If you click on any of them, let it be this one.

It was only this year, over 4 years after the initial bombardment, where I felt able to talk about what happened at that time, and only then with colleagues that were there too.

I still can't really talk to my parents and other non-medical people, because they often still don't get it.
Nearly five years on, NHS workers are still feeling the effects of caring for patients with #COVID19.

I still recall vividly certain patients. The fear in their eyes when they couldn’t breathe and knew they were dying.

That will stay with me a long time.
