The Coronavirus Is Forcing Hospitals to Cancel Surgeries
Hospitals in hot spots like Seattle and New York are postponing elective surgeries, hoping to conserve resources as the outbreak escalates. More serious surgeries are also getting a second look.
Alison Krupnick had surgery scheduled to remove early stage cervical cancer, but because of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, her surgery was being postponed indefinitely to keep hospital beds open.

Hospitals cancel hundreds of non-urgent procedures, surgeries, and medical appointments
The definition of “elective” surgery is also at issue
Justin O’Connor, 67, scheduled his hip replacement surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital two months ago, an operation he badly needs to relieve pain that makes it hard to walk, even with a cane.
On Friday his surgeon said he hoped to squeeze in O’Connor’s operation before the hospital began shutting down elective procedures. Then, on Sunday at noon, O’Connor got the phone call: His surgery scheduled for 8 the following morning was indefinitely postponed because of the coronavirus.
"I understand at some point as the virus spreads this kind of stuff makes sense,'' said O’Connor, who lives in Woburn. "My other feeling is that today that surgical suite went unused and the doctor’s talent went unused and my pain is still there.''
Some hospitals had already started to cancel discretionary procedures and non-essential medical appointment last week, but that effort intensified over the weekend as the Baker administration directed all Massachusetts hospitals to stop performing “non-essential elective procedures.” At some hospitals, doctors made personal calls to their patients while at others assistants were handed lists to work from.
