“Fear begins the moment you see the first patient, you see what is happening in the world and it is clear to you that this cannot escape you and it will happen to you. In Paris hospitals, people did not have masks. In the emergency department, they worked in simple surgical masks, making them sick. And even colleagues dressed in big plastic garbage bags. They just tore them apart and we did what we could to be well equipped.
This was stated in an interview with BTV by the internal medicine specialist Dr. Elena Radeva, who together with her husband Dr. Konstantin Nikolov, who is an orthopedist and traumatologist, have been working for 10 years in the department of Oise, in northern France. .
“It was a period that I will never forget in my life, because it was a period of extreme solidarity. A physically and mentally difficult period,” said Dr. Elena Radeva.
“COVID-19 is unpredictable. This means that at some point it gets rid of the infection, it can be mild. For example, you spend seven days, after which you can have second-hand symptoms,” adds Dr. Radeva.
It currently cares for about 20 patients. It says that young people who have had the coronavirus are increasingly experiencing consequences such as depression, panic attacks and fatigue.
“What is more interesting in this case are the late consequences of the severe and moderate forms. Imagine that your two lungs are wrapped in a network and something stops you. In the late forms of COVID-19, this network just remains and even it gets thicker, “explained Dr. Radeva.
Through his posts on social media, he harshly criticized opponents of the use of masks and non-compliance with anti-epidemic measures, including doctors.
“It is very important when a person speaks, thinks and acts mostly, and not only in social networks, on which side of the barrier they will be, on the side of reason or on the side of fanaticism,” he said.
“I cannot imagine how I would feel if I infected a patient or family, or a relative or colleague for the simple reason that I am COVID positive and do not wear masks,” said Dr. Nikolov.
That is why they both strongly support the Bulgarian Medical Union’s call to all doctors for moderate statements in the media on behavior in the COVID epidemic.
“Colleagues who lost their lives were called sadists because they asked a patient to wear a mask. This behavior is more than offensive, “added Dr. Konstantin Nikolov.
