All the beds are occupied, and next to them are doctors in full protective clothing.
“Recently, there are a lot of young patients in the intensive care unit in critical condition who need mechanical ventilation. The intensive care units are working in a busy mode, ”Valeriy Vechorko is quoted as saying by the Operations Staff.
“Now we see in intensive care not only 40-year-olds, but also 30-year-olds! I ask everyone to take seriously the infection that has taken over the city, ”the doctor said on his Facebook.
According to Valery Vechorko, there are more and more patients in serious condition at the age of about forty every day. “There is only one way to avoid this situation: you are in self-isolation mode, and in case of any symptoms, immediately consult a doctor. Stop unnecessary contacts. Then it will be possible to avoid both a serious condition and getting into intensive care. Then you will save your life and the life of your loved ones, ”concluded the doctor.
