Gitte Anna Madsen had never thought that she in the easter holidays should have as little to do as lungelæge at Aarhus university Hospital.
a month ago thought she was, in fact, that coronavirussen would peak just around easter, which would mean a pressure and stressful everyday life.
But the most recent time far from been.
“I have never, ever experienced such a patienttomt hospital as now. Usually there are slightly fewer patients in the hospitals, when the weather is good, but this here is totally exceptional,” she said to Aarhus Stiftstidende.
Indeed, this is just half of all the beds filled up on lungeafdelingen.
A department, which, otherwise, always tend to have a full house.
Aarhus university Hospital has also only made use of one of the four covid-19-section, where Gitte Anna Madsen should have been a part of the unopened section.
Section, which she now doubt ever open.
while previous forecasts predicted that coronavirussens took seriously would hit the health sector hard around easter, as is the large number of patients failed to materialize.
There were worries about whether one could obtain respirators and enough staff, just like they canceled non-emergency surgeries, while they trained additional health workers, so everyone was ready to take care of the many coronapatienter.
Gitte Anna Madsen was several weeks ago while out to tell how she feared having to choose between who should live and die.
But there it is – fortunately – not gone.
instead have a section of staff at Aarhus university Hospital got free in the easter holidays, and several of Gitte colleagues have chosen to spent some of their time off.
But it does not mean that lungelægen now can just breathe a sigh of relief. She fears what will happen when, after easter will be opened up day-care centres and schools could in the country.
in Fact, does she expect, that it will lead to a sudden need to run fast again.
this is Why both she and the hospital, of course, also clear, if it ends up being the case.
