Nicole Sirotek , a Nevada nurse who went to work in New York during the coronavirus pandemic crisis, made a terrible complaint in a YouTube video. "Black lives don't matter here," he said, adding that "gross negligence and complete medical mismanagement" are causing the death of patients.
The health worker claimed that when she tried to insist on treating her black and Hispanic patients, she was promptly removed from the cases, and witnessed fatal medical actions. "They don't care what is happening to these people. And I just have to keep watching them die ... Oh, God, "says Sirotek affected in the video, referring to the superiors and patients of the hospital.
She claimed that an anesthesiologist improperly intubated a patient and that when told to the doctor, she refused to believe it and waited five hours before an x-ray confirmed the error . The patient died , Sirotek said.
He also claimed that another infected person wrongly received chest compressions and died, while another was given the wrong insulin and died. "Stay out of New York City for your medical care," he warned. "They don't care what is happening to these people ... It's like entering the f-king Twilight Zone (The Unknown Dimension)."
Nicole Sirotek, a Nevada nurse who went to work in New York during the coronavirus pandemic crisis, made a terrible complaint in a YouTube video.
Sirotek never mentioned which hospitals he had been working at. But Quinton Martinez, a fellow Nevada nurse who also came to town to help treat patients with Covid-19, told the New York Post that Sirotek was initially working at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens before being transferred to another installation, where they got it from when the video appeared.
On the trauma that Sirotek claimed to have witnessed, Martinez added: “I was not surprised that it was happening to her (…) Based on what I saw, I thought they would have greater respect for people and infection control practices to help prevent patients from getting worse, ”he said of the city's health system.
Martinez said Sirotek was hired by a health care personnel company that was providing workers for the city's hospital system. The company declined to say whether Sirotek worked for them, citing employee confidentiality.
