It was a low-level panic at first, but very quickly there were big
changes taking place. Day by day, wards were being cleared to make
way for Covid-positive patients. Things were getting worse by the
day. For the first time in my nursing career, I felt scared. As a
palliative care nurse, it is Kelly Critcher's job to look death in
the eye - to save a patient while the fight can still be won, and
confront life's end with grace and kindness when it can't. In early
2020, everything changed for nurses on the NHS front line. Working
on Covid wards and the High Dependency Unit, Kelly spent the height
of the coronavirus crisis at Northwick Park hospital - perhaps the
UK hospital most deeply ravaged by the illness. She, and many
others like her, battled tirelessly in a critical care unit pushed
to breaking point, delivering the bad news and fighting the good
fight, day-in, day-out, throughout the gravest test our health
service has faced since its inception. Kelly's story weaves
together her raw, emotional diaries from the COVID frontline with a
broader reflection on the truths about a life spent caught between
battling for her patients' lives and helping them face down death
with courage and compassion. Bringing together the enormity of the
last twelve months - and the scars it will leave - this is a book
for our times.
