Drs Say They Can’t Put On Full PPE In Time To Resuscitate Heart Attack Patients

Doctors ar a leading health trust in London are saying thst valuable resuscitation time is being lost as they struggle to put on on full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The mail on Sunday has been told that patients in cardiac arrest have ended up dying because doctors are obliged to put on the covid-protection equipment, which takes time.

According to the Mail Online: Although the guidance from Public Health England (PHE) is that they ‘strongly advise that there is no potential delay in delivering this life saving intervention’ for Covid reasons, it is still left to ‘Healthcare organisations [to] choose [whether or not] to advise their clinical staff to wear FFP3 respirators, gowns, eye protection and gloves when performing chest compressions’.

This newspaper also understands that some doctors have even faced disciplinary action for administering CPR to save patients’ lives without first putting on full PPE.

A doctor at one London trust said: ‘It takes between one and two minutes for us to put on the PPE and that can be the difference between life and death’.

Last night, Tory MP Marcus Fysh said it was ‘quite wrong’ to implement the restriction.

Mr Fysh said: ‘If everyone’s vaccinated among hospital staff anyway, then it isn’t a material risk to those staff in any sense to be interacting with a patient who has Covid. That’s what the statistics tell us. So I think it would be quite wrong to insist that a doctor who wanted to perform CPR couldn’t do so because they weren’t wearing the PPE.’

And Tory MP Alicia Kearns said she will raise the ‘lunacy’ of the policy with the Health Secretary. She told The Mail on Sunday: ‘No doctor wants to lose a patient. I find it hard to believe that any Trust would instruct their doctors who are fully vaccinated to potentially cost the life of a patient.’

  1. Two egregious and inexcusable typos in the
    headline. Wtf is going on with all of the typos in the world lately!?

    A few minutes later they fixed it.

    Mandela Effect I suppose.

    • Thai Pose: Yep, the Scamdela effect; one minute a murderous terrorist, the next, a Trojan Horse Saint. The hidden hand effect never fails.

  2. You ever heard the phrase “passive aggressive”? Well, this is what it means. Pulling stunts like this. You can surely see it is large scale circus with various acts down to the local level. It started off as the “Holy Roman Church”. Then it became “The Crown Corporation” and affiliates throughout Europe (spinoffs with some degree of independence, but one big class of criminals). Then it became industrial “concerns” (mercantilism barely disguised as “capitalism”). Communism is just a more despotic version, the “final squeeze” where political manipulation reaches its maximum efficiency while the technology and production capabilities are “wholly redistributed” over a completely re-engineered demography (like you’re seeing now). Like I said: FIFTH COLUMNRY WILL DESTROY ITSELF, BUT IT WILL DESTROY YOU FIRST. You should have listened.

  3. The doctors should be forced to wear PPE at all times. Small price to pay, I mean, they’re front line heroes right?

  4. The difference between lies and deaf: A doctor at one London trust said: ‘It takes between one and two minutes for us to kill the patient using remdesivir and the ventilator, just enough time to put on the PPE and then take it off, shake hands and move on to the next victim.’ Nice work if you can get it.
