Hey people,
How's the quarantine life going? Chilling or killing time? Since all doctors are stressing on how they're being on high end as people actually facing the virus , I just noticed some cautious moments that shows the caution and panic the quarantine has created.
Instance # 1
Wheeled into resuscitation area today was an elderly about 88 year old female who was brought with history of unresponsiveness for more than an hour. Active resuscitation took place. Despite best attempts I had to declare her dead. I went out to look for family, I saw nobody. Till then I was in the code, my team was communicating with the family. I went out of the Emergency room looking for them.
When I saw the family, everybody was wearing a mask , not a disposable one , the other N99 mask, with hand sanitizer in their hands. They were OKAY with the death news. The thing they were worried about was walking into ED.
They just wanted me to do the formalities fast , so that they are out of the hospital. I've Never seen such active family!
Instance#2
I was done with my shift , after discussing some key points with the juniors we chose to disperse. I hear a man yelling near the resuscitation area. As far as resuscitation area was concerned none of the attendants I remember were aggressive, I peeked in to see what was the nuisance was about.
I hear a person in hospital uniform yelling at the nursing staff, " What move the patient ?move the patient? You guys are giving a deaf ear when I ask for mask for my staff ! The boys will not take the patient to ICU unless you give them mask... " Before he could complete the face mask was given to the house keeping staff who had walked in from other department to shift the patient. Otherwise very casual about Personal Protective Equipment everybody is in full gear to protect themselves from the pandemic.
So far so much
Bye!
