As the number of coronavirus cases continues to increase, Susquehanna Valley hospitals are seeing more patients.In some cases, hospitals are asking emergency medical providers to divert patients to other facilities.Emergency medical providers say the current situation is like nothing before."It's overwhelmingly stressful. You never know what you're going to experience when you come into work that day," said Jerry Schramm, with Lancaster EMS.LEMSA is seeing a major increase in the number of patients it's transporting.While they are seeing some COVID-19 cases, most are patients with emergency medical needs or mental health issues or those who put off medical care due to the pandemic and are now sicker.Staffing shortages across the medical field are also an issue.Some hospitals are now asking emergency responders to divert patients to other facilities."One of the challenges we're experiencing is every hospital is at capacity and every hospital is on divert and that puts EMS in a particular situation. Where do you go?" Schramm said.In some cases, patients are waiting up to two hours to get a bed.Schramm says that if you can get the medical attention you need from your family doctor or urgent care, you should consider that.But if you do have a medical emergency, you should still call an emergency responder.
