The top surgeon at Michigan Medicine expressed alarm Thursday over rising COVID-19 infections, begging for intervention from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Justin Dimick, chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Michigan, tweeted the Ann Arbor-based health system was canceling surgeries due to the intake of COVID-19 patients.
He noted there had been no recently imposed restrictions to combat the spread of the virus and pleaded for help from Whitmer, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and White House COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt. We are starting to cancel surgical cases again to accommodate rapidly accelerating Covid-19 admissions. Entire state is high-risk, Dimick tweeted.
