France 2’s cameras take you to the hospital Delafontaine, located in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis). In room 1 801, a 65-year-old man with Covid-19 sobs. He is the victim of an anxiety attack because his condition worsened during the night. “People are afraid of dying. He has the impression that he is not going to be able to eat, that he is going to waste away. He must be reassured “, explains Dr. François Lhote, head of the internal medicine department at the Saint-Denis hospital center. 12 new people were hospitalized there for the Easter weekend.
At 8th floor of this building, the internal medicine department has 75 beds, 34 of which are occupied by patients Covid, all aware but placed on oxygen, like a 42-year-old man who is usually athletic, who did not think he was “not concerned” by disease. Faced with the third wave, the number of caregivers has been increased. Nearly nine nurses and nursing assistants watch over the sick 24 hours a day. But the pressure keeps increasing for them, who “take their troubles patiently”. The rare discharges of patients still leave some grounds for hope.
