Then, the next wave arrived. This time on stretchers.
This week, there was no room. Desperate, the health care worker said, administrators began checking available hospitals in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. The Navicent employee approached GPB News late Wednesday, saying hospital systems are not providing an accurate reflection of what staffers are seeing inside the walls of medical centers overrun with patients. The employee spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of getting fired, and NPR is not identifying the Navicent hospital where the employee works to maintain that person's anonymity.
The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency reported nearly 2,800 hospitalizations, with 84% of critical care beds occupied. Nearly 1,100 patients were on ventilators, the agency said. "I can tell you that it's still very busy," Dr. John Wood, medical director for the emergency department at the Medical Center, Navicent Health, toldHe urged people to wear masks, social distance and avoid crowds.
"It was nothing like this," the employee said."I have never ever seen anything like this. Ever! Not anything close."
