Jacob Sweidan, a pediatrician with 40 years of experience, notes an unprecedented drop in patient visits among immigrant families due to fear. He indicates that many parents are reluctant to visit clinics, leading children to emergency rooms when conditions worsen. For instance, a child with a high fever waited days before calling for help, and another was on the verge of a diabetic coma after running out of insulin. Telehealth services are being reintroduced due to increased immigration enforcement, which has driven families further into fear and avoidance of medical care.
Jacob Sweidan has witnessed a significant decline in patient visits among immigrant families, who are increasingly too scared to seek medical care. He emphasizes, 'They are scared to come to the offices. They're getting sicker and sicker.'
