It has been a month since the nurse Therése Mechlenburg and her colleagues at the Vrinevis Hospital's day surgeon were thrown into a whole new life. Therése nowadays consists of long workouts mornings, evenings and weekends where she has to care for severely ill patients who are connected to a respirator.

In a video diary, Therése says emotionally about everyday life in the department:

- It is tough with intensive care and right now I want to return to my regular job. It is terrible to see patients who cannot breathe on their own. That's why I want to urge everyone: Endure. Keep staying at home and keep your distance!

Jenny Sundén works at the Vrinevis Hospital. But she is also in great need of a knee operation. But right now, the day surgeon is transformed into a covid-19 ward. Jenny's colleagues, who usually operate on just the knees, now care for seriously ill patients who are connected to a respirator. Photo: Therése Mechlenburg
