Doctors And Nurses On Burnout, PTSD After 2 Years of COVID
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- It has been two years since COVID-19 brought the world to its knees, but as the world begins to bounce back, healthcare workers say they are continuing to battle the effects of the pandemic, including stress, burnout and PTSD. Their mental health has only been worsened by the onslaught of violence from patients amid misinformation and disinformation. “We as providers need to understand our boundaries,” said Dina Velocci, CRNA. Inside Edition Digital’s Johanna Li has more.
Regardless of all the “thank yous” we may offer, it is not enough. Our society as a whole must act.
Exactly! I'm offering my mental health services for free and even that doesn't feel like it's enough for what they have sacrificed for strangers...
@@Swnsasy that’s a great thing you’re doing. i think they would need counseling to help repair from trauma.👏👏👏👏
@@AJ-xm4xc I meant mental health services.. I apologize for the mistake.. My cats whiskers tickled my back and I hit everything on my phone..
“Must act” WTF does that even mean
@@tbc9096 It means the problem is not being addressed.
I came close to dying from covid in January. I can't thank the doctors and nurses enough for saving my life while I was on a ventilator in the icu. Especially the nurses. During the month I was hospitalized, I have never witnessed harder working people. Today is actually my 52nd birthday and I'm so thankful that I can celebrate it but, at the same time, I am thinking of those who didn't have the same outcome as me. 🙏
Happy Birthday
I wish you a happy birthday, and im glad you were able to make it through your covid battle.
Happy birthday
Thank you everyone 💓 ☺️
Just out of pure curiosity were you fully vaccinated? All 3 available shots? Also, A very Happy and Healthy Belated Birthday to you.
This is EXACTLY why I left Augusta University Hospital in 2020. Now I work with former Veterans and I love it. The amount of stress was just too much, but I continue to pray for the brave hospital staffs around the world....not just Nurses or Doctors.
We have lived through this, the losses, the memories, the pain, the hope, the comfort,
I’m saying to each one of you! “THANK YOU THANK YOU” You have deserve nothing but the best for the hard work you have deliver to the many families were coping with this mass tragedy!
I lost my boyfriend to Covid this past Dec and I miss him everyday. He wanted me to go into this field but I could never do what they do. I am not as strong. The nurse who took care of him till his last day and attended his funeral was amazing. And every healthcare worker is a hero. A true hero
My husband died because of covid and watching him die like that has left me with ptsd, depression, anxiety, like very severe mental issues. I can’t imagine seeing that everyday
I am so so sorry for your loss 🙏
I'm so deeply sorry
I’m so very sorry for your tragic loss. I know losing someone you love is the most devastating thing there is. Sending much love, hugs, and healing vibes.
Sorry for your loss. But they didn’t just randomly start seeing people die from Covid. They’ve witnessed much, much worse than this. If they didn’t want to see this, they should’ve chosen a different profession 🤷🏼♀️ no one deserves extra praise for doing their job. Respect, sure. Raises, probably. But I’m not believing someone has ptsd from a job they’ve already been doing. Now, the new comers… it was likely a shock but just an introduction to a lifelong career choice that will continue to see death, abuse, and the most awful of awful… even after Covid is long gone.
@@suburbanearth9076 so is veterans having ptsd a surprise to you? That’s their job tho? You act like watching people die especially in various horrible ways isn’t traumatizing regardless of training. People can get ptsd and cptsd from fast food jobs. Trauma is something negative you experienced that affects your day-to-day life. As someone with c-ptsd, what you commented was ignorant. I suggest you read up on conditions you know obviously nothing about before speaking as if your a professional. Thank you.
The worst part that the video didn't mention, patients who died alone because the family wasn't allowed to visit because of covid. My grandmother's best friend died alone while her kids was arguing with hospital staff to see her. This happened in Miami at Jackson Memorial Hospital. I'm a nurse at a different hospital and my hospital allows visitation for patients who were dying, we gave that family PPE's to say their final goodbyes.
Everyone should show respect to all doctors who work day and night to help people with covid and help to create a vaccine
I dont think a single person in this video helped to create a vaccine
@@fredwalter923 they got kickbacks for helping push the vaccine
@@fredwalter923 I understand your point, but at the same time, healthcare is a team effort.
@@fredwalter923 creating the vaccines is a thing, yes, but I doubt the teams who created them went to every hospital in the world to provide them. I see your point, but like the guy above me said, Healthcare is a team effort
Don’t forget the nurses
Thankful for these people. Putting their lives on the line to save us all. God bless these people.
They aren't putting their lives on the line. Nurses like everyone else work for a paycheck.
Re
@@matthewm9261 lmao stay mad
As a nurse, I would tell you don’t thank nurses and doctors only. The team is much bigger than that. We would not be able to make without our respiratory/X-ray techs, PCAs, housekeepers and so on.
And to think people don’t believe that this is real makes me sick. This pandemic made me lose hope in humanity.
We're used to it. I can't begin to tell you how much shade I've gotten for being a healthcare provider and a minority. Oh well, you learn to live with it.
To the people that don't think you can have PTSD for this imagine almost every day seeing people,sons, daughters,husband's , wife's etc die and hear the cry's screams of the family of this people that can mess up to much inside of you,my best friend is nurse here in Costa Rican the first two years she would enter her house and cry herself to sleep because of how many people she saw losing their life's because of this pandemic
Watching people die for a living is heavy on the soul for life.
This video did a great job depicting the feeling of living through this.
It strikes a nerve, ever since it became our lives, it feels like we’re looking straight down an existential road of dread. Like all we can see is the end results.
The fact that more people have died from COVID-19 than our wars shows that people don't know the affect of COVID had on the people who took care of them before they died
We’ve never had a global war involving every country
2nd we didn’t have any immunity to covid prior Brand new virus
Now we have natural immunity as a new born baby will eventually develop to the flu
Would like to argue the flu is super deadly ?
I'm not a healthcare worker, but I'm vaccinated with a booster, and I am very satisfied with my decision to do so. It's unfortunate that so many people won't do the same.
The only thing unfortunate is the government lied. First, they said the vaccine would stop the spread and has 100% protection. False. Then, they changed the definition of vaccine. Then, they changed the definition of fully vaccinated. Then, they said they weren't going to mandate. Then, they smear ivermectin only to make their own version of it...again, money.
@@bigwon5883 Everything you said here is completely false. Nobody has every said the vaccines were 100% effective. Nobody has ever claimed vaccines would stop this virus completely. But because people won’t get vaccinated and wear masks, WAY more people died than should have. Because people have listened to false information, this pandemic is much worse than it would have been.
@@Tombstone_Active caught* and you can still get covid with the vaccine..
I did my clinicals during covid and I wasn’t vaccinated
Yet not sick
And forced to be vaccinated and still not sick
It’s unfortunate many of you don’t understand your own underlying Health conditions
Obesity Hypertension Hyperlipidemia atherosclerosis, aterialscelerosis, pad, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, enlarged heart decreased cardiac output
See the trend yet ?
Fat positive America
@Mama Poch wrong. If you want me to quote, I will. It is also a fact about the changing definitions. Literally, nothing I said was false. Go ahead...try to prove I'm wrong.
What about the nurses that were actually there? Not the doctor or CRNA that “saw” a patient for an hour or so. The nurses that were there for 12 hours
Me. I was there. As a HOSPICE nurse.
Left the field this year due to chronic depression and 4+ years of PTSD.
Thank you for your service! Sending love and peace!
im proud to see them work as hard as they did. I really hope they get some kind of support from theire workplace
Work hard? All they did was panic. Like you sheep
@@volkswagenburger8993 you sound like one of those idiots who do their vaccine "research " on duck duck go 🙄 sad to see the intellectual decay of America.
Dr. Ryan Stop spreading your miserableness to others, get a life
@@williammaywood4194 you first
@@RyanCoomer a doctor should know how to spell! Liars* 😭🤣🤣
Thank you to ALL the health care workers for ALL that you have done and continue to do. Please remember to take care of yourself physically and mentally 💯.
So devastating seeing all this. In the end we will come back stronger than ever & hopefully this pandemic can bring people closer together in ways that we don’t think about. My heart goes out to ALL healthcare workers.❤️❤️❤️
They deserve so much respect for all that they have sacrificed for others and I know I am truly grateful to them even though I was never in the hospital but I will be offering my mental health services free of charge to ANYONE in the Healthcare industry... I wish I could do more, I really do...
I feel so sad for my mom. She was transferred to the covid unit, she's a nurse. Sometimes we won't see her for a few days because of all the back to back shifts or extended hours. She's off to work tonight again. She doesn't talk about it but it must be so hard for her. She even got the virus and I got it from her. People don't listen and they're still so reckless. They don't understand the impacts of their actions. Please be careful!
May God refresh you my Comrades in the profession, and protect you while at it.
Kudos to these brave dedicated health workers 🙌🏽❤️
They should also take time to take care of their mental health too💞
God Bless these workers.
Work hard has a limit. Work smart and take care of your mental health. Thank you for everything, it's not easy keeping it together.
Just imagine going through all of this and then being placed in a war zone like the hero medical workers in Ukraine 💛💛💛💙💙💙
A lot of respect for everyone in the medical field
Not all heroes wears cape, highest respect to all of them
I cannot thank all of these heroes enough. Sadly, because of misinformation, this pandemic ended up being much worse than it could have been.
Those who have been on the front lines, and have gone above and beyond every day have been neglected.
You have my undying and utmost respect.
That count truck drivers, farmers and garbage collectors?
They have every right to be burned out, they’ve been through a lot and seen a lot. Two years flew by.
It was hard looking for a job when everything started, and when I found one, it was not easy rolling with it. It was scary, I was scared.
It felt like something out of a movie. I never felt so scared to leave my home when the lockdown started. I'm just fortunate that I, nor anyone I know, got sick. I just feel terrible for the millions of lives lost
I hope this ends soon
Thank you
Hi everyone. I hope your doing well during this 2 years. Sending love ❤
I am so sad. but i am glad they have worked hard to keep people alive
I hope they can find the time to make more of those jazzy tik tok videos that came out during the plandemic. Those were entertaining
@@slimshady3648 L kid
STAY STRONG Health Care Workers. I APPRECIATE what My healthcare Hero’s did for Me! 🤕😍
Imagine seeing people die. When you work with a pasiant for a year and than you seem they die from covid. It is sad but it happends to all.
DONT FORGET ABOUT CNA's !
The families of those that died too. But we've been left to it
I bought my nurse friend her first cross stitch kit for relaxation and a new hobby. She asked me where I bought it because she already finished hers. I bought her a bigger kit and I feel so bad for her because she is just emotionally drained. Do things you like and will relax you especially during these times.
She is emotionally drained after making 100 to 150 hr with these emergency pay rates. Sign me up.
@@nesq4104 she finished her kit faster than me. Because of the patterns, she just focuses on it and her mind gets transported elsewhere.
@@Mary-sh2bp that's a nice gift to give someone. It's important to focus the mind on something else, creative for a mental break.
@@nesq4104 absolutely! You should try it one day.
We assume just because it's there job they can handle it there only human I can only imagine how traumatic it must of been to watch this happen they deserve so much more respect and praise xxxxx
I miss this
Heaven knows how they got through this nightmare at all
Maybe because the hospitals were empty I'm guessing
@@nesq4104 You would be guessing wrong if that’s your guess.
@@toothrestorer6588 I'm guessing based on going to a few hospitals that were empty. Must be hard doing nothing at work
So you’ve gone to hospitals all over the country throughout this pandemic?
@@toothrestorer6588 just a few in orlando that the news reported as full and overwhelmed yet you go and it's empty of every type of patient. So doing nothing must be overwhelming for some
The begining of this video was just hauntingly beautiful.
We can do it! I appreciate these workers.
For the past 4 months, I've had to schedule PTO days specifically for my mental health. I openly label the request as "mental health days". As a medical technologist, I shouldn't be so stressed out because I have no patient interactions, but the lack of mechanical support from manufacturers, the supply of reagent getting smaller and smaller due to productivity decreasing and shipping issues, and lack of staffing due to retirement/quitting has me at my breaking point. I just want to do my job and do it well, but I'm flat out miserable and I feel so bad for all the patients I'm letting down in the process.
Farmers, truckers and trash collectors don't get to do that.
@@SunRise-lr7ch no they don't, hence why I respect them and all they do.
Not to be mean but at least they have access to doctors and medications that they're going to be needing!
Give them veteran beneifts
I would be too
as someone who has gotten vaccinated, boosted, and stayed home for the past 2 years at this point i don't feel sorry for the people who refuse to get vaccinated.
I can't say I'm surprised.
I had to separate my emotions from my duties when COVID got really bad on our ICU, especially when we averaged at least 1-3 deaths a day for several months. It wasn't easy and although I did not want to be a cold fish, I had to, for the survival of my own mental health.
At the end of each shift, as exhausted as I was, I had to remind myself that I had the privilege of going home, they didn't. And as for the anti-vaxxers, the misguided/delusional, and those choosing to take their misplaced anger out on us, well, let's just say I never lost any sleep over them.
We've becoming a running joke to people in this country and unfortunately, that's a paradigm that's sadly here to stay.
Again 🙏🏻😔😞
Of course!!!! Poor doctors
I resigned from my work after I had a near death experience with covid having work in a laboratory doing the covid tests and working as a laboratory scientist has been so draining I'm gonna get back to the fight after my anxiety wears off but for now I'm working at home as a medtrans
They deserve a lot of respect.
You mean they actually had to work and don't like it anymore. Every time I have been to the hospital all I see is nurses on their phones.
When was the last time you were at a hospital??
No they aren’t
More like burnt out from 2 years of TikTok dancing
What About CNA and HHA in Senior Living Homes as well.
I ❤️ my nurses they were nice to me im spanish speaker but they would kindness n greatfful
The house keepers in the hospital
I think this is a traumatizing job regardless, sad it took an epidemic for the world to see what heroes truly look like, not performers.
It’s the petty comments of oh you a nurse you must make a lot of money. I’m a nurse and I live paycheck to paycheck because of debt
Nice
I feel bad for the doctor and nurses not much for half the patients tho
😢
I can't have the shot cause I had a bad reaction to a flu shot
i just tested positive for covid for the second time yesterday its mental how badly it affects and kills others whereas im fine just watching youtube all day now
A honest mistake probably a hard working woman please don’t give her 110years too
This whole thing just showed how the health care system is broken. The only thing that enjoyed this is big corporations that make them money.
Maybe people should start actually wearing masks?
We have all come so far in 2 year and this feels like it happened yesterday
Wow
Everything is this country is just falling apart
Maybe shouldn't have made employment decisions based on shot status.
Bout time they earn their money. Health care workers and hospitals have always over charged people for services.
Everyone, please thank all nurses 🙏 when you meet them, for saving society and protecting society.
No...some weigh 500 pounds , smoke or applauded BLM rioters then made Tic Tok videos.
Thank Yous don't help them relax.
Hope my ex likes her job ahahahahaha I bet she's miserable
I feel like I’ve forgot about Covid since there’s so much other things happening like Ukraine and more idk
Thats because overall media has a new demon
NOPE! One of my female friends got vaccinated about a year ago. She's still suffering from a serious side effect of it. Another one of my friends got vaccinated, then she ended up with COVID.
I'm vaccine-free and COVID-free.
Good for you. 😳
One of my friends had his seatbelt on in a car accident and had serious injuries. I don’t wear my seatbelt and haven’t had any injuries or car accidents. Therefore, it must be better to not wear a seatbelt. See how silly you sound?
@D C My point is at the 2:47 timestamp of the video. Therefore, my answer is "NOPE"!
@@youngswoll3 I’ve never had a house fire. I don’t need smoke detectors. 🤣
@@absatwell8163 I've seen evidence of a seat belt being unfastened. I've seen evidence of a smoke detector being detached. But I've never seen evidence of a vaccine being removed from the bloodstream of a human body. Will you please show everyone evidence of a vaccine being removed from the bloodstream of a human body? You know? Especially since this video is encouraging people to receive a specific vaccine and has no mention of a seat belt nor smoke detector.
I respect these doctors and nurses for working hard during the pandemic, but feel very bad for them at the same time. I never wanted to get into that field no matter how much it paid because of the contagiousness of diseases and death, and that was well before covid started plaguing the U.S
We live with it in the outside world and we challenge from it ,everyday 😤😲imagine those guys life ..crazy
My son tested positive today , it’s bizarre how it effects everyone so different. Some mild some die , makes no sense .
I thought it was gone
Take care of yourselves!
💥💥💥🙏🌟💜😔
I’m on burnout as well. I’ve stopped wearing a mask in shops. I’m double vaxxed, will get my booster. Here in the UK, covid has gone down overall (albeit still very much here, of course). I still use hand sanitiser where I can.
Doctors nurses all first responders
Covid shmovid I was never scared !!! I'm strong I eat healthy no virus scared me ! I ate broccoli !
😆😆😆delusion of grandiosity at peaks
the devil IS A LIAR .. REPENT .. JESUS IS COMING.
Been waiting for over 2,000 years. I’m getting bored.
Chronicles 7:14.
damn
Nurses be tilted
may God bring glory to Healthcare workers from 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
The opening kinda sounds like Minecraft
Yet snowflakes want to end mandates because they don’t care anymore.
Why would you put Trump voice-_-‘
Because he was the president when the pandemic began
