Taro T Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 53 minutes ago, ALF said: At ECMC, shaken doctor shares lessons from the 'Covid floor' Friday was his first shift on ECMC’s “Covid floor,” which has existed for only about a week on the hospital's 12th floor. “These were the sickest patients I have ever cared for in 25 years of doing this medicine thing,” wrote Jensen, 49, a medical school graduate from the University at Buffalo who has spent his entire life in Western New York. “The whole floor was full of sick people and absolutely shell-shocked staff.” It involves anxiety about what could happen to patients at the hospital if too many nurses and doctors were to become sick, as well as the knowledge of exactly what staff members might potentially carry home to those they love Yet what he saw Friday on the 12th floor involved an unsettling level of the unknown, a measure of fast-moving uncertainty and risk at such a point it made it difficult for him to sleep that night. While most who contract Covid-19 will recover, the greatest threat from this pandemic lies in swamping the intensive care system with too many patients. “This is no joke. This is not a drill,” Jensen wrote in his text. “The economy doesn't matter much when you're dead, and this kills people." https://buffalonews.com/2020/03/31/at-ecmc-shaken-doctor-shares-lessons-from-the-covid-floor/ And this is just the beginning in WNY An item I'd be curious to know is, when this whole episode is behind us, how many people out of the 100,000's or 1,000,000's that catch this virus will have gotten it from being in a hospital for an unrelated illness / procedure?

A lot of people are saying that the hospitals are spreading it now. It is definitely possible. My son and his fiancée finished self-quarantine on Sunday, and she was immediately scheduled to work Sunday night (local hospital, she is a nurse). He made the decision not to go to family brunch on Easter because my mother (over 70) will be there. They have no idea what she will be bringing home to them, and what they could spread to her (and us).

I wish your son and his fiancee good luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many elderly people with health issues to invite to even consider holding it. And we (my extended family) are very lucky this hit in February / March as at least 3 were in the hospital in the Fall. We'll get together for Easter next year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
