Growth of calls to “Emergency”. All this against the background of hospitals with full beds. The head of the Emergency Department at SofiaMed, Dr. Ivan Hristov, compared the situation from the beginning of the week to “real hell”.
“About 30 patients passed away in a very serious condition. The beds were gone. People come in a worse condition. They have a large lung involvement and low saturation.
This requires rapid admission to Resuscitation. Many patients think that it will be easier to heal at home. It is noteworthy that the British version of the virus is much more difficult, “he said on Nova TV.
During this period, more patients over the age of 50 passed through the hospital’s Emergency Department. The beds in the infectious diseases wards are currently full.
“Let’s not forget that the staff is at the limit of their strength.
There were 14 of us doctors, at one point there were only two left, who were exhausted and were on duty 24 hours a day. All the staff went through this disease. We have colleagues who have fallen ill twice.
A nurse died at the age of 40, another colleague had the virus very badly and in intensive care, miraculously survived. We all went through this situation, which was very difficult, “said Dr. Hristov.
He recommends starting a sport if we notice that our saturation is low. The doctor himself started boxing to support his lungs.
The doctor also recommends that we take preventive measures and take vitamins.
Mass vaccination is also among the measures that, according to Dr. Hristov, will help the country cope with the difficult situation.
