H1N1 Flu Could Overwhelm Sacramento-Area Hospitals
Some physicians are concerned that the H1N1 influenza, also known as swine flu, could result in local health resources becoming overwhelmed. In the Sacramento area, some physicians have said that a surge in H1N1 flu patients could result in elective surgeries being delayed and more stable patients being shifted out of the intensive care unit to free up room for sicker patients.
