because of that. But they'll go back to accepting patients, at least.

Everyone in gush etzion and efrat as well. Correct me if there is something closer for them... I don't think so. |
Correct.
The Jerusalem hospitals also serve the entire Gush Etzion area and also Kiryat Arba and its environs.
We have a regional emergency medical center in Efrat that has some capabilities of an emergency room but AFAIK not for anything related to Corona.
Wishing you a refuah shlemah OP and a very short hospital stay.

I just checked, my appointment is still on. (I wrote Wed above, but it's actually Tuesday.)
OP, if you'll still be there on Tuesday, is there anything I can bring you? They probably won't let me come in to say "hi", but I could leave something for you at the nurses station.
Chocolate, magazines, a paperback book?

Aw you are so sweet! I'll be getting released today hopefully! Finally! So that won't be neccesary.
Visitors are welcome in freely actually. They just only allow one at a time in your room, although it's not being enforced. And no children or babies that can't wear masks, they can't even enter the hospital.

This makes me so sad.
