“Each time it’s a failure,” said Ferrari, the nursing coordinator at the Bergamo’ hospital. You do everything for the patient, and “at the end, if you’re a believer, there is someone above you who has decided another destiny for that person.”

In Italy, the national association of nurses and psychologists asked the government for a coordinated, nationwide response for the mental health care needs of medical personnel, warning the “typical wave of stress disturbances is only going to grow over time.”Dr. Luis Díaz Izquierdo, from the emergency service ward in suburban Madrid’s Severo Ochoa Hospital, said the sense of helplessness is crushing for those who watch as patients deteriorate in a matter of hours.

“The psychological stress from this time is going to be difficult to forget. It has just been too much,” he said. “The fear, the envy and the fantasy in continuous communication, repeated 24 hours per day in media, has been an obsession that health workers couldn’t forget,” he said, adding that his hospital had mental health professionals working with patients and staff from the start, and that effort will continue.At San Carlos, nearly 15% of the 1,400-member staff have been infected, in line with medical workers nationwide.

RIP If the world gives a CCPChina another pass, I do not know what will happen to the world.

nadabakos Awwwww Jesus...

nadabakos Have new cases declined or has the rate of increase in new cases declined?

😢💔

Have more vitamin C rich food, like tomatoes 🍅 , carrots 🥕, orange 🍊 , add lemon/ginger water , have hot bath, chew raw ginger/garlic to help the immune system, lots of water and good sleep , mask and glasses😴🍇🥬🛁💦😷🤓

That just goes to show HOW BAD medical employees are!

This is absolutely tragic! I can’t imagine what these nurses experienced while caring for infected patients! It had to be quite horrific for them to take their own lives.😢

Come on. Y’all went through the black death and that didn’t destroy the empire. You’ll make it through this.

The psychological impact to everyone is imperative. Sequestering is going to cause a lot of anxiety and depression. Killing yourself is not the answer.

Let's not forget the hourly workers behind the scenes. The hospital staff like security, cafeteria and janitorial staff that clean every ICU unit, room, hallway, restroom in those same buildings. And to their families. Thank you.

Can IshaUSA help the doctors and nurses in some way to deal with this stress and emotions!? SadhguruJV ishafoundation Any simple process they can do to be ok!?

If any medical professionals are reading and feeling rough, please DM me. I was a hospice CNA, I would be happy to talk to you. If not, please reach out, please talk, and share. Don’t hold this inside.

Dear lord keep these nurses strong do not let darkness over take them 🙏

This is truly sad but there is NO FIX to emotional distress during a pandemic. Doctors are saving our lives everyday but they signed up for this and the time has come... and they’ve stepped up! There needs to be more help for nurses and docs for PTSD yet the fight continues...

Watching more people die in one day then you've seen your whole career takes it toll

This is terrible.
