This was written by one of our Medical ICU nurses at Augusta University yesterday. MICU gets all the Covid 19 patients. For those that don’t think that this i...s a thing to worry about, that this won’t happen to me, that it’s just a cold. She was only 40 years old! Please take this seriously. I write this as a heavy hearted MICU (Covid-19 unit) nurse....yesterday I was humbled as this pandemic took my patient’s life. She was young, mid 40s, her daughter only 19. As I spoke with her family only via phone to make the decision to withdraw care on her mother I was emotional. My patient was a mother and a daughter and she couldn’t be surrounded by her loved ones as she drifted off to her eternal resting place. I held her hand in tons of PPE throughout the day so she would know she wasn’t alone. I held a phone to her ear so her daughter and mother could say their goodbyes. And behind closed doors many of us nurses shed tears knowing that this virus is making a comeback and she will be one of many that will not survive and will not be able to be with family as they transition over. I can’t even imagine how her family felt making that decision without being able to see her. To say my heart has taken a beating thinking about all this is an understatement. Please cherish your times with your loved ones while you have it. This virus is not gone, the second wave is upon us as we speak. Keep the nurses and doctors and respiratory therapists in your prayers still because we are emotionally drained but continue to put a smile on our faces behind our masks in hopes we can save the next patient. I will forever carry the memory of that patient with me and I pray her family finds peace in knowing that caring nurses and other staff surrounded her in her last hours.
