Don’t want to be a liar

The Panevėžys Hospital chaplain P. Andžejevski sincerely admitted that he could not lie.

“I would be a liar if I said that I am not afraid. I was scared, but I couldn’t go to the hospital. I have to visit the sick. Therefore, I behaved calmly, because my peace also calmed the sick. Also, I wanted to go see the sick, talk to them, talk, “the priest told the JP news portal.

The meeting is different

The chaplain does not hide that he is used to contact with people and communication with patients.

“Only this time the contact is different: combat. I see people’s faces and my face is covered with protective gear. And I see the patients’ eyes, their facial expressions: joy, sadness, wait. Protective measures they are necessary because I had to protect myself and the patients, “Andžejevski said after visiting the hospital.

Don’t get angry and let anxiety overwhelm you.

Do not be angry

The Panevėžys Hospital chaplain said he had heard several questions from those being treated for coronavirus.

“It just came to my attention then. I admitted I was scared, but I came. We talked about everything: the time Advent begins, that he’s waiting to be discharged from the hospital. Of course, we didn’t forget to talk about health either. The most important thing is that you are not negative. Although the disease is unknown, there is no need to be upset. The good news from the patients was that they were very happy that one would soon be discharged and the other was already coming home. You can’t be upset and let anxiety take over, ”said priest Pavel.

The medical staff is amazing

The chaplain admired the hard work and endurance of the Panevėžys Hospital staff.

“They work tirelessly, although it is very difficult. The medical staff is fantastic. Therefore, I wish everyone, the sick and the doctors, a peaceful Advent and a safe Christmas. And it doesn’t matter where Christmas is received, whether at the hospital or at home. Let’s be safe. You cannot give up, “wished the Panevėžys Hospital chaplain P. Andžejevski.

They work tirelessly, albeit very hard.

“This time everything is a little different, the hospital department is different and it helped that it was not the first time. Knowing the order, I was able to protect myself and more more. Protect the patients at the same time. And the images you see are Times are completely different: more people in the pits, many older people in difficult condition.

The experience seems similar, but completely different. It is very difficult to describe and put into words. It’s great that there was a priest together, whom the sick welcomed. He raised the nose to the sick. It is a useful and necessary visit ”, said the photographer, who assured that everything went well.
