I have seen a lot of Covid come through my ER. Most of it was pretty mild. Occasionally though, you would get someone with an SPO2 of 60-70% and looking real bad. Some of these people ended up intubated within 15-30 minutes of arrival. Can you imagine that? Go to the ER and the Doc says he needs to put you top sleep so he can put a tube down your throat to help you breathe and there’s a chance that this is the last time you’ll ever lay your eyes on anyone in the land of the living. I saw more than a few times. I do not want Covid. I do not want to be in that situation. I picked my poison and took the vaccine. I was in the front of the line even.
You and me both, brother.
Thanks so much for all you do in the ER. You are real life savers.
It is almost non existent.
