Just came home from ER shift. Everyone is so sick. Everyone has COVID19. Referred so many for admission onto the wards and ICU. Essential workers or their family members. Multigenerational families. I speak to their children and grandchildren on the phone. 1/
Saw 5 patients in a row with shortness of breath. Each one worse than the previous. My colleagues working with me had the same kind of day. I thank G-d for our Physician Assistants and nurses and RTs who worked like soldiers on the front lines. We all did what we needed to do. 2/
At the end of my shift I reflected how angry I was. Angry at the government, angry at PHUs. Angry at groups that can’t be more nimble. Angry at those who want to be perfect rather than just getting shit done. 3/
We are in this mess because no one listens to frontline health care workers. This isn’t new. It’s all politics. No one listens to doctors or nurses. We know our patients best. We know our communities best. How can we change things so this doesn’t happen again?
