Description
Thirty-two-year-old Louise Curtis was very much looking forward to going back to work in A&E in her Midlands hospital. What she did not expect was to be confronted with the most horrific frontline scenario a nurse could ever imagine. Moved into a newly created Intensive Care Unit for Covid patients, Louise was brought face to face with death and suffering on an unimaginable scale.
Opening with a prologue, the tale of one shift in April 2020 barely a month into the Covid pandemic, you are gripped from the start and drawn into the world of storyteller
A Nurse’s Story tells of life for Lousie in A&E; how she tried to cope and the price she has had to pay. It is a heartbreaking and heartwarming account of what NHS staff are going through on a daily basis. It is a story of tears, bravery, self-sacrifice but also of hope and great kindness, of people pulling together and triumphing against daunting odds. An extraordinary story wonderfully told.
