Mount Pleasant Magazine Documenting Covid-19

84 www.CoronavirusMag.com | www.ReadMPM.com | www.ILoveMountPleasant.com feature DOCTORS T hroughout the country, there are more than half a million doctors in different specialties. While coronavirus hit cities across America, it was quickly realized that more doctors, other than emergency room doctors, were needed to treat the virus as it was discovered to attack the lungs, kidneys and more. Family doctors were often the first to listen to their patients and determine their symptoms. From there, the doctor would refer the patient to a testing site and then it was a waiting game. If a patient was severely ill, he or she would be admitted to the hospital, while patients who showed minor symptoms would return home and quarantine. Virtual visits followed as did hospital stays. Each destination required physician assistance and the community dealt with positive patients at all area hospitals. Mt.
