'As bad as it can be:' Central Florida ICU nurse describes COVID-19 surge
Lindsey Fairchild is a registered nurse, working in the COVID-19 ICU at a Volusia County hospital. She said hospital beds are filling up and the spike in patients are stretching doctors and nurses thin.
“It’s as bad as it can be. It’s a horrifying scene to go to on a day-to-day basis. People are fighting for their lives and it’s a minute-by-minute struggle. It’s hard to watch, it’s hard to be a part of it and see human beings suffer so greatly and there’s not a whole lot you can do to help them,” said Fairchild.
