Through The Storm: Inside The COVID Wards

Sky News spends a month inside two London hospitals - Barnet Hospital and The Royal Free - during the peak of the COVID-19 winter wave, as the NHS faces the worst ever crisis in its history.
We follow the stories of patients and staff and ask if the NHS will ever be able to fully recover.
This documentary contains stories from inside the hospitals, including patients on ventilators and those separated from their families, which some viewers may find upsetting.

I was in ICU at the age of 37 and had horrific PTSD which took a year to get over. I couldn’t believe how helpless I was when I came round. I couldn’t walk, use my arms very well and I couldn’t perform basic cognitive tasks. I kept locking myself out of my phone as the numbers didn’t make sense. Now I’m fully recovered and back to work. I owe my life to the NHS and all the wonderful hospital staff 💙

The comments here are shameful. I've worked at the Royal Free and I know several of the people interviewed in this documentary. They are 100% genuine clinicians and are telling the truth about the impact of COVID on the hospital. The pandemic has taken an enormous toll on them and they deserve respect, not the conspiratorial nonsense spouted in this comment section by people who have not the first clue about what has happened in hospitals over the past year.

I hope these people can live with themselves knowing they spent the pandemic years sat on their lazy, denying backsides while hospital staff worked 60+ hours a week to save peoples lives. How must those staff at the Royal Free feel after watching the documentary and reading these vile comments? Some people are utterly disgusting human beings.

I believe they are - no training here but personal experience. PTSD has roots in stress hormones, particularly in cortisol. My own case was from a pair of short-duration events of extreme violence, but it was fed by the resulting hypervigilance... for 25 years I was ready for a terrorist attack or an airliner crash at any time without shifting gears. Their ongoing severe stress is very bad news indeed, and PTSD can devastate lives.

I was in hospital last year. My GP called an ambulance due to an emergency. I was taken to hospital in an ambulance with paramedics presenting with a non-covid related illness. My mom is my main carer, I am wheelchair bound and suffer from the following diagnosis. Auto immune kidney disease, epilepsy, angina, atrial fibrillation, super ventricular tachycardia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, chronic bronchitis, osteoporosis, and DDD. once I was assessed in the accident and emergency department I was moved to a ward called MAU. My mom was told in the accident and emergency department that she would have to leave. Even though she's my carer. When I was on the ward, I noticed how isolated I was from my family. It was impossible to get a signal on my phone. I asked for a jug of water multiple times. It took nearly 9 hours for me to get a drink. I was not offered any food, I'm on diabetic medication. The nursing staff just left me in the bed, they didn't seem to have a clue what to do. And I felt forgotten. I was only in for one night and felt worse for it. It was a very unpleasant experience, it didn't feel right not being able to see my family, especially my mom. I'm glad I didn't stay in long. due to the lack of food and fluids I would have definitely deteriorated. I can see why patients are dying quicker in hospital. I'm also suspicious that patients catch covid in hospital. Anyway I'm glad I'm home.

The NHS is a failed project

[@thewaronu8842]

@@martynjukes482 Not true - it's made billions for its suppliers, encouraged people to see the state as benevolent and necessary, and helped preserve the false left-right paradigm by giving Labour a campaign issue. All the good stuff its establishment architects intended

i had a very unpleasnt experience in hospital too. i myself work for the nhs and think what some workers do is incredible but some people can be a bit lazy. when i was in hospital i needed to have a 5 minute coversation with the cadiology team and they kept me in ofor 3 nights.

Well done all working on these Covid wards ✅😘

Such an eye-opener.

I was in coma for 6 weeks, had multiple organ failure, sepsis and pneumonia and when I came round I had lock-in syndrome. I had no physio at all whilst in ICU. The cramp was horrendous but all they would do for the pain was give me morphine rather than move my limbs. A year later I have only just left hospital and still in a wheelchair.

[@963ag]

My sister has locked- in syndrome from a stroke caused by Covid complications and co- morbidities. Despite my being vaccinated, and meticulous care ( masking and hygiene) I tested positive this morning.

Some of these comments are hilarious. The denial of what is going on in the world with COVID is staggering. The conspiracy theorist who spout their rubbish make for a humorous read though. It’s hard to believe that so many comments are hateful and disrespectful of those who have died and their families.

That was so sad 😞😥to watch Tony pass away I was getting mad because they had him keep talking on the interview knowing he had trouble breathing bless 🙌🙏😢him 👀good bye my friend

[@trueintuition1961]

The real heroes are the staff of the hospitals, from the bottom to the top. I would love to see our US government officials w PPE volunteering their lives and time serving the people who put them in charge. I would dare, the ones declaring they won't get infected, volunteer as well. We need all the Brave souls helping the ones who are infected. But I don't see any one of the anti vaxers helping the cause...only hindering it.

[@levanielmidoriya5701]

To have to be the one at a patients bedside in their last moments, to be the last connection those who die have, I can only try to imagine how mentally taxing it is to do it on a near daily basis. The idea of ppl thinking this is just the flu or a conspiracy is absolutely shameful. These ppl might as well have been there on D day taking care of injured soldiers.

I had covid last year and it sucked

[@cheryl2367]

Please put more money into the NHS. It’s needed🙏🙏🙏. More equipment, space, staff and basically everything. People need health and be alive before anything. Otherwise if they’re dead, what else do they need? Money, fame, work?

Feel for the staff and the patients

RIP Tony 😢😭

[@captainsidewinder]

It’s sad to see a machine the NHS being ran at full capacity but seeing it struggle to handle it is even more sad, years of constant funding cuts have weakened the machine instead of strengthening it over the decades since it was first made, it should have easily been able to handle the country’s needs and then some with ease a long time ago

[@subject1683]

Those who believe it is their right to choose not to be vaccinated should have to watch documentaries such as this one. The staff have done a phenomenal job and deserve all the support they can get. Dima has such a positive outlook, I hope she is well and hasn't suffered long term physical effects.

Heroes!🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀🍀

[@scrublord5760]

My 28 year old cousin died from covid… he had to be on the ventilator and it popped his lung. Horrible way to die. Please get vaccinated. He didn’t get it and I had to watch his mother grieve. Please for your family get the vaccine

It's different for everyone. My mom was 69 with covid. I took care of her for almost 3 weeks. She beat it. There was some difficulty breathing, but no fever. I've never tested positive for covid, and my antibody test was negative as well.

[@desireunikorn5018]

It's true, my dad is 50 he caught covid an almost died whereas the rest of my family including me had mild symptoms.

[@tyangmi7566]

we are at it again, fighting for rooms in the hospital, fighting for ventilators, struggles of healthcare workers!!!! When this will stop!!!

[@963ag]

Despite meticulous care - double masking and hygiene, I tested positive this morning and have full- blown symptoms. What makes matters worse, is I live alone, don't have family here in the U.S. ( I live on the border) and don't drive. This makes it difficult to maneuver - shopping, going to the Dr., etc. I am on a fixed income and can't take an Uber - going by bus would be crazy as I feel weak and am coughing heavily.

[@963ag]

And I had 3 vaccines!

I had covid in March of 2020. The aftermath is still troubling me four years later. I was in the hospital for a month, in a coma for three weeks, and when I woke up I couldn’t walk. I had to go into a nursing facility to learn how to walk again, amongst other things. Covid took my singing voice and I walk with a cane. I lack energy to do a lot of things. I’m back at work, but limited to what I can do. It frustrates me because I’m 56 years old.
