“I Remember Them All” ICU Nurse on Patients She Lost to COVID-19 | Amanpour and Company

COVID-19 is now the deadliest pandemic in the history of the United States. More than 678,000 Americans have died from the virus, surpassing the number that died from the 1918 flu. Kathryn Sherman has seen the story unfold in front of her eyes, working as a critical care nurse in Tennessee -- the state with the most COVID-19 cases per capita. In a piece for The Scientific American, Sherman wrote that “the patients don’t stop coming.” She speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about her experience caring for the sickest coronavirus patients.

@@lenom1289 No, I don't think this is fake. But it isn't actually news either, is it? And how about Russiagate. You want to bet that this network pushed that. And that really was fake. So no, these other media outlets do not get a pass.

We have to create conditions where garbage misinformation is discouraged. It has a cost. It has cost lives. It has cost the economy. It has slowed everything down, all so a few cheap grifters can make money.

Young new nurses working in Covid units are getting a lifetime of experience in a short time and the trauma for them will last a lifetime as well. As a nurse of 45 years I am afraid for the future of nursing when one of the long term effects of this current crisis results in an even more severe shortage of nurses and doctors.

Great interview & amazing nurse. Last week I needed a blood transfusion in the outpatient clinic. I was talking to the nurse & she said she used to work in the ER at a different location but transferred to this clinic during the first wave. Keep in mind she has been a nurse for 25 yrs, worked through ebola & SARS and this is how stressful it was for her in Canada, near Toronto. It would 100x worse in other places with now rules. So then I felt bad for her.

What an amazing young nurse. Great interview as well.

Aside from O2 and the "ventilators" what treatments has this young woman given to her patients in the ICU? Like it or not, often the "ventilator" is a death sentence.

I'm sure she doesn't prescribe treatment..

If COVID-19 ICUs could be shared to show the reality of COVID-19, it would open people eyes and hopefully prompt them to get vaccinated and take precautions.

They don't do that because they are empty

@@jenny2tone242 the Facepalm is real. If millions of us were vaccinated and having crazy side effects warranting hospital care, we'd all know someone with a vaccine side effect!! However, I do know many locals losing family to covid and requiring the ICU. I also don't trust random citizen up there went into 3 ICUs. You can't just walk into the covid wings. Again, Facepalm.

I think people will be very sorry when these amazing people will no longer be there to save them. I agree with everything this lady has said and it really got me when she was saying that patient asked her not to leave her. I can only imagine how frightening it would be to say something like that. She knew what was going to happen.
