Unprecedent tsunami

sergio castaño Nurse Sanitas Hospital La Moraleja

MADRID — SPAIN

«I haven’t had any rest. I couldn’t, because we had to look after others and forget about ourselves. We doubled up shifts and were at the hospital all day. You had to be really aware of what was going on, because it was all new, and there was new protocol the whole time. Once things were brought under control it was all different, but at the beginning we had no idea what was going on. It hit us like a tsunami - we had no idea of what had hit us. From the first moment we would say: We are not heroes, or martyrs, not at all. I didn’t study nursing to be in a war, but to be in a hospital, helping people».
