listening to the whole interview rather than the soundbites, he seems to be trying to say while keeping patient confidentiality and aware presumably of the strict media rules Trusts have in place that mean he may suffer for his honesty for a long time to come, that he was called back in at 4.30am for an emergency for a pregnant woman who he had seen a few hours earlier and seemed to be doing OK, but who suddenly crashed and "wasn't OK anymore".
The man is watching people die and become disabled in the most traumatic way, presumably not able to provide optimal oxygen flow due to the London hospitals' oxygen delivery systems being overloaded, and the other truths of trying to provide medical care in a system without capacity.
Imagine being exhausted and seeing that loss of life, knowing more is to come, and being picked up on your words because you didn't qualify your statement with "apart from those who are clinically exempt from wearing masks".
Exactly.
I feel desperately sorry for the staff who are literally on their knees, seeing previously young, fit people dying, seeing their colleagues desperately sick, remembering the ones who have died. They are begging people to wear their masks, socially distance, wash their hands and not have parties. Yet, look around, there are selfish people breaking all those rules.
NHS staff are dropping like flies and the ones still standing are at breaking point.
Nowhere did he criticise people who have to work, or cannot tolerate a mask.
