What is going on everyone and welcome to R slash today I effed up.

Now in today's first F up post, a doctor working on the front lines during the coronavirus pandemic

accidentally gives themselves the coronavirus in possibly the stupidest way.

are a lot of COVID patients every day. I know the routine of putting on all the protective gear,

the mask, the treatment. This wasn't my first rodeo with COVID. The patient is older and is

currently hypoxic, which means they're not getting enough

oxygen. And I am suspecting a super infection with bacterial pneumonia on top. At first, the patient

is on 3 litres of 02. But the nurse calls me in because she can't get an arterial blood sample

and it needs to be done with ultrasound to find the artery. Get into all the gear,

going with the scanner, get the sample, evaluate the person, increase oxygen, get out, and confer

with my attending, get all the COVID regimen going. But the patient desaturates again. Oxygen

saturation needs to be above 95% in people with no lung diseases. Above 92% can be

acceptable in COVID cases. The patient, though, is at 84%. On goes the gear, new arterial blood

sample, increase oxygen, stabilize the patients. Rinse and repeat until I've been into the room

six times to stabilize the patient who is quickly and repeat until I've been into the room six times to stabilize the patient

who is quickly getting worse. I know the protective gear. It's like a reflex to put it all on
