Join me for a night shift in the COVID-19 ICU in Ontario, Canada. I'm Siobhan, a 4th year medical resident and I'm going to bring you behind the scenes in the hospital. The 3rd wave is being driven by COVID-19 variants, which are spreading faster and affecting younger people. With record numbers of hospital and ICU admissions, the military is setting up field hospitals to care for more patients.
Stay safe, support one another, and get vaccinated when you are eligible!
Special THANK YOU to Brittany (MD), Erin (RN), Jen (RN) and the entire ICU team for supporting and collaborating on this video!

What happened and I don’t hear any people worried about that we’re fighting over LGBT an abortion all this other stuff, people need to pressure their government to make sure that are nurses and doctors are prepared for this because it keeps happening. It will not change we’re globalized, and if we continue to be a globalized player, we need to change and reform many things, and no one’s talking about it because it has caused enormous ramifications, but not one person is talking about that.!!!! 😡

That seems to be new with the Delta variant. Congratulations for joining those of us who have stepped back from the brink! I was in a high school that made national news because there was a race riot and the police refused to come on campus, lived for several years in the highest crime district in East Oakland (California) and was run out of the house at shotgun point by my alcoholic stepmother when I was 13, but realistically this is the diciest situation I have experienced.

If you haven’t please get vaccinated these poor front line staff are exhausted just MSM are ignoring how bad it really is some states worse than others. I have a friend in Oklahoma and she said covid is ravaging the community, no one wears masks, no one has to go into quarantine hence covid spreading like wildfire. I live in Australia and it’s spreading here, they are encouraging people to be vaccinated but of course we have all these idiots saying “it’s all a conspiracy” ……funny how they change their mind if they get covid. I hope they make life so difficult for those NOT vaccinated that they get it so we can all live like normal again instead of being in constant lockdowns. Some “religions” refuse, they ignore everything……
