Overwhelmed L.A. Hospitals Are Putting Patients In Gift Shops

Some L.A. County hospitals have been forced to use gift shop space amid a COVID-19 surge

Cases of COVID-19 are surging in Southern California, with Los Angeles County being particularly hard-hit with new cases of the virus. Hospitals in the area are so overwhelmed and so full, that they’ve been forced to utilize as much extra space as they can — including the hospital gift shop.

According to the L.A. Times, nearly every hospital in the county has been forced to redirect some ambulances carrying patients — more than 90 percent of the county’s hospitals that take patients based on 911 calls had to redirect ambulances on Sunday alone. “It’s a crisis — there’s no doubt about it,” says Kevan Metcalfe, Memorial Hospital of Gardena’s Chief Executive. “And they just keep coming.”

L.A. intensive care units are also jam-packed. According to Sunday’s data, the county had 1,449 ICU patients. As of Monday, there were only 54 available ICU beds in the entire county. Two-thirds of all ICU beds in L.A. County are currently filled with COVID-19 patients. “You have to be very resourceful and creative and utilize your resources maybe in ways that you haven’t before,” Metcalfe says.

The Times reports that if the situation should become more dire, hospitals could become forced to ration care which means doctors and medical staff will be forced to strategize about where to most effectively use their resources and equipment instead of doing everything possible to save every life.

It’s horrific. And many people with preventable or treatable issues will die as a result of this latest COVID-19 surge.

“We’re at a turning point. If it continues to get worse, many hospitals will begin rationing care,” said Dr. Elaine Batchlor, CEO of Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital in Willowbrook, a 131-bed facility that had 215 patients Monday.

Memorial Hospital of Gardena is operating at 140% capacity this week and had to ask for a four-hour suspension on ambulance calls on Monday. In addition to the gift shops, conference rooms are also being used to treat ill patients. Medical tents are being set up in hospital parking lots.

“All hospitals are experiencing this strain, but it’s especially more pronounced and more serious for some of the smaller hospitals,” L.A. County Health Services Director Christina Ghaly told the Times. “Many hospitals have reached a crisis point and are having to make many tough decisions about patient care.”

Metcalfe said that the hospital has been forced to send home nearly all patients who are not extremely sick and can be treated with outpatient care.

“I’ve been in the business 40 years,” he said, “and I’ve never seen anything like this.”

“If there is a Christmas surge, we probably have not experienced it yet,” L.A. County-USC’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brad Spellberg warns. “If that happens, Los Angeles County will turn into what New York was in April.”

    Just when you thought it best to skip Valentine’s Day altogether this year, L.A.’s trendiest nail brand is making a case for marking the occasion with a little treat-yourself gift — say, like a salon-quality manicure and a sparkly piece of jewelry. Taking an overdone holiday and making it feel welcoming to anyone who appreciates minimalist nail art and charm bracelets (no matter their relationship status), Olive & June just released a gift set in collaboration with jewelry designer Frasier Sterling that includes glitter nail polish, ’90s-inspired nail-art stickers, and a 14k gold ring. The full Groovy Bouquet gift set is now available on both retailers’ websites, selling for $42, which is a steal when you break down everything inside. You’ll get three polishes: Olive & June’s best-selling your-nails-but-better pink, a sparkly gold, and a clear top coat. Plus, there’s a limited-edition pack of stickers featuring ’90s designs — like aliens, flower petals, butterflies, yin-yang symbols — which you can mix and match to jump on the current “indie nails” trend. As for the pièce de résistance, the set features a Frasier Sterling gemstone-encrusted ring, which has an adjustable gold-plated band that can size to any finger. The collaboration is kind of brilliant in that you get all the trimmings for the perfect manicure Instagram post, one that you can rework well after February 14th. Plus, jewelry always hits around the holiday of love, and a cheerful flower charm is so much better than a heart. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff.

  • The Best Loveseats — According To Small-Space Dwellers

    With design-roots dating back to the 17th Century, loveseats originated as additional seating for fitting women wearing the customary large hoop-skirt fashion of the time — and eventually transitioned into appropriately intimate locales for smitten courters (gaining the two-seater sofa its sweet namesake). With all fashion and romance origins set aside, the compact couches are major modern-day solutions for small-space furnishing — especially where style, budget, and sizing strikes.As far as weighty investment pieces go, couches take the home-furnishing cake; The goods serve as important stylistic anchors inside living spaces, provide physical support for lounging endeavors, and also tend to tote high price tags.

  • Get Personal This Valentine’s Day With These 24 Customizable Gift Ideas

    Maybe you’re the kind of person that embraces Valentine’s Day and all its pink-and-red colored clichés (the flower deliveries! The funny cards! The fancy takeout dinner!). Maybe you’d rather treat this 24-hour love fest like it's any other Sunday. No matter how you see it, February 14th is a perfectly good excuse for us to spoil (and, of course, get spoiled by) our partners, so who are we to overlook this romantic occasion and the abundance of chocolate it entails? If you're shopping for your best friend or S.O. but know a cuddly teddy bear will incite nothing more than an eye roll, consider a personalized Valentine's Day gift instead that'll turn up the charm without feeling cheesy. There's little in the realm of fashion and lifestyle that can't be customized these days. You can sip your coffee out of a personalized Starbucks cup, transform your favorite Levis into a work of art, and create your own wedding-themed Snapchat lens. But a personalized gift, like a great partner or friend, is simply one-of-a-kind — and the right bespoke apparel can remind them of just that. Having a significant date etched into a piece of jewelry or a giant bar of chocolate, for example, makes it all the more special, and there's something about slinging a monogrammed tote over your shoulder that takes the edge off a morning commute. Adding the name of a loved one to things like AirPod cases or reusable water bottles may be practical, but it's also a subtle stamp of character on an otherwise ordinary possession.No matter who you've declared to be your Valentine next week, be it your long-term partner, a close friend, or the barista from your favorite coffee spot, upgrade their gift with a personal touch this year. Ahead, we've rounded up a range of gift ideas that can be customized to suit your very special someone. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff.
