There's a steady uptick in COVID-19 cases in Michigan right now. And while we aren't seeing dramatic spikes like we did earlier in the pandemic, this slow autumn surge of cases is pushing Michigan healthcare systems to their limits. On this episode of the podcast, we'll talk to an emergency doctor about how this rise in cases is impacting hospital care for patients, whether or not they have COVID-19.  GUEST:  Dr. Brad Uren, emergency medicine professor at the University of Michigan and former president of the Michigan College of Emergency Physicians Looking for more conversations from Stateside?
