On shift in a New York hospital overwhelmed by coronavirus patients

In Maimonides Medical Center on April 1, more than 80 percent of patients were infected with the coronavirus, and doctors and nurses feared the worst is yet to come. "There's going to be so much lost, so much life lost," infectious disease physician Monica Ghitan told The Washington Post. Subscribe to The Washington Post on KZbin: wapo.st/2QOdcqK

0:13 she touched the device without gloves, if someone with Corona touched device earlier she will carry it on her hands, and transfer it to other medical staff

[@EA-cx7zf]

Depends on where she wore the gloves. If she had on gloves when she treated a patient then she should have removed those gloves. In theory if everyone only wears gloves in contaminated areas, and then remove the gloves before entering a non-contaminated area then she shouldn't need gloves there. The wearing of gloves themselves do not protect anything if they are not removed correctly and at the right time. So, if she took off her gloves after leaving a dirty area and then put on another pair just for the clean area, then she'd be risking wasting gloves.

[@VancouveriteBoy]

E A Yes, she has to throw the contaminated gloves once she treat the patience. With Coronavirus you need to wear gloves at all time to avoid the risk of catching the virus because the fastest way to get it is by touching a contaminated surface. So yes, you would waste gloves instead of wasting lives

@@VancouveriteBoy Gloves aren't sterile either, and are not some magical device that will protect you. Hand hygiene is still the best way to stop the spread of infection and nurses are religious about hand hygiene for this reason. You can actually see her use hand sanitizer before she even touched the IV pump at 0:10, so what exactly is the problem? Additionally, the IV pump is outside of the room, it's not contaminated. We have all of our IV pumps outside the room so we can titrate meds easier and to save on PPE.

This is the most powerful country, but it has the most stupid leadership. If our leaders reacted sooner, alot of this wouldn't of happened. This is coming from a Trump supporter who is extremely disappointed with the president.

[@mpagit]

@@Danielm-hq3eb How much sooner? Trump closed the borders sooner than any other lawmaker (and even Dr. Fauci) had recommended. He was derided for being racist, and 'stupid' for 'overreacting', but now he didn't do enough, or act sooner? Has this been a perfect response, no. But in comparison to a lot of other countries, we're doing pretty well. I know people in other countries and the stories are much worse, including economically where EVERYTHING but food stores and pharmacies are closed and you have to have a permit to leave your house. The US isn't perfect and is suffering, but for a country this size, we set a good course pretty quickly.

[@eriktml]

From one of the nurses "Every day, they bring in more of these "mystery illness" patients. The sedatives don't stop their delirium, so we have to put them in straitjackets and move them to the isolation wing. Problem is, the isolation wing is already bursting at the seams. The director has ordered us to admit anyone with symptoms free of charge, but what does he expect us to do? Wish them better? We don't have a cure. And that's not all that's bothering me. When these patients die, they're not collected by the usual mortuary teams. We've been told it's "special handling" to prevent the illness from spreading, but I'm not sure I buy it. Miranda saw some guys wheeling a body through the "forbidden door" during the night. Why? Where? What is going on?"

[@jherandsoleil6335]

Maybe because they actually prevented it from spreading because people are keeping distance?? Do you actually want the hospitals to be filled with dying patients?

[@jolenemathews]

Those people filming are not allowed inside the actual Covid-19 wards, for obvious reasons. If you found an empty waiting room, it's because doctors advise people to not come to the hospital unless it's an emergency, and even then phone an ambulance instead of just walking in. This is to prevent people from contracting Covid 19.

[@jolenemathews]

One had to be placed in intensive care, and is now recovering, one is recovering, the other Three are dead. Right now, I’d say that this is pretty scary to me.

[@monteblackwell4652]

It breaks my heart that their are thousands of RT's working side by side with Docs and Nurses and yet always failed to be mentioned. Rt's are the first one's called into a room or a code and the last one's to leave. Respiratory deals directly with intubation, ventilators, extubation and breathing treatments. Respiratory are educated and trained specialists and are in the MEDICAL FIELD. Unlike nurses that are in the nursing field. I rarely ever hear a nurse speak up and give RT's credit. After this pandemic is over everyone will know what a Respiratory Care Practitioner is.

[@nancyjoyce573]

The way I see it as a retired RN, anyone who mans the front line of seriously I'll people is already a VIP The janitor who does a good job, the resident doctors, the people who take care of the food preparation ------the nurses aids, the folks who run the laundry, the nurses.
