Postponed OPs: About indirect effects of Corona – Health

from

Linus Freymark and Christina Rebhahn-Roither

She’s not well. In part, this is due to the flaps of skin on their legs, which make walking difficult, become inflamed, and uncomfortable, especially in the summer. She would like that skin off her body, which she no longer needs after losing 140 pounds on her own over two years. Better today than tomorrow. This has already worked on the abdomen with a first intervention. Now the second operation on the thighs is pending. But because the world is still stuck in the pandemic and resources are needed in some clinics for more urgent cases than hers, Melanie T. describes that she cannot get another appointment for which the costs would be covered. According to her doctor, there is room for her – just not in the right clinic.
