YOURSAY | Record high deaths – our health system collapsing
It is very disheartening to hear Bowie Kong’s ordeal in losing her father and the lack of care he received while in hospital for Covid-19. My heart goes out to you. Condolences to you and your family.
Many instances of this have happened and the common denominator seems to be the long wait in emergency departments for reviews and admissions. The other single nurse is the runner accompanying patients to CT scans, getting the medications and all other auxiliary stuff. They change roles on different days. So, you can imagine how care is compromised. More so if a patient needs to be turned prone to help ventilation and the patients cannot help as they are too obese or exhausted to do it for themselves.
This has been going on for months. My anaesthesia colleague managing one of the ICUs said she had sleepless nights for weeks, but after months dealing with the worsening situation, she has become numb. She sleeps now because she is tired, no more tears to spare. This is what a failed system is. Everything is collapsing in our health facilities. This has been highlighted by many frontliners. Nothing is being done. This is all under the watch of our top leaders, who need to take the blame.
