Our daughter had a hip issue known as “leg perthes” when she was little. I won’t go into detail–you can google it–but many people who have that condition need an early hip replacement. She received an artificial hip today and is already home from the hospital.
That is not the normal procedure. The surgeon told her that ordinarily she would be kept overnight. As anyone who has had a hip or knee replacement knows, things can go wrong. So why was she sent home early? Because Butte County, California, is full of unvaccinated people, and Chico hospitals have filled up with unvaccinated Covid patients. The surgeon said she would be safer at home than if she stayed in the hospital.
These assholes who won’t get vaccinated and these political leaders who egg them on are putting our daughter at risk. I am so tired of them. Just think of the thousands of people who have needlessly died, including children, because of stupidity.
