LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Around Arkansas, hospitals are struggling with keeping beds for patients.
"I called I think 20 hospitals one day trying to see if we could just get someone transferred out, and the answer was 'no' all around," said Dr. Brent Rosson with North Arkansas Regional Medical Center.
UAMS in Little Rock is experiencing similar circumstances. Dr. Rawle Seupaul, UAMS' Chief Medical Officer said the hospital can't give adequate care to patients as they could pre-pandemic.
"It's a terrible feeling. We're stretched pretty thin resource-wise from a personnel standpoint and from a physical space," said Dr. Seupaul.
