When the smile turned to shock: The doctor's face in News 12 told the story of the Corona's horror
In News 12's austerity program, a doctor in the corona ward presented what appeared to be a decade old - in one shift.
In the main edition, a hospital director was caught having to stop treating patients, and his voice broke down in tears.
that's how it is.
It's just a pity these articles don't go viral like Orly and Guy's "movie

Welcome to the house of God.

"I'm tired. Death looks a lot less horrible when we're tired," declares Simone de Beauvoir's character in the 1954 masterpiece The Mandarins.
It can be said with a great deal of confidence that the French philosopher has not visited one of the corona wards of hospitals in Israel recently or at all.
She might have spoken differently if she had visited there, among the protected staff and the coughing patients.
Fatigue is an integral part of these wards, even in routine, but it does not make death any less terrible.
vice versa.
In the past year we have gained quite a few behind-the-scenes peeks of the corona departments in the new editions.
It has already become a banal part of the corona routine like interviews with Israelis who went on vacation during quarantine on some tropical island and are now demanding that the state come to rescue them.
The feeling is that the third closure has brought with it an extreme in both genres, which seem to exist in separate universes.
Rafi Reshef kept his sphinx down yesterday when he interviewed Maureen, a nice lawyer who went on vacation in Central America, and somehow managed to remain optimistic despite the bad news that her husband will probably have to stay another month with their three young children.
"The place here is amazing in terms of surfing, and gives a sense of freedom," she somehow managed to keep a smile in front of the intrigued Reshef, adding that she must say there are hardly any tourists in the area.
Shocking.
In the main edition of News 13 Shahar Peled brought the story of Sharon and Daniel, a young couple who went out to freshen up in red Dubai, and now the two do not know how or when they will reunite with the 5-month-old baby they left in the country.

While there are those who have exercised their basic right to a tummy tuck, News 12 decided to remind us again why we are in quarantine at all.
It started with a short but effective article in "Savings Plan" by Yolan Cohen, the rising star of the company during the crisis.
Cohen sent three interns to the corona wards to bring in guerrilla photographs from the closed ward, literally.
The connection between the ongoing Israeli farce of 26-hour inhuman shifts that meet the logistical constraints and protections of the corona wards makes the sacred work of the medical teams simply chilling to watch.
When we talk about the fear that hospitals will collapse, the intention is not only that it will not be possible to receive patients (reports of ambulances having to wait hours for admission to the emergency room have already begun to be heard in recent days), -Pita in a toaster, not to mention save human lives.
Dr. Uri Rosen from Wolfson Hospital took the opportunity to mourn the tragedy of public medicine in Israel. Dr. Ray Bitton from Assuta in Ashdod told about a whole shift without a break, certainly not for a nap.
But most of all you could see the whole story of the third closure on the face of Dr. Naftali Gross, who specializes in internal medicine at Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem. At the beginning of the article he entered the shift with a smile and optimism, by the middle of the article he already looked like he was a decade old. He took a short break to tell with shining eyes that he had helped the patient make the last phone call of his life.At the end of the article, just before getting off duty, he had already said that he had "wrapped" (to declare death, in Gabi Barbash) five people in another night. His face looked like an odyssey coming out of Hades' abode. His eyes said he saw the kingdom of hell. This is what a man who experienced intense inferno looked like. Darkness hovers over transparent
humans.The corona seems to illustrate Stalin's famous quote that the death of an individual is a tragedy while the death of many is a statistic.Except for a few exceptions like Yehuda Barkan or the Golden Silk Family, the story of when the corona tells us every evening As of this writing, 4,493 Israelis
Have given their lives on the altar of the virus, how many of their stories do you know?
We seem to have heard far more stories about Israelis getting stuck on a ski vacation in the Dolomites or a hair transplant in Istanbul than about the real victims of the crisis.

In the main edition of News 12, Yossi Mizrahi was sent to the corona ward at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.
Mizrahi returned with some sinks of patients of the type we have already seen, but this time added amazing photos of the hospital's director, Prof. Zeev Rothstein, on the verge of tears as he faced the economic cost of the plague in his institution.
It is noteworthy that even before the corona the economic conduct at Hadassah was notorious, but this time it seems that the lack of funding is about to cost human lives.
It's quite amazing to see an institution director who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his "commitment to equal medical care for all" faced with a decision on what medical treatments he should cut to keep the hospital afloat.
In a zoom call, the department heads explain to him that it is not possible to continue providing CT and X-ray services for financial reasons.
He asks not to stop the bone marrow transplants, because it will cause the death of children and it is something he can not afford.
The principals remind him that there are more cases of life and death, and his voice breaks as he tries to stifle the tears.
If it was a camera show, it worked.
It can be assumed that in Israel, as in Israel, the budget item for financing the shortcomings in the hospital will suddenly be found, and yet, it is inconceivable that even in the midst of the great health crisis we know, hospital administrators have to fight to obtain basic medical equipment for operating rooms and intensive care units. .
True, Orly and Guy, you are right, once again the media exaggerates with the presentation of the facts.
The nurse who tells of the despair evident in the eyes of the patients is just exaggerating.
The doctor who tells that he feels he is fighting every shift in the angel of death is just dramatic.
And in general, political quarantine.
Bibi is corrupt.
Vaccines are effective.
Huge Bibi.
The plague will pass.
Life will return to normal.
Everything is true.
But then we will also return to ignoring the bleeding wound of public medicine in Israel.
The place where your life and that of your loved ones depends on the relationships you have or do not have.
Politicians will return to dealing with rocky lands in Judea and Samaria, Madon people will continue to invent racist theories under the guise of journalism, and the public will return to dealing with the latest scandal of Static and Ben Zini's ex.
And again, we will return to ignoring the only place where we have no differences, neither religion, nor race, nor gender.
The true house of God that separates the sick from the healthy.
The kingdom that separates the living from the dead.
The corona could have been the opportunity to change priorities.
Instead, she perpetuated the general indifference towards "the others."
Poor, elderly and just plain unlucky people who found themselves on the wrong side of the statistics are not victims of the corona in the eyes of many sections of the public, they are simply a separate entity from us.
You can see it on social media.
You can hear it from some media people.
You can scroll down to the comments to this article and see them here.
Even after nearly 4,500 deaths, it feels almost unpatriotic to succumb to this disease.
Now that we’ve all managed to get around the queue on the way to the vaccine, one has to be a real loser to get infected, not to mention die from the virus.
Two million have already been vaccinated, and you have not?
So what if you're not in the target group, you'll be pushed in line.
The nice old woman upstairs will wait patiently for someone to remember that she exists.
Well, she survived the Holocaust, what does she have to fear from Corona?
Do not come out a sucker.
to you.
Despite the well-known proverb, this time suckers do die.
But why depression now?
Rafi is right.
Probably.
Let's once again put the pictures of the one stuck in Panama.
Better in a bikini.
Still need to bring ratings to this news sequence.
The suffering really goes through the pictures.

Thanks Rafi.
Indeed harsh pictures.
On to the next item: So which is cheaper this year, to buy dried fruit in a box or in bulk?
Come on, let's send the people of Israel to collect dried food products from open containers that stand in the middle of the supermarket during a global epidemic.
Great idea in the world.
The question is whether it is really cheaper.
Everything has to have a price tag, and none of us want to come out a sucker.
