‘It doesn’t get easier when you lose a patient and it never gets easier informing the family. You go home and cry, but the next day you just go back to work and do it all again.”
These are the words of an intensive care unit (ICU) doctor working in a Gauteng hospital, describing what it is like being on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“It’s stressful and emotionally draining. These ICU patients are very ill and you know that if you don’t give 100%, they might not make it through the night. The course of the disease is so unpredictable.”
