“It feels terrible. I feel like I’m not helping people.”

We will be out of masks soon in the ER.

If we don’t have the proper equipment then, we can’t care for you. We even have signs on the doors instructing patients to go home and call us for a scheduled appointment. Unless you have moderate fever and breathing symptoms - don’t even think about coming in. Hospitals are dangerous places right now. If we use our equipment on your common cold or flu, then we won’t have supplies for the COVID cases.

It feels terrible. I feel like I’m not helping people.
