I hope these nurses and doctors are able to get the psychological counseling that they DESERVE, because this is TRAUMATIC.

In soo very many of these hospitals where are their patients? Every time I look at these they do the same thing no one is there except the doctor or nurse talking at you In one or maybe two you see a blurred vision of someone laying down However where is the actual proof ?

Now that I’m 17, I chose a career of medical doctor because I want to save others who are needed. This pandemic is the causes for my motivation to choose this future career.

NY That specific hospital is a community hospital, it’s the hospital that MSM had on tv with the refrigerator truck out back for the bodies. She states in her undercover video(footage with the dr speaking) that the drs wouldn’t let her revive 37 year old man who coded -he was on a ventilator, his oxygen was only 87 normal is 92 and above. The dr laughed and smirked when she went to resitate the patient. It’s a total money game.

ED nurse here. Thanks for sharing your experience. This is wearing on all of us. We were intubating 5 patient per shift for a few weeks, and filled our ICU. People are still dying alone and scared, and we are constantly exposed for hours on end. Can’t wait to see if I have some sort of immunity as that will reduce the stress of bringing this disease back to my child. We were all really sick at my hospital late February before things kicked off in Cali, so here’s hoping that I’ve already had it and recovered...

Seeing this surgeon cry and reflect on what it would feel like if her mom was dying alone made me cry. For anyone who has had to pass that way, for the families of those who had to watch, for the healthcare people that helped them pass the best way they could... they are not just another statistic of COVID mortality. People are so desensitized to the death toll and rate of infection they are starting to treat it like it's just another thing. :( All of these people who had to watch another die will be affected forever. I'm affected forever just watching this.
