‘We didn’t sign up for this,’ says doctor on COVID-19 front line
Dr Sacha Kepreotis, a cardiology trainee at one of Sydney's public hospitals, has urged Australians via Facebook to get vaccinated.
A Sydney doctor has made an emotional plea to Australians to get vaccinated, while giving a first-hand account that the city’s public hospitals are “filling up” with rising COVID-19 cases.
In a Facebook post that has now gone viral, Dr Sacha Kepreotis, a senior cardiology trainee, provided some ‘real world insight’ into what was happening in NSW hospitals as they face record infections.
Doctors, nurses and other staff were working under stressful conditions they “didn’t sign up for” and with the fear they would take the virus home.
“Sydney hospitals are filling up with COVID-19 positive patients who are too unwell to remain at home,” he wrote in his post.
