Covid-19 cases forcing hospitals to ration care is unfair and unacceptable, expert says

The magnitude of Covid-19 patients filling hospital beds is avoidable, doctors say. But in some hospitals, patients with or without coronavirus are paying the price. 'We are at the point where not every patient in need will get the care we might wish we could give,' said Dr. Shelly Harkins, chief medical officer of St. Peter's Health in Helena, Montana. It's one of the latest hospitals to resort to crisis standards of care, meaning emergency medicine personnel must ration care.
