While Italy continues to battle the most devastating outbreak of the Chinese communist virus in all of Europe, one Italian doctor has spoken out about the psychological toll of working on the front lines of intensive caregiving.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, 37-year-old doctor Federica Pezzetti, who works at Cremona Hospital in Italy’s hardest-hit region of Lombardy, revealed that the isolation is sometimes too much to bear. “We medical mothers can no longer embrace our children,” Pezzetti explained. “Many of us are starting to give in; now we need the psychologist.”
