My mates daughter is a nurse up the hospital he’s just sent this onto our group chat
Please don’t go out, i’ve never experienced anything like my shift last night, I feel like i’ve gone home from a war zone, my friend had quit half way through the night. Critical care is full to the brim of 30-40 year olds. They are sending 5-6 bodies to the mortuary each shift.
A few of my friends have been redeployed to critical care and they said all they have been doing is cleaning bodies with the desensitiser stuff and putting them on body bags.
I didn’t realise how serious it was until last night. Only the healthiest are getting a ventilator and even then if they arrest they get one shock and if no cardiac output that’s it end of. Usually you would shock and give CPR in rounds for at least an hour but now it’s one shock and that’s it.
