1/N Aujourd’hui, j’ai passé 5 heures au service des urgences du centre hospitalier le plus proche de chez moi, dans les Yvelines. Parce que j’ai eu beau appeler les rares médecins exerçant dans ma zone géographique, aucun n’était en mesure de me recevoir avant près de 3 semaines

2/N … Quand on ne m’a pas dit que de toutes façons ce médecin ne prenait pas de nouveaux patients.

Pour un état qui durait depuis quelques jours, j’ai donc dû me résoudre à encombrer la salle d’attente du service des urgences. Après une evaluation rapide de mon état…

3/N J’ai patiente en salle d’attente, alors que je voyais le personnel soignant, plus que visiblement à bout de souffle, s’excuser, qu’il faudrait attendre des heures.

During #China’s fight against #Covid-19, the Chinese government adopted TWO FIRSTS approach: people first, the life and health first. China's national TV @CCTV 7 o’clock news on April 29 carried a few exceptional examples, miracles indeed:

1.The general cure rate in #Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak was 94%, while almost 90% of those in critical condition were able to return to normal life.

2. A 50-year-old Mr. Cheng suffered multiple organ failure and was the first patient to use #ECMO in his hospital. After 10-day #ICU care and was saved from near death He spent 80 days in the hospital and quarantine. He and doctors were tearful when he woke up.

To my colleagues and friends in the NHS and health services across the globe, clinical, drivers, Biomedical engineers, porters, cleaners and admin staff

These coming weeks and months will be the biggest battle of your professional lives and it all comes down to what you do right now.

Either, we stop this virus together as a team, or we crumble. Each and every one of us has our part to play.

!

We’re in hell right now, believe me I have been here before. Now, we can all stay as we are, battered, bruised and scared. Or, we can fight our way back, out into the light. We can climb out of this hell.

2 @gatewaywomen: the shame of #childlessness is a powerful tool for keeping us apart: it prevents conversation, community, it creates separation, isolation, stigma and vilification #StoryhouseChildless @StoryhouseLive
