JAKARTA — A hospital (RS) in North Jakarta was forced to place some Covid-19 patients in the hallways because the rooms and beds were full.
Quoted from detikcom, this appalling condition was told by one of the nurses who served at the hospital.
“ Honestly, now the hospital is really full. Until I was guarding the emergency room, the patient sat on a chair because there was no bed anymore. Some of us are forced to taro in the hallways because the room is full, or even in front of our table the contents are patients, ” explained the nurse with the initials O when contacted by detik.com, Tuesday (9/15/2020).
“ If the patient is congested we are immediately busy looking for oxygen cylinders. And honestly we also lack energy because many of our friends are positive, they have to be isolated or treated in hospital, ” he continued.
Said O, the moment of emotion he felt was when the patient experienced shortness of breath. An hour later, the patient stopped breathing, with no success in fighting Covid-19.
“ Experience so far is definitely afraid, but it must be faced. It’s sad for sure because every working day seeing the patients coming in, they are still conscious but very quickly deteriorating or decreasing, even the process of new patients arriving and dying is fast because of severe shortness of breath, “ added O.
“Death that fast, even though we oath to work really hard to maintain the condition of my patient here is really a real story,” explained O.
In fact, O said, the nurses had to experience bruises due to being overwhelmed with corona patients, which continued to increase every day. Starting from treating corona patients with mild to severe symptoms.
Sometimes, he can’t stop thinking that finding someone who judges the corona virus is a conspiracy theory. In fact, he and his colleagues face real danger from coronavirus every day.
