“When people first become bad, it is not like anything else I have seen before. It is going just as strong as a cardiac arrest. It is so hard to stabilize.”
How does it sound from Annabell Bønløkke Hansen. She is one of the nurses, who are thrown into the fight against the coronavirus.
When she goes to work now, is it with a totally different mission than just a month ago, where she used her skills as a nurse to something else entirely.
She was already ready to sign up, before she knew that her normal work was closed. So she would just work twice, reads it from her.
“It is my duty to help, when I have the skills to put people in the oxygen mask,” says Annabell.
Her specialty as a nurse is the lungemedicinske, and therefore she quickly became a part of the department for the corona virus at Hvidovre Hospital in denmark. She fits on them, as long as they are healthy enough not to have to in respiratory treatment.
“I have sent a 28-year-old with asthma in the respirator. It is not fun.”
Even though she seems that the pandemic is tackled well in Denmark, there are still many challenges and circumstances that give rise to frustrations at the temporary work.
It is, among other things, that it is a disease that can’t yet be cured, but only symptombehandles, such fear in relation to whether the protection equipment required rows, and coworkers with widely varying competencies and pressed colleagues.
In a watch, there must be at least a with of pulmonary medicine specialty and at least with the cardio-medical specialty, while the remaining don’t need to be from a specific specialty. Therefore, Annabell also, she sometimes stands with greater responsibility, than she would have received under normal circumstances.
“It’s mega scary, that one is faced with a disease, you don’t know better. So now do we just everything that we know about, and hope that it works. But it’s unstable,” explains Annabell and adds:
“There are many things that are insanely frustrating, because there is a lot associated with conscience and guilt in all this.”
Now is good working hours changed with treholdsskift, and a mission to beautify people is changed out with a mission to save the people. Botox and fillers are replaced with oxygen and diuretics.
Before coronakrisen broke out, had Annabell namely his daily walk in Clinic A as A cosmetic nurse.
There went the working day to stick in people’s lips, forehead, cheekbones, chin or jaw. Or the entire face, if it was what the client wanted. Annabell could easily have 15-20 people through on a working day.
But ever since she stopped with the real work in the public, she has had a flex job at the lungemedicinske department at Amager Hospital, where she had guards about every other weekend.
She believes that it is important to keep the life-saving properties by just.
“I work with the lidocaine (local anesthesia, ed.) every half hour, so there is potentially the risk of allergic shock every half hour. There is also the risk of cardiac arrest, so if she can deal with it, so I think not that you are skilled enough to be at a cosmetic clinic.”
Even though she feels privileged to be with to get the corona department to run around, she is not tempted to return to the public hospital sector, when the crisis ends:
“I have promised to return to the Clinic A and obtain something of all that is lost. But I will also continue to flex at Amager Hospital.”
