Episode 23: The human cost of COVID's Religious dogma, one patient at a time
Manage episode 402598501 series 3295539
The statistics bounce around about COVID even as the virus wanes and becomes just another recurrent cold. But the religious fanaticism of the COVID faithful, the rituals, the restrictions, those have not disappeared. In my world of geriatrics and long term care, my patients are still being made to suffer and even killed by those doctors and policy makers who insist that the COVID religion must not be challenged. Here is a story of one such patient, I call her Mrs. X, who made me cry one morning during my rounds because amidst the religious zealotry of COVID and our medical system I stood helpless as her life drifted away.
