What it’s like inside a Halifax COVID-19 hospital ward during Omicron – CBC
‘It’s a loud, chaotic environment,’ says site lead at QEII in Halifax
Jan 20, 2022
The head of a COVID-19 inpatient unit in Halifax says the rapid spread of Omicron is filling up hospital beds with patients who are often dealing with complex health issues.
“I don’t think anyone can really, truly understand how chaotic the inpatient wards are in the hospital across the board right now, especially on the COVID unit,” Dr. Christy Bussey told CBC Radio’s Information Morning on Thursday.
Bussey is the COVID-19 inpatient unit medical lead for the central zone of Nova Scotia Health, and the QEII Health Sciences Centre site lead for hospitalist services.
Her conversation with Information Morning host Portia Clark has been edited for clarity and length.
