Op-Ed: A nurse died after treating a COVID-19 patient. Here’s how you can help save medical workers like us (via latimesopinion)
In the hospital emergency department where I work, we were starting to get used to our new normal, the regular flow of COVID-19 patients along with the everyday emergencies — heart attacks, strokes and trauma.My drive home that night pulled dread and sadness along from the hospital like a wake., a nurse wearing only a surgical mask who ran to treat a COVID-19 patient who had stopped breathing.
We run the plays — the tasks we perform to pull patients back from the edge of death — over and over in our heads. We spend years training, repeating and perfecting techniques.Now, staffs at every hospital in America can’t be sure they will have enough equipment to see us through the crisis. Three months into the pandemic, the problem is still unsolved.
Tom Brady won’t even go out on the field without his favorite helmet, and refs stop play the instant one pops off a player’s head. It’s too dangerous. But I won’t take the chance treating COVID-19 patients without proper PPE. To honor Marcos’ memory, no nurse or doctor should. The Hippocratic oath doesn’t include a suicide clause.
