Fox News
Six days after being shot six times outside of a Houston grocery store, Ben Taub Hospital patient Joel Valdez was reportedly still waiting to undergo surgery on Friday.
Around 33% of Ben Taub’s ICU patients are sick with the coronavirus and other hospitals in the county are reportedly near capacity as well, health officials said. "Everybody is really surprised I’m still in this bed a week later," Valdez told the station. "Having broken bones and bullets in me for over a week now, it’s a little frustrating," said Valdez.More Related News
