Hospitals nationwide are losing resources to the most recent surge of COVID-19, causing bed shortages and increasing wait times. This week, we asked two medical specialists at MedStar Washington Hospital Center how their Emergency Room is doing. Dr. Susan O’Mara is the Chair of Emergency Medicine and Dr. Glenn Wortmann is the Chief of Infectious Diseases. They take us into the hospital and talked about what patients can expect, whether ER staff are burnt out and fatigued, and how you can talk to your friends and family about their vaccination status.
