Unvaccinated corona patients seriously ill - high burden for doctors and nurses: "It is so superfluous"

In Nuremberg, the majority of unvaccinated corona patients are in the hospital.

A doctor reports how stressful the situation is currently for his team.

Nuremberg - The fourth Corona * wave is also rolling in the Free State.

As CSU boss Markus Söder * and his ministers have repeatedly emphasized, vaccination * is a decisive factor in fighting pandemics.

But the vaccination campaign has long since stalled.

While many older patients with corona infection were treated in the clinics in the first waves, the age has now fallen.

At the Nuremberg Clinic *, the average age is currently in their mid-50s, but there are also patients in their thirties.

As

reported by

nordbayern.de

, they have one thing in common: Almost all of them are not vaccinated against Corona.

The number of corona patients has increased recently, reports Prof. Dr.

Joachim Ficker in an interview with the portal.

The ascent did not come as fast as in the waves before.

Corona in Nuremberg: Mostly unvaccinated people in the hospital

"There is not a single otherwise healthy vaccinated person on the wards," reports the doctor to

nordbayern.de

.

If there is a breakthrough in vaccination, it is said that there are isolated elderly people with previous illnesses, but often also patients who only had a limited vaccination success due to an immunosuppressive previous illness or therapy.

Dialysis patients, for example, are affected because vaccinations generally work worse for them.

“But otherwise they are unvaccinated patients,” the doctor continued.

Unvaccinated corona patients in Nuremberg - "The most common reaction is a shock"

But how do unvaccinated corona patients who have consciously decided against vaccination react? "The most common reaction is a shock," reports the doctor to the portal. Some people say that they didn't take the danger seriously, or that they didn't have time for a vaccination and were on vacation, for example. “Kind of like excuses, probably to yourself too,” he suspects. Often the patients also have a guilty conscience. But what the doctor often notices: "that others from the affected family quickly get a vaccination appointment."

There have already been patients in the clinic who deny Corona, even if there are currently much fewer.

But there were already some “who come from the corona denier corner and also went to corona denier demos again after the illness.

It's hard to understand, of course, ”quotes

nordbayern.de from

the Nuremberg doctor.

But there are more people who have probably "fooled" or postponed the vaccination.

Corona regional: The update for Bavaria

Doctor warns: "Anyone who does not get vaccinated will sooner or later get infected with Corona"

He finds the range of vaccinations sufficient “especially recently, of course”.

Everyone has the chance to get vaccinated.

“Unfortunately, strange ideas and rumors that go around on the Internet or in whispered propaganda still play a role.” In an interview with the news portal, the doctor becomes clear and warns: “Anyone who does not get vaccinated will sooner or later join in Infect corona.

This virus will never go away.

The only question is when he or she gets infected. "

If you weigh the rare side effects of a vaccination against the typical and frequent “side effects” of a corona disease, the “always clearly in favor of the vaccination”, says the doctor.

Corona burdens doctors and nurses: "Why didn't they get vaccinated?"

His own team is still very busy, even if the number of patients is currently lower than in the previous year. Frustration also seems to be increasing: “Why didn't he or she get vaccinated?” He currently hears more often in meetings. “There are people lying there who are seriously ill. And patients die too, one mustn't forget that. Our employees also bear this emotionally. It's a burden. And then there is the feeling: It's so superfluous, he just needed two vaccinations and doesn't have to be here on the ward now, but could perhaps go on vacation to the mall, ”he describes

the emotional state of his team

to

.

Doctors and nurses in Rosenheim are also frustrated by refusal to vaccinate.

A woman there barely survived her Covid infection and still said that she would still not get vaccinated.
