Deflated health care workers and desperate patients clash overalternative Covid treatments. "Dr. Jack Lyons remembers the pandemic's early days when grateful communities banged pots and pans to honor frontline health care workers.
But now, faced with hostility just for trying to save his patients' lives, he says that, sadly, those days are long gone.
Lyons is one of the many doctors and nurses tackling the rise in Covid-19 cases that are flooding hospitals as the Omicron variant rapidly spreads throughout the country.
Now health care workers fighting on the front lines of the pandemic are also coming face to face with patients who dismiss and even threaten them over how they are being treated for the virus.
'Folks act as if they can come in the hospital and request any certain therapy they want or conversely decline any therapy they want with the idea being that somehow they can pick and choose and direct their therapy. And it doesn't work,' Lyons told CNN from the CentraCare hospital he works at in St. Cloud, Minnesota. About 70% of the patients in Lyons' ICU are sick with Covid-19, and almost all of them are unvaccinated. 'The most difficult experience we've had is a patient's family who under a pseudonym had made threats against the hospital,' Lyons said. 'There was a reference to making sure the hospital was locked and we've got people that are coming for you.'"
These doctors and nurses are heroes who have worked nonstop for two years to save their patients' lives, and this is the thanks they get!
I suggest the doctors have the police escort these selfish, ungrateful, unvaccinated people out of the hospital and give them directions to the nearest veterinary clinic!
