49 year old doctor from the Emergency Medical Care in Sofia died of coronavirus

An experienced doctor from the Centre for Emergency Medical Care in Sofia died of coronavirus on July 3.

The 49-year-old Dr. Yulian Stamov became infected during cardiac massage and artificial respiration of a Covid-19 patient in a serious condition, the emergency centre told BNT.

From the post of the Association of Emergency Medical Workers on Facebook, it is understood that the disease took his life in literally a week.

He gave his patients the most precious thing - his life, becoming infected during the most risky procedure for infection – cardiac massage of a person infected with COVID-19, the statement says. .

I do not expect the people who beat us, threaten us or have fun at the discos with our profession, to understand the heroism of Dr. Stamov. I do not expect his bosses to reward him posthumously. We are massively ignored, despite the fact that we are 10% of those infected and we are seriously ill. You will not read an article or an interview about him, nor will there be a report, because he died in a week after neglecting his own safety for the sake of his patient's life, the statement reads.

Only an emergency and intensive care doctor knows how the seconds go in a patient without breathing and how we often forget that we are mortal and vulnerable in the battle for Life. There is no time for personal protective equipment, because wearing protective clothing takes from the minutes in which you can make a stopped heart beat. Nature has given us some 8 minutes in which we can stop Death after the heart stops. If these minutes are used for our own safety, we can deprive our patient of a chance to survive. But most viruses are released during aspiration, intubation, venous manipulations. The greater the viral load, the more severe the infection of the infected, especially is the medic is exhausted from duty, insomnia and stress.

In order to ignore your own Life for the Life of a Stranger, you just have to be a Man and a Doctor in capital letters !!!, the Association of Emergency Medical Workers wrote..

This is another doctor from the medical emergency unit, who died after getting infected with coronavirus. At the beginning of May, Dr. Nelly Pandova died of COVID-19.
