Business columnist Mitchell Schnurman writes:
In the third week of April, the medical office of North
Dallas Ear Nose & Throat got just one phone call from a patient.
Usually, about 80 people a
week come to see Dr. Morris Gottlieb and his staff, and he typically performs
about 40 surgeries a month. That was before the pandemic, of course, and the
stay-at-home orders and the restrictions on elective surgery.
On Wednesday, Texas’ rules on elective procedures were
loosened, and Gottlieb has started rescheduling sinus surgeries, tonsil
removals and the insertion of ear tubes -- interventions generally aimed at
stopping chronic infections.
While he’s back in business, he
knows it’s not going to be business as usual.
