Coronavirus has 'been a nightmare' for New York emergency department

By Associated Press -April 26, 2020 1:00 PM




Saint Joseph's Medical Center in Yonkers, New York, has been besieged by the coronavirus.

A nurse furiously pushes down on a man's chest as five other caregivers in full protective gear surround the patient's bed.

Suddenly, one throws up his arms and steps backward.

"OK, move! Everybody move!" are the instructions.

Moments after they back away, an alarm sounds and the electrodes fastened to the patient's chest deliver a shock to his heart. His arm spasms. He shakes on the bed. Soon after, he is placed on a ventilator. He has been saved — for now.
