This week, the intensive care unit at Vrinnevis Hospital in Norrköping was full.
16 patients were admitted.
Fullness is in itself a relative concept.
If there are more patients, you simply have to solve that situation, but the care will not be as good.
- It is quite obvious with the coating we have on infection, ward 99 and here at IVA that people do not take care of themselves, says Jimmy Jonsson, who works as a nurse at IVA in Norrköping.
Recently, the number of patients needing different forms of care for covid-19 has increased again.
- With this development we have had in the last week, I am worried that it will be as it was a year ago, says Jimmy Jonsson.
The hardest thing, according to him, is that patients can become so incredibly ill.
Taking a breath can be an incredible effort.
If the patient recovers, it can still be a long way back.
Anyone who has been asleep with respiratory assistance for several weeks has a hard time coming back.
You have probably heard it before, but healthcare professionals all over Sweden still say the same thing.
Jimmy Jonsson is no exception.
- We're tired of this pandemic now.
