Last week: Eleven minutes. That's how long I was able to stay with my wife during the admitting process before her gall bladder surgery. I wasn't able to come back for almost six hours. That's another harsh byproduct of the pandemic. Fortunately for us, it was relatively minor surgery that went relatively well, but what's it like for children or those going into much more worrisome treatments? The additional strain on patients cannot help their recovery process, and it means even more workload on the kind medical professionals that have additional mundane duties – I couldn't even fill up her water jug.
