Heartbreaking footage has revealed Covid patient Tony Brown s dying wish to see his wife again just a day before he succumbed to Covid-19.
Mr Brown was a patient at the Barnet Hospital in North London where Sky News revealed the harrowing scenes on Covid wards where seriously ill patients are cared for by exhausted and over-stretched NHS staff.
One nurse described the situation inside the Royal Free Hospital in London as like hell due to the huge number of really sick patients currently being treated on ventilators.
And a morturary manager at the Royal Free Hospital NHS Trust, which runs Barnet Hospital along with the Royal Free, said patients are decades younger in the second wave, with the average age now just 59 – a decade lower than it was the first time around.
