Hey guys! This is Nic from the interview. Thank you, Mark for having me on.
Thank you guys for all your support and comments! I will be posting medical related content over on my channel if you'd like to check it out 😊
Your interview hit pretty hard with me. I have a friend who traveled during Covid also. She, like you, never really dealt with it until a few months ago. It messed with her mentally and she had to take some time off. Under the circumstances, you all did all that you could. Thank you and everyone else for your efforts. Hopefully this interview helped you release some of what you were holding in.
@@michaelhaile6371 Thank you so much man. I really appreciate it. Wishing you and your friend the absolute best
Thank you for your honesty and your service 🙏🏻
@@nic_6 Wishing you the best too. I will check out your channel also.
Make sure you post warning labels beside the jab. Thx 👍🏽
I’m an ICU nurse. We could not have survived it without the amazing & hard working RT’s who were right beside us. Thank you!! RT’s do not get the appreciation they deserve from the general public. I remember one night working in a large busy hospital during Covid (500 beds). There were dozens of ventilated Covid patients and all nurses were tripled and there were only 2 RT’s in the entire hospital on shift. It was a nightmare of a shift. Thank you for filming this video.
Thank you! I love my nurses!
Thank you! Best job I ever had was being a Respiratory Therapist!
Thank you for the recognition. RT’s seldom get it but we sure couldn’t do it without our nurses🥰.
Yeah, whatever...few believe the fake, stupid, false "hero", tiktok dancing narrative anymore. You all got your free stuff and big paychecks. Meanwhile, too many have family and friends who were intentionally, or maybe best case scenario...brand new, inexperienced staff...killed patients by using all the WRONG drugs and deadly protocols. No respect for damage you participated in to destroy people far and wide.
Solid reasons why white coats rarely allowed family in to see victims...until final moments...because of what evil was done behind closed doors. There needs to be Day or Reckoning for those who participated in killing so many innocent people...guess there's always karma and Day of Judgement lurking out there.
From a family of nurses and worked in hospitals for years. I am angered by the incompetence in the White House when I look back at that time. The pandemic nnever should’ve happened! We lost precious hours and days (with the public denial of reality by potus) and supply chains were broken too. Health care professionals like yourself worked soop hard. I have knowledge of at least 2 doctors who have quit practicing and another that suicided due to the trauma caused by covid. PTSD is real!! Thank you for sharing and God bless you ♥️
RN here and worked at one of the busiest hospitals in NJ. Covid was like a bad dream no one could wake up from. I saw so many people around me quitting or not coming to work and that thought never crossed my mind. I will never forget the first time I put on all my PPE and walked into a room with someone that had covid, I closed the door behind me and saw my breath through my glasses and I was like “well, if I get covid I will deal with it but for now this patient needs my help.” I did 16 hr shifts and the one thing a lot of people don’t talk about is the look on a person’s face that is isolated in their room struggling to breathe and knowing that the only people they have to comfort them was us..not their family or close friends but complete strangers. No one will understand what is healthcare workers felt every day while working during covid. It didn’t matter if you were a nurse, and environmental worker, nursing assistant or MD, we all worked together.
God bless you for your courage and dedication.
Many of the hospitalists I worked with refused to go into covid pts rooms. They called the patients on the phone or asked a nurse to assess the patient.
Many hospitals were totally empty. Most countries had no excess deaths at all until the cure.
❤❤❤ Sorry with what you where faced, to comfort someone’s loved ones is a very personal special thing, I can’t even image how hard it must’ve been , I admire this man opening up the conversation.Wishing you the best 🙏🥰🫶🏻Fifi
Thank you, for your service 😊
I was sent home from the ER with COVID related breathing issues....there was no room. I used a CPAP day and night for several weeks. It was a strange time. My respects for all of the medical personnel who were warriors during this time, and who continue to be during the pandemic.
Writing to you from Italy. We were hit first and SO hard, and we lost thousands. Oh, the pain of saying goodbye forever via video call. A nurse holding the phone while we said our farewells...shaking my head...such sorrow...and such gratitude to those nurses. There are no words, except thank you to ALL who work in the medical field, and to those who were called out of retirement to join forces. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Many are alive thanks to all of you ♥
👏👏👏👏
yeah we saw the video from the ICU. It was so good the media here used it for their NY ICU coverage.
🙏@@markangelorgs.2773
Sending you love, I remember seeing on the news how hard it was in Italy and how many people died there and the rate of infection was so high. So glad you are here to tell your story.
It was watching Italy from here in New Zealand that made me alert to it coming… I prepared and told family and friends to (who didn’t believe me at first). When it finally got here, I was totally set up! I work from home anyway but had all the supplies I needed for a long time as I have chronic health issues and could not afford to get Covid. I pretty much stayed in my house for2 years. I still haven’t had Covid. I felt so bad for Italy, USA and UK who were hit so hard.
My dad was in the hospital for 3 weeks with covid almost lost him. Forever thankful for every nurse that dealt with covid.
And Respiratory Therapist
That's amazing for you the doctor had the nurse euthanize my mom like a dog. 😢
was he vaccinated?
What a joke. Most white coat centers didn't allow family in to see any patients maybe until last moments of life, and all the damage was done. If you were not with your dad all day long, every day, and carefully monitoring his treatment, you really do not know what happened to him. How long has he, or will he, survive after that corrupt mess? Guess time will tell. Most of these situations were not good or right in any way, and nothing to "thank" perpetrators for his mistreatment literarily behind closed doors.
@@today7518 Where's your evidence this man was mistreated? Sounds like you're making up assumptions.
So, being a person that's been to war, the battles you fought are extremely similar. PTSD is not a buzzword for what you and your compatriots are going through. People get PTSD from a whole slew of reasons. Most likely you've suffered an OSI which can lead to PTSD. You talking to us, and Mark giving you a platform to speak about your struggle, will hopefully open a few eyes. Great interview Nic, there's a ton of people that appreciate what you and what your peers went through. Sometimes you gotta know when to throw in the towel, and you gave everything you had. Stay strong brother.
Combat Vet, rated for PTSD...who later became a nurse and Traveled through Covid. My combat experience was FAR FAR FAR more stressful than anything covid related...in fact, my combat experience prepared me for what I saw during covid.
Thank you so much 🙏
@@everydaydadfixinit4803 My dad was a combat medic. Thank you for your service.
Retired RT here. I sincerely feel your pain. I worked in San Francisco I beginning of the AIDS epidemic. There were no drugs or protocol then. I would often leave work in tears and many times hit the bar at 7am. I left SF and did anything but Respiratory Therapy ( waitress, whatever for a year before I was able to return to my profession. I am glad to see you talking about this.
Take a break if you can. Hang in there.
Thank you for your service. It's not the same, but it's the only comparison we can think of. The worst part of this Pandemic for me is that so much of public thinks they know better and that WE killed the patients by, putting them on vents, giving them vaccines or Remdesiver, not giving the Ivermectin, that the media exagerrated the deaths, a whole bunch of idiocy. I can't imagine if people started blaming the veterans for deaths, or claimed THEY knew more about combat than the trained vet because they watched some UA-cam videos. It is really upsetting. I was hoping Mark would interview someone like this, but all it does is stir up all the clowns who STILL think they know better than trained professionals and claim we are mindless robots following orders who killed patients. Completely disgusting.
He touches briefly on isolation… I would agree… Isolation was the hardest part of working in healthcare during the pandemic. My friends and family did not want to be around me as a Covid nurse. They knew I was directly exposed on a daily basis and it would risk exposing them.
Another element of isolation… Was the isolation my patients faced. I’ll never forget I had a husband and wife both in their 80s actively dying in rooms next to each other from Covid. We were not allowed to take them into the hallway to put them into the same room so that they may die together Because it could “potentially risk exposing other people” which was a total joke back then because we moved patients in the hallways all the time to get them to their rooms.
The ethics and morals we had to face and question on a daily basis back then was difficult to handle.
Yeah.. I had to visit my grandma through her nursing home window before she was killed with an involuntary vaccine.
@@ColdCreekB Sorry for your loss. ❤️ Yes, we treated people worse than animals. Those not even caring for patients were making the decisions and it was totally unethical.
@@ColdCreekB
I'm Soooo very sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to you and yours💔🙏
Waited to get 1st vaccine shot & almost killed me (recurring angioedema in hospital 7x's) since then can't have any vaccines..not even flu.
I totally understand how that happened to your grandma. Breaks my heart. I'm Soooo sorry hon.
That must have been so enraging seeing through the lies, but not being able to do anything about it.
My mom was dying in the hospital in Poland . I live abroad, my auntie was sneaking me through the hospital kitchen dressed as nurse . Thanks to her I managed to say goodbye to my mom 😢
Fellow RT here, can confirm that the Vid wrecked a LOT of us. As healthcare workers, we danced with the reaper often beforehand, but that was different; no matter how we chose to move, it was always the wrong step. Watching people pass on, alone and often violently, multiple times a shift, for weeks on end, flattened us. Be kind to the folks you know that were in the maw of it all.
Phew. This comment really hopefully will reach some of the ones "laughing" about covid being "not real.....🤦🏻♂️". Bless you. Love ya! 🫂♥️♥️

@@LittleGidget1 I'm aware
Thank you for all you did and continue to do! May God bless you and protect you.
I'm a Respiratory Therapist in Florida. I feel your pain. I worked in the ICU treating cancer patients when covid hit. It took a huge toll on me watching so much death, I ended up leaving. Now I have severe anxiety and get panic attacks regularly. I never thought I would be in this position in my life. I always figured I would be the caretaker, now I'm the patient. I'm on so many meds that just keep me "sane" now. I don't know when I will feel better or normal ever again. I wish you the best, know that you are not alone.
its called vax side effects
Thinking and praying for you!!
Prayers for complete healing and deliverance that on Jesus Christ can provide 🙏
You will feel better when you get off all the meds. The pharmaceutical companies are ones behind so much evil. Jesus loves you and will help you. Lord I pray for help for her to get off all the meds and rebuke anxiety and stress, I bind the spirit of any kind of guilt, I ask you lord to show her how to walk through this in Jesus name. I’m so so sorry.
Blessings to you❤️
There's a lot of us who weren't affected by illness, but we still really felt terrible for and appreciated all of the healthcare workers during the crisis. Please know we're out here in depths of gratitude and awe. You don't hear abt us, but we are out here and grateful beyond expression for your service.
Well said!!!
Hardest part for me was three no visitors policies. As people were dying, we held patients hands and tried to comfort them. many families figured out from outside which room was their loved ones, so they would be outside screaming and pounding on the glass while they were passing. I'll never unhear those screams
I think Covid was specifically designed to take out specific people.
I know nobody who died of Covid or got sick. I know lots of people. People seem to self segregate and socialize only with those like themselves. I fall into a group of humans that covid could not touch.
prove it. bring them some coffee and donuts.
Yeah, because it was completely horrible and wrong to keep patients alone and rolling out criminal protocols on innocent people of all ages. Too many "just following their orders" in this world. Karma is a "b".@@quillingquiller
Almost lost my sister to covid in December 2020. Huge shout out to all these hard working heroes. Y’all did your best and still are.
Two years ago, I was in the hospital with Cvd. They told my wife to prepare for the worst. I have never seen such courage as the health care providers who attended me. I will forever thank God for them. To this day, my lungs still are affected. It will have lifelong implications for me. So glad I survived.
Glad you made it!
@@markangelorgs.2773 Vaccination should prevent death and serious symptoms; doesn't mean you won't contract it. I was 4 times vaxxed and contracted it. Thank goodness for medical technology. My case was mild because of the vax.
@@markangelorgs.2773lies. I got the vaccine and still got COVID. The "vaccine" made me as ill as COVID.
@@markangelorgs.2773I was fully vaccinated and caught Covid twice 🤷🏻♀️ Vaccinations don’t stop you contracting the virus
Very happy to know you're back home living your life
The first time i met a respiratory therapist was when they were working on a friend's baby for over an hour, helping them manually breathe because the machines wouldn't sync with her correctly. I have always had a special place in my heart for them since then. Thank you for your time and care, Nic.
I love Mark.... and this is no knock to him...
However ..I feel like this guy had SO much to say, but we didn't get to hear 99% of it. He needed it to be brought out a bit. He was giving openings but they were not really picked up on.
I hope Mark brings him back so we can see the real interview he so desperately wanted to give- and we ALL need to hear.
I say this as a person who lost my best friend to Covid. My dad. He came to live with me on Hospice while i cared for him the last 6 months of his life. I have ptsd from that and cannot even fathom what Nic went through. I was on the other side though. Please know the nurses and aides who helped me and my dad will never be forgotten.
I think it's obvious Nic was struggling to talk about it. It was almost like a beginner therapy session. Maybe he will come back after some real therapy. I think Mark did well by asking some questions
PTSD? Or deep grief? There is a difference?
@@Geoplanetjaneprobably both
Great job w the interview Nic...bravo! As a hospital employee myself, there are no perfect words to explain the holocaust from the Frontline position.
@@Geoplanetjane glad this is all you took from my comment lol ❤
Thanks to Nic and all the workers who helped with this crisis. It truly was a very bad time.
13 year Hospice aide here who worked through Covid in NJ It was brutal. Personally saw dozens of deaths. I did my job well, in full PPE, trying to keep them comfortable, advocating for pain meds, helping families who couldn’t be there to see/talk with their loved ones. Concerned thruout that i would pass it on to my own family. I give much respect to the doctors, nurses and professionals like this man. But please remember that AIDES are the ones who interact and take care of your loved ones the most. It can be a hard job both physically and emotionally, with low pay. ❤ to all the aides out there.
Excellent so you're a health care provider so why didn't you try to have ivermectin prescribed or hydroxychloroquine /azithromycin cocktail instead of pain meds? Did you forget hospitals were financially incentivised for death certificates and ventilation procedures?
Thank you! I am an STNA and you are 100% right! The aides are in the rooms, interacting with the patients constantly. I know I have PTSD from covid. I remember each person we lost....it was traumatizing for everyone! Our floor, a med-surg floor in a small rural hospital, ended up taking care of ICU level patients because, at times, the other hospitals were not accepting any patients. It was really an awful situation & was made worse by people who thought it wasn't real- or like the flu. They would argue w us when they were dx'd w covid- as if it was somehow our fault they got it. I say the best of people & the worst. It was such a crazy, awful time.
@flaman1967 Thank you !!! I will say not all health care workers knew but I hear you loud and clear❤
@@flaman1967 You're barking at the wrong person. A hospice aide helps with the PERSONAL care and NOT the medical care of a patient. They perform care & comfort tasks like bathing, changing bed linens, helping patient go to bathroom. dressing, brushing teeth, washing & combing hair, etc.
They have nothing at all to do with prescribing medications.
Also, the medicines you mentioned are not pain med substitutes and would never be prescribed as an alternative for pain meds.
now that you know isolation was pointless have you question your ability to think
I lost my cousin to cardiac arrest after Covid in January 2023. It was heart wrenching knowing so many people felt like it was “over” and we were “out of the woods”. It was his 2nd bout of covid, and it killed him. I can still hear my dad saying “he’s brain dead”. I can still see him in the icu on the ventilator. I will see it until I’m dead.
Great job Nic- nurse for 30 something years- saw all the horrors of AIDS - now this- yes education is key- God bless you!
the maker of AIDS is the same as the maker of covid.
I commend you for what you did to help so many. I lost an uncle and two of his sons from Covid. One cousin died on August 3, 2020, my uncle August 5, 2020 and the other cousin August 21, 2020. Another of my uncles daughters had it and survived but was in rehab hospital for weeks. Many thanks to you and others that worked to save people.
I have an incredible amount of empathy and appreciation for RT's and other critical care healthcare folks, none of them could ever prepare for that work with covid. Thank you Nic for sharing your story with us, I can see and feel your struggle. PTSD is real and I understand why so many people left the healthcare industry. My partner works in education at a teaching hospital and I remember when they were first going through the protocols via video on how to intubate someone with PPS on before there was a vaccine for it and when we still didn't fully understand how it was transmitted. Once covid hit EVERYONE at the hospitals had to learn that procedure and we were both terrified with how many people would all have to be in the room and share that space with a covid positive patient. No one could have been prepared for this and no one had a better answer than others on how to address it and take care of people. Nic, you have done your best with what you had and I am sure that maybe of your patients who survived infection are SO SO grateful for your care. Sending you lots of love Nic!
Sending it right back! Thank you. Everything you said means a lot 🙏
So many people left "healthcare" because they were honest and saw all the evil and corruption. Only nurses left at local hospital are recent graduates who really don't understand anything, and just follow orders because it's all they know how to do. ALL the experienced nurses are gone.
Nic, I appreciate you coming to talk about this. There is so much more to be said around this subject so I hope this video inspires more people to speak out. ❤️
There IS a lot more to be said. But nobody is saying it. Nobody should have died from covid. Nobody should have been put on ventilators. Nobody should have been given remdesivir (aka rundeathisnear). The hospital protocol killed people. Effective preventative measures AND effective treatments were actively suppressed. We were lied to and coerced. People like this guy made a TON of money during the pandemic and now he's milking it for all it's worth.
Absolutely. I hope so as well
@@Cookiecrusters still working on it 🤷🏼♂️ thanks for the feedback!
@@nic_6 my sister had some of the same experiences during Covid (we are from the same area as you) so this really helped me to realize I should encourage her to talk about it as well.
I took early retirement as a nurse during covid. The treatment protocols that were dictated defied everything I was ever taught in my 40 yrs in the medical field. In addition, I was concerned about the limited testing of the "cure" and refused to take it. Glad I listened to my intuition. Best thing I ever did.
I'm not aware of any 'cure' that was offered. I'm guessing you're talking about the vaccine which never claimed that it would stop people getting covid but reduce severity and cases?
Good for you! A true patriot who said 'NO' to the jab!
Proud of you. Good on you.
Refusing the quackccine was the right thing for me even though I lost my job and house.
You are the nurse we want to hear be interviewed instead of this word salad beat around the real issues guy here.
My husband died from Covid at the end of 2021. He was 55.
I held a lot of anger at the hospital for the sheer chaos of it all even tho I knew it wasn’t their fault. It was too much for all of us and I don’t think people who weren’t in the trenches realize how many of their fellow citizens are walking around with PTSD.
Thank you, Nic, for sharing your story and for giving it your all in an impossible situation 💜.
I'm sorry.
he should have been vaccinated by then
@@markangelorgs.2773 he was
@@markangelorgs.2773please remove your disrespectful comment
I lost my dad to Covid in 2021, and I still wrestle with anger and distrust toward anything to do with the hospital. His care (or complete lack thereof) was such a mess, and he suffered and ultimately died because of it. But, I do realize that healthcare workers were mostly doing their best. It's hard to reconcile the two truths.
Thank you Nic for your service and caring attitude. The world is a better place because of people like you🥰. Thank you Mark for another great interview.
My Father died as the one size fits all COVID protocol that was put in place. That protocol murdered my father!!!!!
Very sorry for your loss. So many were murdered by the death protocol while the hospitals raked in $$$. Your Dad should still be here. None of this should have happened. :(
Sorry for your loss
You went above and beyond !! You did everything you could. Like you said "it's nature doing it's thing""something we don't have control over". People who were in your care, whether they lived or died, they were blessed to be cared for by you. I hope you take some good time off, in a happy, natural place. I hope you cry it out to a place of healing.
From the beginning, there were treatment options available that were not allowed. Crimes. Against. Humanity.
That’s crap
Yes. Treatment and prevention. Instead they offered up more poison and coerced people into accepting it. The hospital protocol was designed to kill.
@@DCPsucks You're crap
Right on jenniferbaker1561
Tell it!
I was 14 weeks pregnant when I got the Delta strain of COVID in August 2021. I was intubated and proned. My fiancé and daughter (5) came to the hospital to say goodbye to me. My fiancé is also a respiratory therapist and was traveling to help the Covid relief. It was a special kind of brutal torture for him because he knew exactly what was going to happen. I had hours to live. Until an Army hospital took my in ( which they never take in civilians ) and I got life saving ECMO. I delivered my son in February 2022, he is healthy and a happy baby boy. I walked away from this experience being told I was a medical miracle, I shouldn’t be alive right now. I’m SO THANKFUL FOR ALL THE RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, MEDICA STAFF AND DOCTORS. This was a hellish time for many and Thank you so much for your time 💓
Oh wow! I am so happy to hear this miracle! Stories like these are what keep us going. I would love it if YOU contacted Mark and told your story too. It is really healing for the healthcare workers to hear these stories. Look at the comments. So many of us need to hear and see stories like these.
@@toeachitsown2050 Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me 💓
Same group caused ALL your problems, and then fake "solved" them. They are not your friends, and not "heroes". Find videos of honest OBGYNS discussing tragedies of this scam on pregnant women and babies. It's a genocide...on purpose. If you had stayed away from white coats, you and your baby would never have goine through any of that horrible scam. Your baby would have much healthier outcomes not going through trauma. You are not a "medical miracle". Someone, somewhere may have not followed protocols to kill you and your baby...that's it. You've been lied to and deceived.
Hello, Covid survivor here August 2020. I can personally share with everyone my survival 5 months after the lockdown. If it weren’t for the RT’s, LPN’’s, RN’s and all the other specialists I would’ve NEVER SURVIVED THOSE DAYS IN ICU.
I'm an occupational therapist who has worked with many respiratory therapists. I have TREMENDOUS respect for RTs. They have a very challenging job. I know I couldn't do it.
Thank you for this video and interview. My father refused the ventilator and passed away from COVID on 12-08-2020. My mom was ventilated and passed away from Covid on 12-20-2020. It was a heart breaking time for me and my brother.
Problem with your story is a cheap drug would have solved patients' issues. They would have walked out of your death zone. Wife of one healthy 40 year-old who got trapped in hospital, fought to use cheap, effective drug with her husband and he IMMEDIATELY got better...until bad white coats took the drug away...when it was making him dramatically better. But, health wasn't part of the culling and fear agenda.
the medical industry did what it could to facilitate their deaths. Hospitals made a lot of money from it, and it jinned up the numbers to make it look like covid was really deadly, when the facts were such that if you had no serious ailments and were under 70, you were at near zero risk of dying.
so sorry for the loss of your loved ones
❤❤❤ Sorry , that’s a rough thing I can only imagine, take care of yourself 🥰🫶🏻fifi
I was in Valley Hospital in NJ. I had covid pneumonia and I was in respiratory failure. That was December of 2021. Thank God no ventilators at that time unless absolutely necessary. Prayers for all who worked hard during that time. And all those who didn't make it. 🙏 Many thanks to you for your service. I completely understand the PTSD you are going through ❤
There were many doctors out there saying that the ventilators KILLED people. They put them on Remdesivir (the only approved drug), their lungs filled with fluid, then the ventilators finished them off. This is no secret. Meanwhile, you have Fauci and others making millions. Look at how much his net worth increased during this time.@@ny_njtrailrunnert926
@@ny_njtrailrunnert926 Agree.
Just an FYI, ventilators are never used, unless absolutely necessary. You have to be very sick to need it.
@@toeachitsown2050Unfortunately not true in the case of covid. Early in the pandemic patients were coming in with extremely low oxygen saturation, but awake talking and responsive. Those patients were sedated and placed on a ventilator. The outcomes were not good, and quickly the treatments shifts to things like high flow oxygen and proning the patient. Medicine and doctors are not perfect. In some cases they get it wrong and have disastrous results.
@sarahjane4908 are you an RRT? Did you work directly with Covid patients through the Pandemic? I'm curious where you got this information. You don't have "high flow oxygen " on a vent, proning is a last ditch effort and so are vents. Are you implying the vents caused the deaths? Because if you think that, please explain how exactly the ventilators did that. Unless someone who got their license from UA-cam videos waa running the vent, it doesn't make sense
With much gratitude and appreciation for the work that you and other medical workers did during the pandemic. Blessings and take care.
You fool
@@summerforever6736you called them a fool for being grateful? That’s some insane stuff
I’m sure he’s a nice guy. But this interview was watching wet paint dry. Like come on, mark put you on the channel so give us some insight into what it was like on the “front line.” It’s a layup to answer Marks questions about it. What happened when you hook people up to the machine and give them a cocktail of drugs like sedatives and remdesavir?
I have a good friend that’s an RT and he told me it was 9/10 people would exit the world. Once they were hooked up to the ventilator. So expand on that. Or expand on the hospital protocol and why everyone was treated the same. Or expand on how much money was paid to the hospital per patient. Expired or alive.
Yes!!! Those are the questions I was wanting and expecting to hear here. Watching wet paint dry is the perfect analogy.
Thank to these comments, this is one video of Mark's I won't finish. I was hoping he would elaborate on the trauma from being forced to follow protocols that killed so many ppl
I couldn't finish it either...and Im a medical professional (past tense). I am always shocked at how many of my previous co-workers think in only one direction. Basically speaking, they do as they're told. I still see them and will always be friends but the whole c one nine experience showed me a lot about my past co-workers.
@@candyland8903what are you talking about? What protocols do you think should have been the proper reatment of patients suffering from respiratory failure. Where are you getting your medical information.
I actually watched paint dry during the interview so I wouldn't fall asleep.
I also worked as a respiratory therapist during Covid… I’m so glad Nic did this interview to bring some awareness to how difficult things were in our field… multiple 12 hr nights of patients rapidly declining every shift was really hard to deal with... there was always a sequence of decline-high flow O2 to bipap to intubation then ventilator and proning… rarely were we ever able to save anyone after that. A majority passed away, but I always remember the ones who miraculously made it through. Thank you to Nic and all healthcare workers out there that worked through Covid, and did everything you could to care for your patients🙏🏻❤️ you are all rockstars🙌🏻
Amen. I married an RRT. You guys literally saw everything during Covid
No one feels sorry for those who got paid big $$$ to roll-out deadly protocols on innocent people. We know the protocols KILLED patients. Paid $25,000 for each innocent victim put on a vent. Paid for this toxic kidney-killing "rem" drug and paid for that toxic drug. Sad, when one or two simple and cheap things would have quickly healed and had person walking out door. YOU and your participation using evil and deadly protocols sickened and KILLED innocent people.
Nic, you are such a cool, warm guy. So articulate and professional but broken-hearted after every loss. The image of the doctor pleading did me in. You’re wise to look after your own mental health. All the best.
Nic seems like an amazing person. You can see the trauma in his eyes. I hope he can get the help he needs and deserves to heal the best he can. Thank you for doing a job that most wouldn’t or couldn’t Nic. Sending so much love
Should thank the morticians that signed up for there job but didn’t cry about it online since the pandemic still isn’t completely over.
I see the bullshit in his eyes
You both sound like Trump supporters 😂

I love that you had a medical professional on. I was actually hoping you would eventually. Would love to see an EMT that works near or on skid row.
Thank you so much Nic and Mark. And all health care workers. My dad was mentally all there. Physically his back was a mess.He waited a year to get in the VA home. He went in, in September 2023. 4 days later they had a covid outbreak and he got it. I got a call in the morning my dad was found unresponsive and unconscious. He never woke up. In a coma from Covid pneumonia, and a blood clot from Covid went to his brain. We are a very close family. My brother and I were at the VA hospital day and night. The staff were unbelievable kind, and took care of dad even though the doctors told us he would never wake up. Dad died one week later.😢 By the way he was all vaccinated too. And there was a team of eight hospice doctors. They explained everything, and helped us.❤
I was about to ask if he was vaccinated...sorry to hear.
Sigh, everyone knows that ailment narrative is from him getting experimental donut-juice. People of all ages, even top athletes and children, have same symptoms after partaking of the juice. They ALL discussed this known outcome at their original "approval meeting" way back at beginning...wonder how many here bothered to watch the big meeting??? Guessing most didn't bother to listen to "top and trusted" group vote to roll it all out. Missed public discussion of ALL the KNOWN outcomes of donut-juice, including what you described with your dad. They said they'd keep an eye on it LOL...sure. Google "di*** sudd***ly and get back to us. VA is culling the herd...that's it. No one "helped him"...it's called a genocide. Paid big money for every step of their corrupt protocols. $$$$$$$ Few heroes in health care anymore, and most are laughing all the way to the bank.
A lot of people in the medical field have PTSD from COVID. We need to address this.
Good luck with that. Take a look at how our country takes care of our Veterans' PTSD...
A lot of people had to watch their family members die through a window too, while they suffered depression from isolation in a facility, forced to do things against their will. What about those people?
A lot for ppl have ptsd now as a result of following orders and knowing deep down that following those orders is what killed so many. Vents are what killed so many, not covid. The inactions that were not taken to not actually treat the virus, is what killed so many 😢
@@ColdCreekB Seek professional mental health help, or idk continue to seek validation for why you continue to suffer through UA-cam comments? I don’t wish that on anyone but I’m gonna keep it real with you. You should be speaking to an adequate DBT or EMDR specialist.
@@candyland8903 vents saved a lot more lives than they killed. My aunt was on a ventilator for 29days. She was as close to death as it gets before that.
The worst crime was the cabal/government not allowing the meds to be given that could have helped millions. We all know this now. Always be your own advocate when talking with your doctor. Find someone who is of the same mindset and never stop researching.
Very compassionate, sensitive guy. Thank you for everything you did, Nic.
I lost my father before senior year. I didnt get to see him for 2 months before his passing. Just constant zoom calls, plasma donations, constant setbacks. I truly didnt prepare for it and it still haunts for sure. I definitely give hope and love to people who are still healing.
So much for your loss
I totally understand, I’m a first responder who contracted it in March 2020 and almost passed away, but after 29 days of hell I recovered 🙏🏿, my mother unfortunately passed away April 2020 and 6 weeks later my father passed away. My condolences for your loss. If you haven’t please consider grief counseling. Be well.
@@daniel.h2940❤
as a healthcare worker, i 100% agree with everything he said. thanks for opening up and sharing your experiences!!
Nic, you are a beautiful man. You signed up to use your skills and did the best you could with faulty systems. In the U.K 'Covid Enquiry' we are hearing about the lack of preparedness before Covid here at the moment. Maybe only coutries that had experienced SARS were prepared? For those of us who lost someone, we have nothing but admiration and gratitude for you and your co-workers who did all you could. Get that PTSD support and save one more person through kindness or through your skills. As a 60 year old woman from the South coast of England, I am grateful to you. Love from across the water. x
By far one of the most impacted stories ever!! Thanks Mark.. covid changed so many Healthcare workers.. I am still dealing with PTSD .. we are passionate Healthcare workers, we had no clue what we signed up for.. and all of us still in it, we didn't have what we needed! And for those of us still in in.. bless us all.. its NOT OVER!
We also never got a break. We couldn't use much ETO or catch a breather.
Fellow RT here. Well done Nic and you're not alone, as I am sure you are aware. Joe does good work with his team from AVLS. I also teach CC Medics at the Univ of Florida and I offer the same explanation as others. No one is here to steal jobs but to educate those pre-hospital providers who MUST KNOW how to use a vent and use it safely. Well spoken sir...thanks for highlighting what we do...and what we have done, and will continue to do! Be well~
As a nurse I GET it. I made a choice to help people in ANY situation. Yes it SUCKED but i took the oath to help in ANY means possible. Good idea you are stepping down. We all handle it differently. As an ICU nurse we see things that no one will ever have to see. I wish you the best.
Thank you for all you did and continue to do as a nurse. May God bless you and protect you.
However, his motives for doing the interview have nothing to do with his 'burn out', and everything to do with seeking stardom.
And your counterparts used it as a means to make tiktok videos for clout. Dancing around on the graves of those who lost their lives due to their incompetence.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!
I worked thru covid at a small, rural hospital on the 'med-surg' floor. Besides how sick the patients were & how packed & over capacity it was- I remember the heavy weariness of myself & my coworkers. I was in and out of covid isolation rooms for my whole 12 hour shift, wearing stifling hot PPE and just running from one patient to another, all day long. The needs were endless and overwhelming, day after day. I would pass a co-worker intent on keeping up as I was, and would hear the resigned, heavy sighs from myself & random coworkers as we passed in the halls. It was emotionally & physically exhausting.
As a nurse of 30 years, I’ve seen a lot of death. None of them are easy at all. You have to separate yourself when working… Healthcare workers will understand me. When I worked in the ER and was doing CPR on young children for example…. You work like hell to Save them. You step out of your own emotional mind for a bit. When over, the silence can be deafening. You walk away to be alone, you pace and cry. You take it home with you. You hold it in and don’t share it all with family. You don’t always share it with your co-workers. It’s just an understanding you have with one another. The other nurses, doctors, RT’s, techs etc… are your family. You spend as much, if not more time with them, than your own family. You have an unbreakable bond because you see and deal with things, that other people don’t and can’t understand. It’s like law enforcement or military…. Paramedics are a breed in and of themselves as well. I loved our paramedics. We also are a warped bunch, as I’ve been told. We can eat right after seeing the worst things; we make stupid jokes and play pranks on one another and folks don’t understand that it’s a coping mechanism sometimes. We miss many meals and don’t get enough bathroom breaks, if any at all. If we didn’t have some of these releases, we wouldn’t survive. 30 years later and I still remember the first traumatic death I saw and his family. I have a piece of every one of them in my heart. I still go the gravesite randomly, of my first infant patient. He lies close to some of my own family members and is a part of me now and forever as well. I have much respect for this man who’s speaking out about his experience, as most of us don’t and won’t share. God bless him and his struggles.
I want to add that I myself had COVID and ended up in the ICU as a patient as well. I thank God for the staff who took care of me and saved my life. People have died whether they were vaccinated or not. Folks used to support Healthcare workers and then turned on the ones who didn’t take the vaccine. Staff were cursed out and horrible things have been said to them. As we’ve learned and seen, there have been ramifications and death, of the ones who’ve taken multiple ‘vaccines’. It’s not like the normal vaccines such as MMR, polio etc.. Folks have had blood clots, heart problems etc.. from it. People have died. It’s a personal choice. Just as we’ve learned the mask don’t prevent that teeny tiny virus from invading them. It’s a trial and error as we learned about Covid. Thousands of healthcare workers etc.. lost their jobs, which put an even greater strain on patient care. Healthcare will NEVER be the same since Covid hit.
Best of luck, Nic, and thank you for speaking out. Most people have no idea what a toll it took on our medical community.
As someone who lost a cousin to Covid, which broke my heart, thank you so much for everything you did man to help everyone definitely a dark time Couldn’t imagine what that guy saw Thank you sir.
I am so sorry your cousin passed. Sending love.
@@markangelorgs.2773
As someone who also lost a loved one to Covid I’ll answer your question. No, she couldn’t get vaccinated. You’re aware that there was NOT a vaccine in the beginning? By the way, had there been a vaccine, she 100 % would have been vaccinated.
@@markangelorgs.2773 I've read several of your posts about Covid vaccinations. I personally got them all but many were persuaded they were more harmful than the disease itself. Trying to convince someone with a contrary point of view is impossible. People have to take responsibility for their own health.
@@user-mq6dy2ee5f I really appreciate that Yeah, she was definitely. My favorite cousin it’s crazy to think next month will be two years she’s been gone Life happens. She’s in a better place.
As a respiratory therapist that worked throughout the pandemic as well I respect you tremendously. We went through a lot during that time. Thanks for sharing our story.
And you were all wrong with how you all handled it. THAT is what should be keeping you all up at night. Many died because of the political nonsense so many of you created out of tribal nonsense. The vast majoirty of the original deaths were due to the improper use of the ventilators. But we will just sweep all that under the rug with dancing tiktok videos.
Shameful behavior y’all displayed.
@@mytruthslays1303right on. im not blaming each individual worker. but only a few actually stood up to the administration.
until they see the truth for what it is, how can these nurses heal?
I appreciate them. but boy many got brainwashed.
it tough to watch people die because of ones actions
Wow! Look at all the trolls who don't have a clue about respiratory therapy trying to insult medics! GTFOHWTBS!
His comments are too generalized and not specific. Never mentions anything specific. Not even what we could have done better or things maybe we should not have done it all. I grew up with a lot of Vietnam vets and have seen a lot of PTSD. But I've never heard somebody talk so long and be so generally in specific
Well, in fairness, 'Nam is one thing..This man had to see the 'Vid! Much worse, clearly.

I’m a retired RRT who retired from my position at UCSD Medical Center in 2004 after 20 years in the profession. I could not fathom working through COVID. Thank you for sharing this here.
Fellow healthcare worker, a nurse at a NYC hospital. For me the hardest part was having to stay away from family because I was worried that I would be an asymptomatic carrier and give it to a family member. My parents were really worried about me working and begged me not to. Also, seeing many people dying by themselves was really hard. I can’t imagine how scared they were as their illness progressed and without any support. Family/friends weren’t allowed to visit and as healthcare workers we limited our time in the rooms to prevent increasing the chance of contracting the virus. It was all around very sad and felt hopeless at times.
@@markangelorgs.2773did you think of that all by yourself? Good job.
@@markangelorgs.2773 kind of like your skull
@@princesjasmyn no actually I witnessed it.
@@markangelorgs.2773 why not deny there even were tents?
Really sad thing were all the honest NYC nurses and doctors who came forward and told truth about wrong protocols and wrong treatments of patients. One honest and intelligent ICU doctor was moved after he came out telling truth about what was happening in NYC. Plenty of nurses in NYC told other terrible things happening...those would be worth making videos, not this corrupt, sold-out clown.
I was a Telemetry tech at a small community hospital in Texas. Covid really ruined the whole medical profession for me.The hospital, Dr's, management really dropped the ball and did not do right by the patients or the staff. It was a horrible time. Seeing ppl die on the monitor, every day, every shift and knowing they were in complete isolation is haunting
It probably wasn't the Hospital or Dr's. most used the CDC as a reference in the very beginning and had few resources
Yes, too many spineless, sold-out, power-hungry, white coat individuals willing to participate and look the other way during inhumane and downright evil treatment of innocent people. Shame on all of them.
@@toeachitsown2050and then they learned that protocol was killing people … but kept doing it.
@tangie06_33 "the protocol" whatever that means because treating patients isn't like following a recipe to bake bread, did not kill patients. We saved people's lives. Covid and ignorance killed patients. We only used treatments that worked and showed results. Every patient has their care completely customized to them from day #1. It's not like we medical professionals don't use our brains and problem solve. Lots of treatments were tried all over the world in the very beginning to figure out which ones worked best. That's what we used, not what some quack on the internet making Big Bucks from his loyal followers said. This kind of ignorance killed people, not our "protocols" that you know nothing about because you clearly don't understand how vents work of what medications were being used.
@@toeachitsown2050 I know all too well the "medications" that were being used. And it was the SAME across the board. Thankfully more and more people are aware and despite your multiple posts trying to deny what happened you can't stop people from speaking up about their experience. When a lot of people who have never met from all across the country have a nearly identical story it is crystal clear there was a protocol. Remdesivir, fluids, vent, death. Over and over and over again. It was killing people but it was the "protocol" so HCPs felt justified in following it even though they knew the outcome was going to be the same every time. Death sentence.
I can already tell where this interview is going. I am part of the people who knew the Rona protocols were killing people but since it helped people get rich, killing anyone they could was how it played out.
I hope you will recover, and that life will get better for you, your husky, and all of your family. God bless!
What a beautiful man and a beautiful soul. Such a selfless hero. Thank you for being on the frontlines during that horrific time. Im so glad you had your Husky to support you. God bless you.
What a classic SWU idiot commenter.
I teach English language skills to international students at a Pharmacy school. My students were 18 and 19 years old, had part time jobs in pharmacies when Covid started. Week by week, they would tell me in online classes that fewer and fewer people were showing up for work. Their coworkers got sick, some were scared, so these kids were suddenly full time, working alone, in a different country during a pandemic lockdown. I would always check in and ask if they were doing ok. 100% of them said they wouldn’t give up, they would go to work and take care of their patients. One said, “this situation is why I want to work in healthcare. This is what I’m supposed to do, I won’t give up; I’m not afraid.” I was amazed at their courage. They never missed classes either, even when they got Covid, wrapped in blankets, drinking tea and coughing with lmics off in their little zoom squares. I hope you students are all ok out there!!
This is a good start…Hopefully Nic will process this and come back with the next layer. I really want the medical professionals to speak out so we can all start healing from this trauma.
We won't have time to recover before the next trauma is enacted upon us, this is it now until the end
Me too.
We can't speak out because people call us liars, wannabe heros, accuse us of mindlessly following orders, blaming us for the deaths because they "did their research" and know better how we could have treated patients, etc. The verbal abuse has been endless and no one will stick up for us. Everyone else wants to continue on like it's a closed chapter. People don't want to be educated either, they decided that they know as much as a trained professional because they spent hours "researching" it on the internet. The medical field will never recover if these things are not addressed.
Better use of time is to interview families of victims who were done-in by wrong, white coat protocols and drugs at every step, until worthless vent aka final nail in the coffin. Simple drug and treatment would have set them all out the door without a fuss, but no...have to roll-out culling protocols for $$$$. MJ "Money" defines those participating in this intentional culling of society.
Get Nancy Drew on mystery of where colds, flu, and pneumonia disappeared to for a couple of years??? White coat magic trick of get masses looking one way, while real action was happening behind curtain and closed doors.
Thank you for sharing your story. Now that people aren’t dying rapidly from COVID it’s not talked about enough anymore. What healthcare workers went through… no supplies, reusing N95s, not enough bipaps and the pt has to be intubated if a vent was available… people pulling bipaps off and making the decision to run in not gowned up until someone can help or letting the patient possibly code while you put everything on. Being scared of bringing something home to your family. It was the hardest time in my life.
This is one of the best interviews I have watched on here. Nic explained his feelings in a deep and meaningful way. The tragedy of the Covid epidemic is comparable to fighting in a battle. Sensitive caring people like Nic were hurt by witnessing suffering and death on this scale. He and the other front line health workers deserve great respect. Nic, thank you for your service.
Not all are like Nic. I met my share of Healthcare workers who do not care at all
Much respect to you!! RN here and want to say how much I value RRTs. You are the unsung hero’s of the hospital and I hope you know that. The secondary trauma that healthcare workers have experienced is NOT ok. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope some people not in healthcare will truly listen and understand how challenging it is to work in these environments. Thank you for what you do.

My aunt had to retire from being a RT after covid .. still traumatized. She told me" I've 43 patients in a vent and i don't think any will be coming off" . My daughter was working in a rehab hospital during covid and she's traumatized by the way administration (mis)handled it like using the same PPE for weeks, if they got any in the beginning, to a patient dead for 3 days before they discovered it, to burns to her throat from being forced on disinfection duty, to vaccination coercion ... she finally left. I don't doubt there are many HCW and patients severely traumatized from that terrible time.
Thanks Nic. I’m an RT also. So nice to hear someone put this into words. I became so disillusioned that after about 18 months of covid I took early retirement. I did the job for over 30 years. Not the way I wanted to go out, but at some point you take care of yourself. All trust is gone in the medical industrial complex.
Not being given the basic supplies and support needed is what haunts me, as it does him. I blame the hospitals. Reuse masks? No saline flushes? Med shortages. No staff to turn, bathe, clean, feed. We need more support, we need to organize. It’ll happen again, and good people like you and Nick and me are simply done.
Most will never understand the strain this guy has gone through. It’s going to take him time to recover. Continuous unrelenting stress, isolation and night shift. I couldn’t do it. Respect to this man🙏🏻
This guy went through this strain because he made a decision to take multiple, very lucrative, crisis contracts. Some paid 6,000-8,000 per week. He picked unrelentless stress, isolation and night shift and make a ton of money. I worked as an RN in a NYC hospital during Covid and chose my family and mental health over $$ so I stayed at my hospital and microdosed my trauma instead of drowning in it.
Problem with his story is a cheap drug would have solved patients' issues. They would have walked out of your death zone. Wife of one healthy 40 year-old who got trapped in hospital, fought to use cheap, effective drug with her husband and he IMMEDIATELY got better...until bad white coats took the drug away...when it was making him dramatically better. But, health wasn't part of the culling and fear agenda.
I like how he addressed how cold people's responses were to healthcare workers. Yes, we "chose" the field & we know what we're skilled to do, but without adequate resources, you're up the creek without a paddle.
We were not trained for a Pandemic unfortunately. If Covid-19 had been better controlled from the beginning, all cases would have went to CDC Hospitals just like Ebola did.
Healthiest people never set foot in a white coat scam world. Once TikTok dances started, respect for integrity of that profession was gone. Too many have learned about Rock oe Feller scam med practiced today, and all the money made by criminal actions using wrong drug cocktails and wrong protocols to cull the herd. $25,000 for each innocent victim put on vent. And, big $$$ for each drug and protocol blindly rolled-out.
They still are. Look at some of the comments by "internet experts" who "did their research". I wonder if people will still want to enter the healthcare field after all that has transpired.
Can't speak for others, but i was never cold to medical workers, i was cold to the sham part of it where they had nurses dancing on tik tok, and were having propagandist "medical" people on tv spewing lies. The people really going through it i have all the respect in the world for.
Lots of people will because power and money talks louder than ethics for most people. MJ "Money" song defines most today.@@meowecho699
I agree wholeheartedly with the things he says. As a healthcare professional, we needed the supplies to do our job during COVID.
What supplies were missing?
@@Cyndi59 one thing, hospitals quickly ran out of ventilators pretty early on so they had to make hard choices on which people to give them to and which would not get one. They also ran out of masks and other PPE which exposed a lot of healthcare workers to the virus.
@@user-mq6dy2ee5f Govenor Guido order a bunch. shoulda asked him for some. He had many stacked in his backyard.
@@Cyndi59everything, supplies at first, then staff, beds and even public support.
At my hospital, we 1st ran out of masks & gowns. We even ran out of sanitizer and the wipes we use to clean equipment. People even stole supplies, so it had to be locked up and distributed by managers.
Oh... I lied, the #1st thing we ran out of were rooms that could properly contain Covid patients because before the Pandemic, every hospital had only 1 or 2 anti rooms (negative pressure rooms designed for airborne viruses). We had to somehow create entire wings of these overnight, even though you're technically supposed to have 2 rooms (a doff/Don room in between the contaminated room and the regular rooms).
Oh, yes, we also ran out of Covid tests right away, so we couldn't even properly test everyone. It was obvious who had Covid though, because it was such a unique presentation.
Then we ran out of beds and low on medications. BEFORE Covid the average stay in the ICU was about 3 days I believe. It was rare for a patient to be in the ICU for more than a few days, and if they were, they probably were going to die.
But with Covid patients, the average stay in the ICU was 2 weeks!! Some took up a bed in the ICU (which requires the most resources) for a whole month!
Once all the beds and ER was filled, patients had to be diverted elsewhere. We had to ship patients 2 states away sometimes.
I am an RN that worked thru the AIDs epidemic in NYC in the 80s. It was horrible to see so many people die horrible deaths. The only way i survived was to make art. I painted my feelings since nobody could possibly understand what I witnessed. I have had tremendous PTSD and depression from 35 years at hospital bedsides. I bacame numb and felt like a zombie. I finally quit before Covid but I understand the difficulty Nick faced. I am glad he has a dog. My dogs have gotten me through too. Nick you are a hero. Live your life fully and if going back is hard, please do not beat yourself up. Being in healthcare is like being in an ongoing war. You can only give so much until you crack. Take care of yourself. Hug trees, hug dogs, spend time away from civilization. Find peace within and heal. All healthcare workers need time to heal but we feel so damn guilty doing that. I am in my 13th year of retirement from nursing and i am still healing. It takes time.❤ lots of time and doing things that bring you joy..
Thank goodness for dogs!!
Retired RT from the 80’s San Francisco. 😢
AIDs patients died from AZT
This man has a heart of gold.

Thank all of you in the Medical Profession for being there for all of us during this Horrible Horrible Time. I lost 6 Family members during the 1st wave. It was the hardest and the Saddest thing ever. From Not being able to be there for them Start to End. Just getting them help to find a hospital the No contact after they left the house to not being there to let them know it’s going to be okay to there burial. I Have so many family members in the Medical field who were working very diligently day in and day out and also got Covid. This was the most stressful,difficult and Devastating time for all of us around the Globe. How did this happen to us. Thank You Thank You to everyone who was there for our family and friends who took there last breath with out us to hold there hands. You are all a God Sent. ❤
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for the support
Thank you for your story, Nic, and thank you to Mark for highlighting the impact of COVID on healthcare workers. I’m a psych nurse practitioner and I hope you’ll consider looking into the impact of COVID on the mental health community - patients and providers. It’s been a rough few years
My best friend was a travel nurse during Covid. He spoke of NONE of the mistakes made. So many people didn't need ventilators. Those patients not turned, using bypass oxygen, etc.
She burned out from the " there's one protovol" regardless.
He's just an advocate
😅
Spot on
Exactly. A lot of the mistakes had to do with putting patients on those vents and the vents are what ultimately suffocated those ppl. He probably is severely traumatized by having to follow protocol and knowing deep down that protocol is what killed thousands. Must be a heavy heavy load to carry.
And the respiratory therapist should know the patients should not be laid flat with pneumonia. That is what clued our therapist. Just saying.
Let's see: $12k bonus if admitted to hospital with a positive covid PCR test, 25% bonus/markup on any services provided and $39k bonus if a patient is put on a ventilator. Gee, wonder why they pushed ventilators? They made money hand over fist with all incentives starting with a positive test ran @ 40 cycles. Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR stated unequivocally that it was for research and not for medical diagnosis. ETA: correction
I am forever thankful for you Nic, and all healthcare workers!❤
Thank you Nic for EVERYTHING you did! I can't express how greatful I am for the medical field during and still now dealing with COVID! Unless you lost someone or were on the front lines, you'll NEVER understand. I yope Nic can bring himself to continue in the medical field! This is one of the BEST interviews I've seen on this channel! I wish more health care progiders speak out about this!!! God bless you Nic!!! 💖🥰❤️🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And then there are the survivors. The ones who survived the hospital death protocols. These healthcare workers are not heroes. They are weak minded and complicit. They don’t have PTSD. They are riddled with GUILT over what they participated in.
As a man who Covid nearly took I just want to say thank you to all of the medical professionals and hospital workers for your services to out great nation. Without whom I wouldn't be here to thank at all. Again, thank you and I truly understand why one would leave the field. As a war veteran I've see my share of death too and I got out of the military just as soon as I could honorably. Please know that the feelings and deep hurt you experience will fade, as time heals most of our emotional pain but it will never be gone entirely. You are all true heroes in my book, I salute you. Thanks for my life and many others that you'd saved during this awful time in our history.
I am a long term care nurse.we all have PTSD.have heard so many times" I don't think I can do that again". Staff falling out like flies, hospitals spending patients back.telling us " we can't help you". We turned into a mini hospital. Great drs and nurses.we rocked it 100%.
The doctors along with false positive lab reports created this biowarfare attack especially when they were prevented from prescribing meds that work .

Where’d you get that one?
RT in Ohio. Spent 2 years working Covid. It was horrible. I end up with physical issues that sent me to the ER twice. 2nd time the doctor asked me about anxiety. Huh.... wow! Ok. I've since left acute care and went LTAC. I had to get away. People will never truly know. It was like our own little war.
We had a traveler who went to Boston several times, she said it was a nightmare!! Covid was very real. The shit was horrible.
Thank you Nick for sharing your story. My heart and gratitude goes out to you and all the Healthcare professionals. Healthcare is a very demanding and stressful job but so many people selflessly put their own life on the line to help others. I can totally see how burnt out happens. And feeling helpless is one of the most frustrating feelings ever. I was going to go into the medical profession but later realized I just couldn't do it. My weakness is babies and old people. On the flip side I can see that such work can be very rewarding. Without all you people, we would be up a creek but I also feel that God gives people callings to do this kind of work. Take care Nick! ❤
Doctors were told to administer Rendisivir and Ventilators, this was the problem and cause of deterioration. Research it yourself
💯 they sent their patients to this man 😢 very sad
So true. REMDISVIR ( REFERED TO AS, RUN DEATH IS NEAR)

Great Great video Nic/Mark. I was in ICU June 9 2021 knocking at deaths door from covid. Thanks to the great hospital God and one of many great doctors and nurses, I walked out of there on June 18. There was an RN that was there most days and the second day he asked me if I wanted to walk out of there. My reply of course, was hell yes and listening to him I do believe was a bonus. Being transferred from ICU to an isolation floor was unbelievable and I thanked him for putting in the care. He said "no he was just doing his job." No sir, you did more in my eyes.
It's wonderful to hear stories like these
I heard this guy out. But, whenever someone mentions the pandemic my heart is immediately hardened. I'm not a denier. I know it was bad & fatal for some. But, covid was also the degradation of an already suffering society. We weren't in a healthy place before. But, we were functioning. Covid expedited our downfall. We are facing a total collapse in its aftermath. We are all broken now. We've lost our humanity. Our empathy. Reality. Our ability to think rationally & critically. Everyone is so impersonal now. It was handled all wrong & those in power knew exactly what they were doing. I'm afraid we will never recover from this.
You are so right. The American administration that was in power during Covid failed us. Now, that administration wants a second chance in 2024. Hell no!
Fatal for some? is 4 Million people "some"??? Wow!
@@pie0ful How many of those already had underlying health problems tho or were used as a pawn? I see you were one of the critical thinking casualties I was referring to. This is the stuff they won't tell you. Loss of credibility for the entire healthcare industry is another symptom of covid. If you think I don't know someone who passed away during covid not from covid & they still wanted to list it as a cause of death, you are mistaken. Fortunately, his family had the wherewithal & determination to fight for their loved one & didn't allow it.
Ok, look... underlying health conditions doesn't matter. Just about everyone has some. I mean high blood pressure was on that list! It killed WAY more people than anything we've seen in a very long time all at once and almost killed even more. It was very disproportionate and obvious to trained experienced healthcare workers. And YES, there were occasionally patients who were completely young/healthy who died. Even some athletes died. It effected everyone differently and it was like rolling dice.
As far as if we will recover? Yes, we will. I was lucky enough to meet quite a few Polio survivors during this time. They were patients of mine and believe it or not, everything from the vaccine drama, to the fighting over masks, to shutting down and isolation to the "go back to New York " because people were fleeing cities ALSO happened with Polio. You should look up some of the old images. The pig politicians even used masks vs no masks to get votes! AND Polio survivors suffered long-term mystery illness, just like long Covid. History repeated itself, except now we have the internet.
Pandemics happen. They are naturally occurring events. This is just the only one most of us have seen/experienced.
An overall survival rate of 99.6% without the vaccine should have been addressed. I am a DoD employee and took the vax before being forced. I now how debilitating inflammation that changed my life for the worse. I went from working out 5 days a week to having a second spinal fusion just to walk without pain. Thanks for sharing your story.
You have to be brain dead to take Anything for a cold they Told you had a 99% survival rate, but people are still wearing masks and getting boosters.
😢We try to say to People not trust this injection and the g0v no one wanna listen. Sorry for your bad condition, that was a experimental shoot. Anyway maybe you can try fasting long enought. It help, itd a noble price 2016 auphagy, sorry my bab english im french canadien
millions of people have a similar story
I know of no one who has had any long-term eff3cts of the vax. At the time, it was risk dying alone and or giving Covid to someone else who could die or not.
@markangelorgs.2773 that would be a story to hear on swu
Anybody ever wondered where the FLU disappeared to in 2020? Dig into that!
wooow, it's almost as if washing hands, wearing masks and keeping one's distance from another lowers the spread of a respiratory virus
The #1 co-morbidity of Covid was Pneumonia and Influenza A (H1N1)...the reconstituted/weaponised (gain of function) 1918 Spanish Flu.... which was not tested or treated because IT'S COVID FROM WUHAN!!!
LOOK HERE!!! (Wuhan) not THERE!! (the P&I co-infection that killed people).
nope I know exactly where it went
@@markangelorgs.2773 😅
Thanks for this post.. I am a surgical tech who trached these patients with these texhs.. what a whorl wind.. I live in Dallas and it was an absolute nightmare.. with you all the way
PS
Huge thanks to Nic for his heart to help in a horrific situation. You sir have gone above & beyond and are absolutely a hero in every sense of the word. I pray you get wise counsel & are able to release the trauma. You deserve a life full of joy.
My wife suffered for over three weeks with cov pneumonia before she died in Sept. 2021. She was only 40 years old and left behind three children. The hospital big shots and their gov protocols are what killed her. She was pumped full of poisonous chemicals and drowned on her own fluids. Pneumonia is a buildup of fluid in the lungs. The only way to expel this fluid is to cough. She wasn’t even given a chance. She was placed on c-pap and then a ventilator and never got to cough one time. She was double jibbed. Those things were just more poison. The entire medical industry is a sham. She was killed for profit
Heartbreaking. May your wife rest in peace.
@matthewnorris8159,
I am so sorry to read about your wife. And I understand what you are saying. Hope you are your children are well. ♥
I am so very sorry. Once you were admitted in the hospital they called all the shots. This breaks my heart. Your babies should have their mom. Justice is coming soon.
Sadly, Matthew is 100% correct. I'm SOOO glad I was wise enough to refuse the quackcine and all PCR tests. All vaccines are poison. Read Dr. Suzanne Humphries' eye-opening book, 'Dissolving Illusions'.
Rob Skiba was murdered in the hospital too. His wife wrote a book documenting all the treatments, phone calls, discussions with Dr’s etc. The book is titled
“The Protocol that kills”
The feeling of ‘I can’t do enough’ ‘what I can offer isn’t enough’ goes back to childhood and is very very common in health care professionals- part of why we get attracted in. I hope this guy can do some therapy to get to the bottom of this feeling with someone who understands developmental trauma and release that old grief.
Covid icu nurse from FL here.. I feel this all. The rest of our careers there will always be a divide between who was there and who wasn't. I dont talk about it either.. we wouldn't have made it without our kick ass RTs ❤
Is there a jump in cases/deaths currently?
Norman. When searching for and trying ANY and ALL treatments did your "team" ever turn to the FLCCC treatment protocols like MATH+ , I-CARE, I- PREVENT? These protocols were extremely successful in places that didn't cancel, suppress, attack, and outright criminalize these treatments. The effectiveness of these protocols are still being attacked by the FOR PROFIT pharmaceutical / medical industrial complex. Were there financial incentives to use "in house" "officially vetted" treatments? You should ask the Head Doctors and Top Administrators that question. Good luck to you Norman. I wish you all the best.
Thank you. I agree but just found myself exhausted listening to this guy. I respect him and his efforts and sympathise with his suffering, but he shed in my opinion several stupendous comments, such as PTSD being something silly. These are incredibly unprofessional remarks and I find myself questioning his competency after hearing them.
@@3nrikayou obviously didn't listen carefully to what he said! Maybe you need to re watch the interview while you can really pay attention to what he was saying. Just my opinion.
@@JenniferThacker1969 I disagree. I just wasn't going to rewind to catch his exact words. He referred to how PTSD was something along the lines of overused these days, the clear insinuation being that unlike war veterans and covid care personnel, others are not as legitimate.
My response to that line of reasoning was and remains that, that's ignorant at best. Oh and that someone like him should know better.
Thank you, Nic, for sharing about what you went through during the pandemic and how it has affected you! Hopefully, other first responders and first line care people will benefit from your doing so!
Being forced and threatened to get a medical treatment is unacceptable
Thank you for sharing. I understand a lot of what you are going through and feel. I was a Trauma ER Nurse in Iraq and Afghanistan. Compartmentalizing is what we do and trying to be strong through it all. I never want to go back to critical care nursing again.
I lived in a constant state of fear for 43 days while my wife laid on a respirator. She passed from in 21. The medical staff was amazing. Thank y’all! Your script was hell for 2 years. I saw the hell. Chase your purpose. That’s all we can do to heal.
I am very sorry for your loss. ❤🫂
we are now hearing reports that cheap effective treatments were banned in lieu of more profitable ones. also that harmful drugs were diven as treatment (rhymes with Lemdisivir), and that vents were wildly overused (and actually caused many of the deaths). are you aware of any of this? if so how does it make you feel?
@@edwardbedrosian2272 it was a path I went down. If greed was apart of Covid, let the greed path take its course. Time will tell.
@@edwardbedrosian2272 can't have alternative treatments and an emergency authorization. this is why no other treatments were available.
I've lived in constant fear for 3 years after losing my job and house for refusing quackccination.
As an RT its amazing to finally hear someone talking about what it was really like.......it nearly ended my career and tremendously affected my life. I also have never talked much about it because people just don't understand. My hat is off to you sir
Thank you for your service, Nick!!! My DIL is an ICU nurse, my sister an NNP my niece is an ICU nurse, all struggling with PTSD. ❤❤❤❤❤
