I am going to be pro-active about getting my yearly mammogram in September, covid be damned. My sister died of breast cancer.
As for elective surgery...first of all, I really wish medicine would use a different term than "elective." Surgery is surgery and truthfully, all surgery is elective.
I was scheduled to have my achilles tendon surgery on April 7th. I had been in fierce pain with it for 2 years. Of course, my surgery was cancelled in April. By mid-May covid in Calif had calmed quite a bit. I used the opportunity to really push for my surgery. Surprisingly, my surgery was scheduled last-minute and I had the surgery on May 28th. I was very lucky, because I'm pretty sure "elective" surgeries are not being prioritized now.
I wonder how many people are suffering and dying not only from covid itself, but from our terribly poorly-prepared health care system (in the U.S.).
