When COVID-19 hit the U.S., hospitals in many areas canceled elective surgeries to redirect resources and personnel to treating coronavirus patients, and people
were encouraged to use telemedicine or delay non-urgent medical appointments. While doing so was necessary to try to stop the spread of the virus, it led to
