Some covid-19 patients on respirators died not because of their illness but rather due to grave negligence and significant failures made by an unskilled nursing staff reports Yisrael Hayom. The deaths all took place in a special corona ward at Wolfson Hospital in Holon where the patients in critical condition were being treated. The shocking revelation was noted in a memo entitled “Lessons and Conclusions” of an internal audit of patient care. The report was coordinated by Dr. Ari Soroksky, director of the ICU at the Wolfson Hospital.
“Unskilled staff”
He said that the inability of the nursing staff in the Corona Ward at the hospital “caused failures in the ongoing care and supervision of patients” adding that “in my 25 years of intensive care, I never encountered such errors, and the occurrence of such errors reveals extremely poor skill and professionalism.”
