One of my first COVID patients was a young man, 38 years old. He was a nurse, like me. Sometimes his sedation would be too low, and he would wake up and gesture to me for the things that he needed. He couldn’t write, so most of the time it took a long while for me to get the message. When I did and helped him with those things, he would sign “thank you.”
“Beautiful and brilliant. The exquisite writing is vivid, poetic and perceptive; the characters alive and compelling. Everything I want from a novel. I loved it.”
―Stephen Merchant
Sometimes I would just stand there holding hands with him, and I would massage his head with my free hand until the increased sedation dose kicked in. I felt a kinship with him. I thought about him every day. Did I do enough? Did I do everything I could? Did I advocate enough for him? “He’s young,” I thought, “he’ll be ok.”
After a week like this, he died. The day I found out I went into a new patient’s room, gowned and masked, and I cried as I completed my daily tasks: performing my assessment, administering medications, making sure he was clean and appeared comfortable. He wasn’t conscious, so I didn’t care that I had tears streaming down my face.
There wasn’t time to feel my feelings. I just had to move on and take care of the many other people so they wouldn’t die, too. The worst part was that most of them did anyway.
