Last night before I intubated a lovely man with COVID, he insisted on calling his boss to explain why he wouldn’t be into work on Mon. He was so short of breath I had to finish the call for him. In the aftermath I realized how this job was a lifeline for him. It left me unnerved.
Finishing ICU night call - 6 new consults, all COVID.
The last one was in early 30s. Got COVID from parent who works at a warehouse. They got sick because two coworkers showed up to work with a fever and cough.
His x-ray, worsened over 48 hrs. Now in ICU. 30s.
PAID SICK LEAVE!
