SANTIAGO - All over the world, people are dying alone as relatives are barred from visiting them in hospital for fear of catching and spreading the coronavirus. But not in Chile.
This hospital has been one of the most affected in a country where more than 9,000 people have died with Covid-19 and which has seen more than 340,000 cases among the 18 million population. Around 60 people have died in the unit set up in the Barros Luco hospital where the two doctors work. The unit is in a ward with windows that allow in natural light and the murmur of nature. It was set up amid the panic of soaring coronavirus cases.
Said Dr Lopez, 44:"We were afraid before we got into this for several reasons: facing death, the fear of infection and an illness that had nothing to do with what we're used to. "Patients, even those in a deep coma, always react; they breathe quicker, their pulse accelerates, they move; hence it confirms that hearing is the last sense that you lose before dying," said Dr Lopez.
