okay the elective there isn't a capitalism thing, it's a medical thing like – patient will not die if we don't do this surgery so we will schedule it properly and plan for it. The doctor and the patient will talk and map out rehab and attempt to maximise recovery and outcomes. We will not have to use the emergency Operating Theatres.
Covid is a seriously bad time to do elective surgeries because the patient is now extremely immunocompromised in a hospital full of corona ready to have fascinating new complications.
I'd like to imagine one day we'll live in a world where surgery to alleviate debilitating pain isn't an elective procedure. That would kick ass.
