Anaesthetist attends ‘code blue’ while waiting for own cardiac scan
Dr Suzi Nou, who has been ill with COVID-19-related cardiac issues, describes how she couldn't help but assist in another patient's emergency care
Anaesthetist Dr Suzi Nou was trying to be a good patient, waiting her turn for a CT scan while being treated for cardiac issues related to COVID-19.
But when the patient in front of her had an allergic reaction, the doctor in her took over.
“I could tell something was going on and debated whether to assist or not. I was trying to be a good patient,” Dr Nou, who is based on Melbourne, shared on Twitter.
“When I heard the words ‘code blue’ I knew I should do something. I walk in, with my ECG still attached and introduce myself as ‘the next patient but also an anaesthetist’.
