Lexusgs430: Even upon all the equipment,the PTSD suffered by soldiers is immense and a lot of times, life limiting.A lot live with crippling anxiety,some go on to commit suicide or commit crimes. I am glad there are doctor groups for support where they are able to vent and express the way they truly feel.I am hoping other health workers have similar and also that there's more professional support for those that will certainly need it. BMA has been agitating that the final year nurses and doctors who are being pushed to the frontline without being adequately prepared are numerated accordingly with support put in place in the workplace but the press has somehow managed to twist it into something else,lol RIP to the beautiful staff who have died and for them lack of PPE is a common factor. I watched the daughter of one of them trying to make sense of what happened. Their deaths were avoidable but this sort of thing is what the public subconsciously like to read about/ want to believe about healthcare workers . I do not blame them,I believe that it is a way to manage ones anxiety,the belief that there is someone out there willing to die in your place can be quite reassuring. The after effects of this COVID on mental health is going to be a tsunami. 1 Like |

Soknown: I appreciate your comment. I was in a covid ward with 4 other patients. We were all suspected cases, as the results weren’t out yet. That ward had 1 nurse and 2 carers. I worked in care as a student and normally you’d have 1 night nurse to 14 or more residents. This nurse had just 5 and didn’t enter the ward throughout the night shift until it was close to handover time. My drip finished and started pulling my blood out (I stopped it myself), I wasn’t given my painkillers that were due every 4 hours. The other patients rang to pee and poop and no one answered. That nurse promised to care for patients, but decided to discriminate against disease. And you want me to celebrate her as a hero? You want me to celebrate the nurses that turned their backs on patients when they realised they were posted to the covid ward even when PPE was plenty? Then what would I do for the ones that were brave enough to care for us? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Aphrodite007:The most important person is her. It is called PERSONAL protective equipment and not PATIENT protective equipment for a reason. Even in cardiac arrest the first step of the resuscitation algorithm is to not ensure personal safety before approaching the patient. I currently work on a COVID ward, I do not even have scrubs provided for me. I have to wear my regular clothes, today I had to physically restrain a learning disability patient so we could do his bloods. A bloody huge man. I and then other dear nurses, God bless them, were literally rubbing in his sweat and spit thanks to the NHS bare below the elbow policy. I am asthmatic, today 40 people with no underlying health problems died of complications from corona virus in the UK. Tomorrow I will stand up and go again, so I do not begrudge anyone who fears for their lives and therefore approaches a patient cautiously thereby offending your sensibilities that they did not wait on you hand and foot. 10 Likes |

@Uglyduckling, Please stay well and know your colleagues and family understand and cheer you on no matter what decision you take. Please take care of yourself,you are one of the at risk people and you should reduce the risk you are taking. I bought scrubs online yesterday,I suggest you do the same.My plan is to change at work into them and then change back into home clothes on the way out . Wearing your regular clothing is not advisable as you have to boil close to 60 degrees. I can't even imagine the stress in this scenario,your LD patient would definitely have been very afraid , confused and then you had to restrain him in the bid to do.your best. They updated the PPE policy and it's still basically the same thing. I despair. Stay safe.. Saw this on twitter and it made me feel a bit cheerful,lol Some people were furious at Baba Hancock implying people willingly sacrificed themselves 1 Like

I would like to say a HUGE thank you to the lovely men and women who staff our hospitals. You see carnage for up to 8 hours every day, you go home only to come back and do it again . May your parents and family not cry over you. Daalunu o! marylandcakes,I m so sorry about your cat. cats have been known to go into depression after losing fights. I suggest you let them find their own level. I can make cat soup out of the bully if you prefer 2 Likes |
