For all their hero status, health workers are facing unimaginable pressure during the pandemic. Dr. Lorna M. Breen, an emergency room doctor at a New York City hospital, was known for being unflappable — until she faced the coronavirus.https://nyti.ms/2ZlO9SZ
In mid-March, Dr. Breen showed symptoms of Covid-19. Feverish and exhausted, she quarantined at home. She slept 14 hours in a row, was drained by small tasks, lost 5 pounds. But she still tried to sort out work problems, like a shortage of oxygen tanks.https://nyti.ms/2OhsEMw
When Dr. Breen returned to work on April 1, her emergency room was chaotic. She was scheduled for long shifts that bled into one another. Her coworkers found her frazzled and unlike her usual confident self. https://nyti.ms/2OhsEMw pic.twitter.com/JGNHGSDObK
When Dr. Breen finally called family for help, she sounded so unlike herself that her sister wondered if Covid-19 had altered her brain. Dr. Breen was checked into a psychiatric ward. A week after she got out, on April 26, she took her life.https://nyti.ms/2OhsEMw
Dr. Breen’s family and friends believe she was haunted by the number of people she could not save. She was devastated that she had suffered a breakdown when the city was desperate for heroes. And she was certain her career would not survive it. https://nyti.ms/2OhsEMw pic.twitter.com/fihJBEegMK
Emergency physicians are asked to be saviors. During the global coronavirus crisis, expectations of bravery have only mounted. Dr. Breen’s story exposes the trauma that doctors comfortably diagnose, but are reluctant to personally reveal.https://nyti.ms/2OhsEMw
One of Dr. Breen’s friends said their last conversation has become especially crushing: At one point, Dr. Breen had gotten stuck on a thought and kept repeating herself. https://nyti.ms/2OhsEMw pic.twitter.com/zAFSGx8WOd
The GOP has become the party of pro-virus and this is putting undo stress on our medical system. Thousands will die needlessly because of government incompetence.
