"Once a patient is hospitalized and needs a higher level of specialty care within the hospital, he may be referred to tertiary care. Tertiary care requires highly specialized equipment and expertise. At this level, you will find procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery, renal or hemodialysis, and some plastic surgeries or neurosurgeries."
TRANSLATION: Dude needed some serious specialized care, that even an "accreditated heart hospital" couldn't handle and a very limited amount of hospitals could. |
Have links to share that portray it that way? The ones I've seen in this thread didn't seem that sensationalized.
The translation explains tertiary care but ignores the meaning of the quote - the hospital spokesperson is saying those tertiary facilities are also experiencing capacity issues which makes it more difficult for primary facilities to find available tertiary facilities.
One family claiming the hospital contacted 43 hospitals does not mean all families will make the same claim or have the same experience.
