An NHS doctor in London says he would like to invite COVID conspiracy theorists to hospitals to see the situation for themselves
Speaking to Sky News, Dr. Umeer Waheed says the task of treating COVID-19 patients is “relentless.”
“The sad thing is that it has now become almost normal for us,” says Dr Waheed, an ICU consultant at Hammersmith Hospital in West London.
He adds that 12 and 15 hours are common.
Dr. Waheed continues: “We go home and are exhausted at night. I am struggling to sleep, many of my colleagues are struggling to sleep because we are thinking about the day and the next day.
“We don’t even know when it will end and how it will end and if there will be another increase. We don’t know.
“We just have to deal with what we have now because we have a job to do.”
When asked if he is angry at people who don’t follow the rules, Dr. Waheed says he is not angry, but rather “frustrated.”
He continues: “I read a lot on social media about conspiracy theories, how the hospitals are empty. I would love to invite those people to these hospitals and show them exactly what is going on through those doors.
“You read about empty hospitals, empty wards, the ICU is not really that busy, but I will tell people right now: there is a war zone there.
“We are facing a war. It is the second round and I do not know if it will return.”
