A London doctor at the frontline of the coronavirus outbreak has told ITV News of the “scenes of unimaginative sadness” and spoke of the “sickening panic” she and her colleagues feel about what is to come.
Dr Katie Sanderson said the situation was “really, really horrible” as she described the challenge, in the face of so much death, of not treating every patient as “a number”.
Dr Sanderson said she was speaking out because she wanted the country to be prepared for what London was already facing.
“There are scenes of unimaginative sadness and I speak for myself and my colleagues in other London hospitals, patients are just dying who have staff members who are relatives who go straight back to work. It’s really, really, really terrible,” she said.
