Politicians are trying to curb the enormous workload in the intensive care units through tougher measures.
A doctor outraged a headline on Instagram.
Fürth - The situation in the German intensive care units is of concern.
The fact that the patients in the hospital are getting younger and younger is also a problem for the doctors.
The German Interdisciplinary Association of Intensive and Emergency Medicine (DIVI) reported in its daily report on Wednesday 4,966 intensive care beds that are occupied by Corona * patients in Germany.
A headline in the
Bild newspaper
about the situation in the intensive care units caused great outrage among a doctor in Fürth.
Corona / Fürth: Doctor posts moving video on Instagram - "A slap in the face"
The medical director of the Fürth Clinic *, Dr. Manfred Wagner, vented his anger at the headline on Instagram. A doctor from the Moers lung clinic
told

that the actual numbers do not correspond to the disproportionate warnings from DIVI. "The alarmism of intensive care physicians is irresponsible". This quote landed as the headline above the article. "I am speechless, frustrated and at a loss after this unspeakable headline in the Bild newspaper this morning," he writes under the video. He invites everyone who caused this headline to spend a day with him in the hospital, says Wagner.
In the three and a half minute long video, he describes the situation in the Fürth hospital.
Two operating theaters are closed to move the staff from there to the intensive care units.
Doctors call numerous patients every day to explain why they have to postpone the operation.
The practical instructors, who are normally responsible for training, are also ordered to the intensive care unit.
Even the lines would partly work at the patient's bedside to compensate for the shifts.

Fürth doctor: "I too burned out after a year of pandemic"
"Only with all these measures can we get the intensive care beds and supplies right at the moment," says Wagner in the video.
His staff would give everything to care for the patients.
And he too was "burned out" after a year of pandemic.
To read a statement like this from “pseudo-doctors” is like a “slap in the face” for everyone who has been trying for a year to cope with the pandemic in the hospitals.
