It's in case they have a 'all hands on deck' situation. Oh.
Right now her hospital (Hoag) is at very low capacity. Maybe 20% and they want elective business.
CA governor saying those over 65 need to stay home created a firestorm of legal issues about was that a suggestion, will there be fines etc.
Many of the physician's are that age.
In CA physician's may not work for the hospital. So it further complicates the management.
