I thought I had an understanding of the impact of COVID - my exposure to date had been prehospital. I thought I’d seen it & understood the effects on frontline HCWs. I was wrong . Last night I worked my first ICU shift. Thread .. I’ve spent today trying to put words to all I feel after that shift - but I end up in tears. I’d diligently followed the numbers , seen the pts in their homes, in our ambulances. I’ve read & heard the first hand accounts of the desperate fight against this 2nd wave.
