SOUNDBITES OF:1- VALENTINA (WHO DOESN'T WANT TO SAY HER SURNAME), COLOMBIAN NURSE:"The truth is that nobody could see that coming and everybody thought that it was something that wouldn't arrive here, it was happening in China and it wouldn't arrive. When we saw the first case in our unit, we thought: 'Ok, this is serious. It's here and we'll have to face it.""What I could see in those patients who I could interact with more -most of them were sedated, connected to a ventilator- was a feeling of impotence anxiety and uncertainty about what the next step will be."2- LEONARDO CASTILLO, VENEZUELAN ANAESTHETIST:"It was amazing. Many patients had their phones and were able to communicate with their relatives. When we make the tests that tell us the patient's condition was critical and if they need ventilator support... We saw patients saying goodbye to their relatives, telling them they will be intubated and that, from that moment, they will speak with the doctors." 3- GIOVANI PROVENCE, DOCTOR AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SOCIETY OF VENEZUELAN DOCTORS IN SPAIN:"In 2015, I had to come to Spain because I was part of the students' movement in Venezuela. We created a doctors' network and denounced the healthcare crisis, and the persecution and threats (we suffered).""Any doctor or healthcare professional is prepared to face a pandemic like this, and it has been a physical and psychological impact among the healthcare personnel."
