My son is & 32 doctor in hospital . at age 17 he had right upper lobe wedge resection & thoracosopic pleurodesis. also had some heart conduction problems with 2.1 second heart blocks. is he higher risk for contracting covid 19 & morbidity from patien?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Covid19: I think his risk of getting covid19 is no more than anyone else, but, if he contracted it,he would be more susceptible to complications because of his lung and cardiac status. I'm confident that he will be very vigilant about recognizing covid19 symptoms very early and getting early treatment and support. Let's hope he doesn't contract it.
