KZN education spokesperson reveals what kept him going during his Covid-19 battle
KwaZulu-Natal education department spokesperson, Muzi Mahlambi shared his 23-days covid-19 experience in the hospital.
He commended the doctors and nursed for their amazing support.
However, he narrated that he witnessed six patients die but he learnt to adjust to the “new normal” and fought Covid-19.
“In the 18 days that I was in ICU six people died. It was so traumatic because you know when doctors and nurses rally around one bed and run around with a lot of machines that there is serious trouble.”
He said a team wearing white comes with a white mobile coffin to pick up the body.
“The next thing a new patient comes and occupies that bed. The small terrified person in you wants to tell him or her to say people died in that bed and you are quickly reminded that you also know no history about yours,” he said.
Mahlambi was admitted to hospital on July 17.
