A London doctor has revealed growing pressure on medical staff treating a growing number of Cove 19 patients, warning that some services are now struggling to cope.
The registrar said that "physically exhausting" shifts work long hours without a break. Dr. Toby said the situation had worsened since Christmas, as hospitals had to deal with a growing number of sick people.
"Every night was harder than last. Every night it seemed like More patients are coming to the emergency department, more patients are getting sick in the wards, the ITU is filling up. "
His comments came at a time when a major care network in London was reportedly warning It was "complete and supportive" in dealing with severe nursing shortages and limited oxygen supply.
The network covers 17 hospitals in the capital and Essex and had 235 patients in 236 beds, 160 of whom were ill with covid.19. Doctors at Queen's Hospital in Romford are said to have approved lower oxygen targets for patients to reduce the pressure on supplies. Doctors insisted it was safe, but acknowledged it was unusual.
