12:33 pm
a bill seeking to raise millions of dollars from the super rich poor families hit hard by them and counting the cost on al-jazeera. so my name's jenny brady i am the pulmonary and critical care physician. was born and raised in new york city. in a lifelong. occurring as long stretch. we're in the i.c.u. on a or 5 week street. and happens to coincide with the emergence of corona
12:34 pm
virus in boston. and it's something that i think. raises a lot owns. certainty and sears amongst all who are back at the scene because. there are so many unknowns we don't know how bad it and. it's march 20th about 1 am up and clearly california and it was another calm day today our patient volumes have been very low and the fuel was just great we are running a little bit later on. in years so and was unable to find an adult mask but i've got this pretty sweet
12:35 pm
kids master where. they're going out the best. to get the job done. and e.r. physician and i work at a couple community hospitals just outside boston most of full time student right now i'm getting my m.b.a. from mit and so what that really means is that i'm in classes monday to thursday especially during the week and i work on the weekends. and so. things have been pretty crazy the last few weeks and i'm fortunate that i have these breaks in between my shifts my next step just tomorrow and so. it's really hard to know what to expect.
12:36 pm
it will continue or looks like a small lunch box and has money and. my name on it and this is my name that i'm going to be using in the entire. at least the entire week maybe longer. i was doing a lot of research say try to find out if there are specific guidelines and of course because it's a pretty new virus there are a lot of published guidelines available so it's if you do what you think is best. and hopefully i did what's best for my patients. interestingly enough i don't test a single person today for good even though about half the patients i saw definitely
12:37 pm
had it and that's because our low on task. required admission and for a minute are met the criteria that we look for. it's march 30th about midnight you know and i just had my 1st death likely from cove it super sad story it was a 65 year old male who was walking and talking earlier tonight but had been complaining us maturing as a prophet recently with new visitor policies in the hospital it's really really difficult. you have to go to family and say your loved one has just died but you cannot visit them right now i think that as things ramp up it's going to have a much different much crazier but events will change and it's going to feel much different in the emergency room.
12:38 pm
i think we sort of like compartmentalize and shut off the terribleness of it and connect just enough you know to to have. empathy one when talking to the families but i think. you know if you really took every case and every death. to heart and be impossible to do the job that we do. so i think that's like a coping mechanism and i think if there's an appropriate balance of. being in touch with your emotions but not too much that you're. crying over every patient you can't keep. but everyone to others like a patient will touch you and you don't know why maybe you like the family maybe the patient's hands reminded your dad or. whatever it is it does like us and connect to
12:39 pm
your core and you feel this surge of emotion this lump in your throat in the water in your eyes and you're like i don't have to turn this off. here in new york might be getting a little bit that's what they're saying. is that my mom always time she was in new york city and i go down once a month to see erin i mean will to see her. it's always hard you're always there get over how sick. my car broke down on sunday and i call aaa and aaa says you know have you. been in contact with somebody who you know has cars houses like. no because i knew i say yes they're not going to. come help me with my car so it's saturday april 4th just finished
12:40 pm
a shift and. volumes are still very low in the emergency room across the multiple sites that i work at in the bay area so another interesting development i am going to try to go to new york city to see if i can get a locums job i think that this time as emergency medicines spotlight's. and if you kind of a shame to not see what. what is going on in new york city. erlanger i am feeling very fortunate that i am not fulltime anymore i can see my
12:41 pm
colleagues just really drained and everyone's very aggravated with the whole shift changes because we are not working as much and so we're not going paid and the patients need us there so the whole thing is just really crazy nurses are really not happy with the short staffed providers because sick patients are waiting for mail on time even though we have enough people all theory and theoretically just. doctors home early and the whole thing is just crazy. but i'm trying to cut back on our hours because i guess more expensive and there are you know hospitals not making any money off of the elective surgeries that i feel like today was busy her car less so. icing on our initial drive ahead of me thankfully there is no traffic i guess that's one of the most. positive things i can think of and it's entire situation. were
12:42 pm
there. as. it was the coffee craze now. i. just finished a night shift it was a lot one julie launch. i don't see. that. it ended with a terrible death so it's always like this it's awful. every patient is you know global glaive year olds blah blah share with the rest of her a failure from kroger's it just kind of can be a little bit. monotonous today we had
12:43 pm
a patient come in who was interested in the emergency room and i was putting in a central line or no you know. real artery line in her wrist and while i was doing it the nurse was going through her belongings and came across a sandwich in her bag their bag of blunt it's like this woman walked into the emergency room. i might have to wait a while so i should get a sandwich and got a sandwich and now is on life support without family around her because we're not allowing families in the whole suddenly i look at her and like saw her as a person instead of just a patient coronavirus. monday
12:44 pm
april 13th 0930 and i and i just got home 2 weeks ago i was kind. of like but now that my patients have gotten better and that this is a long haul to recovery and i look back last night those patients faced i think it's i know 10 people. that. got. some or so i've. gotten that are. that's just my aunt sally sara.
12:45 pm
who. writes of going to have a little bit longer of an update of where i am how i got here and what's been going on 0 i'm currently working in a qubit unit it's in the washington heights neighborhood of manhattan this unit was set up about 2 weeks ago it's set up in the not in the main hospital we're currently in the lobby of the hospital i'm not sure if the hospitals in california are doing quite as openly but we were addressing family members up with with them and $95.00 and p. and them to come and visit which which is incredibly necessary. i was we all we have i pads next year all the beds so asians can face time if they don't have their own fountains. i definitely feel
12:46 pm
a little bit nervous that contract encoded but who knows i might have been positive at some point in the past i might have been through it i don't now. i'm generally much more careful now. i've been very good at putting on a mask and not touching it while it's on and i think i yeah. it's definitely when somebody touches their face i think i touch my face earlier in this video but it's. definitely i noticed that i really wanted to see more and understand covert it's a fascinating fascinating illness and i've only been. in the past few days getting to understand a little bit. understanding how it's changing our practice of
12:47 pm
medicine. i thought with that line. this is america rose he is my esteemed colleague. after the theme various names. and very very exciting news to share today april 19th i extubated. which is awesome is awesome i have been working in like a good hunk on service for weeks and weeks and weeks and have not executed a single piece. and. today
12:48 pm
which was thrilling and i call 1st ring do you remember picks up so if you look. at early updated them they were expecting another phone call and he said new sex to be yet and he's doing great. and they're like genuine joint on the other end of the line and you know like. this is the best news i've heard in weeks thank you thank you yeah that really can they get enough sleep. will you will it is just felt really good to deliver that news. and your patients are paying for their lives and we're fighting for them but these members are home. i mean brain do you everything. will hear a lot there and you could just hear the relief. on the other end of the song.
12:49 pm
now felt great. i it's april 30th 2020 and. i have my next shift tomorrow on friday. but i just found out that it smashed at this hospital which is also that i've been working in for 4 years i just found out that they are cutting our show us because there is not enough volume to the pandemic and they can't give me any more shifts for an indefinite time. i'm in a bit of a disbelief i'm really upset about it and state whether they have another hospital
12:50 pm
that i work at. although i'm sure many hear from them a minute they're canceling my shift as well next week. i just can't believe that the time when we have we're in the middle of the day is health crisis for a generation and me as an e.r. doctor has suddenly left in a position where i don't have a job and worried about my rant. i mean m.p.'s and we're fortunate people in terms of my training in terms of you know what i do but right now i don't feel that way they have to move to a smaller place so i get for it you know when i'm going to get more shots of this hospital again maybe i can offer another job.
12:51 pm
if love this place. can't leave that to mars around stay. yes especially as for my. i have a couple that. has off today is to my patients died. one was pretty young she's under 50 is. and. my resident called the sun to come be with her so the mom was on. maximum. dose of this high flow oxygen the her son was waiting outside of her own carry him to the window. again by the last moments of his ma. and. she wanted to be with him and.
12:52 pm
says she asked if you take the oxygen off. and we explained that. you know if you take the oxygen off. you know. she'll die you'll die but also my feeling comfortable. and she chose to take it off and her son when. she passed away it pretty immediately. donate and yes it's good she and i have one. so in the past few days i've got to walk around the hospital and visit something and i visit the operating rooms which have turned into intensive care units. you know this is one
12:53 pm
of the cruises things that i've seen each operating room contains 3 to 4 ventilated patients so an operating room generally is not meant for any more than one patient into see 3 to 4 patients and each one of them is pretty wild also in my 2 weeks here we have only treated one. caucasian patient i think more than half of our population a spanish speaking. i think bikers to speak how much of this disease burdens. the multigenerational households and the poorer populations in manhattan and where we are you know and burdens the people that cannot socially distance. burdens the people that are unable to work from home. i think for training and it's may 8th
12:54 pm
2020. to start off with i'll say that i had to file for unemployment. yesterday did that it was just crazy never even considered that as being a possibility in my career as an emergency room physician that's the one they reach up about we say job security when somebody does anything stupid because the ironically that's true this is really interesting because i've devoted so much of my time to helping to educate patients and to understanding when they need to come to emergency room when they don't and i pride myself on that i focus i mean i'm proud that i have retained a lot of that from my training in canada and it's. been one week that has been turned upside down and now i'm realizing that i get paid by those people i get paid by the people who don't need to be in the emergency room. i get paid by the
12:55 pm
people who have a sore throat for months people who come in cause they want to pregnancy tests those people pay me. today is thursday may 14th and i'd like are really few days and i feel like i probably should have been recording but it's still ongoing so i am feeling really really burned out. really tired. today is monday me eat team work was insane on friday and i was absolutely knots i want to 34 hour day is thursday june land. think i've probably put in any hours a week for the past 2 weeks and i'm no longer able to sleep until i can by day out
