Dear Americans,
Across our nation, esp in the Midwest, children& #39;s hospital beds reserved for sick kids are now being deployed to offload adult hospitals due to surge #COVID19 patients.
Is this normal? No.
But you have given hospitals no choice.

I love pediatricians and as a colleague, I know they will answer the call to admit adult patients. But I am disturbed. Is this who we are as a society? Celebrating #Thanksgiving while beds for sick kids are redeployed? What& #39;s next? What has our nation become? #mondaythoughts
