Wasn’t this bound to happen? The US population is aging rapidly, their need for healthcare services continues to grow, yet there are limited resources. I’ve had an elderly parent go thru COVID, fall and get badly bruised (but nothing broken), develop a gastroenteritis - and my goal was to manage them at home and avoid a hospitalization. Fortunately it worked out, but I know it won’t always. The only way to manage this onslaught to the system is to be able to better monitor and manage patients as outpatients - so that the heart attack, stroke etc can be avoided. The system is not quite there yet, but it is heading in that direction.
