  • The frustrating thing about all of this

  • is it really just feels like it’s too little, too late.

  • Like we knewwe knew it was coming.

  • Today is kind of getting worse and worse.

  • We had to get a refrigerated truck

  • to store the bodies of patients who are dying.

  • We are, right now, scrambling to try

  • to get a few additional ventilators or even

  • CPAP machines.

  • If we could get CPAP machines,

  • we could free up ventilators for patients who need them.

  • You know, we now have these five vents.

  • We probablyunless people die, I suspect well

  • be back to needing to beg for ventilators again

  • in another day or two.

  • There’s a mythical 100 vents out there

  • which we haven’t seen.

  • Leaders in various offices, from the president

  • to the head of Health and Hospitals,

  • saying things like, ‘Were going to be fine.

  • Everything’s fine.’

  • And from our perspective, everything is not fine.

  • I don’t have the support that I need,

  • and even just the materials that I need, physically,

  • to take care of my patients.

  • And it’s America, and were supposed

  • to be a first-world country.

  • On a regular day, my emergency department’s volume

  • is pretty high.

  • It’s about 200 people a day.

  • Now were seeing 400 or more people a day.

  • At first, we were trying to isolate patients

  • with cough and fever and be more careful around them,

  • but we weren’t necessarily being

  • extra careful around all the other patients.

  • And then we started to realize that patients

  • who were coming in with no fever but abdominal pain

  • actually had findings on their X-rays and chest CTs

  • that were consistent with this coronavirus,

  • Covid-19.

  • So someone in a car accident gets brought in

  • and we get a CT scan of them, and their lungs

  • look like they have coronavirus.

  • We were seeing a lot of patients who probably had

  • Covid, but we didn’t realize.

  • Ten residents and also many, many of our nurses

  • and a few of the attending physicians got sick.

  • The anxiety of this situation is really overwhelming.

  • All of the doctors, it’s hard for us

  • to get tested even if we want to, even if we have symptoms.

  • Were exposed over and over again.

  • We don’t have the protective equipment

  • that we should have.

  • I put on one N95 mask in the morning.

  • I need to have that N95 mask on for every patient I see.

  • I don’t take it off all day.

  • The N95 mask I wore today is also the N95 mask

  • I wore on Friday.

  • Were always worried that well be out of N95 masks.

  • What’s a little bit scary now is the patients

  • that were getting are much sicker.

  • Many of the young people who are getting sick

  • don’t smoke, theyre healthy, they have no co-morbidities.

  • Theyre just young, regular people

  • between the ages of 30 and 50 who you would not expect

  • to get this sick.

  • So many people are saying it’s going to be OK,

  • everything’s fine, we have what we need.

  • And if this goes on for a month or two or three or five

  • like it did in China, and were already this strained,

  • we don’t have what we need.

  • I don’t really care if I get in trouble

  • for speaking to the media.

  • I want people to know that this is bad.

  • People are dying.

  • We don’t have the tools that we need

  • in the emergency department and in the hospital

  • to take care of them, and

  • and it’s really hard.”
