Hospitals across the country are facing a two-pronged crisis of thin staffing and more COVID-19 patients than ever before. Employees who remain have no choice but to shoulder bigger burdens.
Angie Wheeler had bonded with her patient, and now his body was failing. The nurse tried not to let him see the concern in her eyes.
Doctors calling into a peer support line, created by Philadelphia-area psychiatrist Mona Masood at the beginning of the pandemic, now frequently lament the erosion of trust that misinformation about coronavirus vaccines has caused between patients and doctors, Masood said.During this surge, calls to the Physician Support Line have roughly doubled.
Instead of quitting, though, Wheeler doubled down, picking up extra shifts to help with nursing shortages. It hasn't been easy. The number of covid-19 patients that staff members at Doctors Community Hospital are seeing - from about eight a day before Thanksgiving to more than 80 - dwarfs the approximately 50 covid-19 patients the hospital treated per day during the same period last January.
The number of patients being treated dipped in the past two weeks, mirroring state and national trends. Still, Richmond worries, especially when she thinks about the future.
