First time in history, I bursted to tears in front of my patient. Worse, while switching off the inotropic and oxygen support, she asked me to hold her hand until she goes because family members cannot be with her. My heart šš fck this virus.

Asking healthcare workers to do the job without providing them with PPE is same as recruiting them for a non consenting kamikaze mission.

In my 7 days on one of our (now 12!) non ICU #COVID19 units, I admitted 58 patients for COVID rule out, of whom 50 tested positive. Two died (DNR), 2 went to hospice, and 5 went to the ICU. That isā¦ not my typical gen med service week. Following, some clinical observations.

Yesterday, my neighbour left me some homeade soup to pick up from outside; while I am recovering from a mild case of COVID. When I got there, I found not only a big container of piping hot soup, but two huge bags of shopping. I almost burst into tears. She barely knows me.

Honestly, one of the the things that's serving me best with infection control when caring for COVID patients is memories of scrub nurses yelling at me during my MS3 surgery rotation for breaking the sterile field.

My friend realised he had coronavirus and stayed at home to self-isolate.

He was following the government's advice and ended up dying alone in his flat yesterday at the age of just 50.
Please check up on anyone you know is self-isolating on their own.
No one should die alone š¢
