SouthCoast Health family physician, Dr. Rebecca Sellers addressed the importance of NOT postponing medical appointments during the current COVID-19 pandemic with WSAV. She explained waiting too long to get checked out can worsen certain chronic conditions.
“[Some] folks haven’t been going in for their routine heart failure follow-ups or COPD management,” Dr. Sellers reported. “The number-one reason for admission into hospitals is for COPD or heart failure exacerbations, so if we’re able to make sure that those conditions are managed and not getting out of control, then it can prevent a hospitalization in a time when you’re really trying to avoid the hospital.”
