Episode notes

A sad story on our podcast today … Ray Sneddon talks about his wife Marilyn, a nurse who stepped out of retirement to help with the quarantine program, and who lost her life to Covid in November 2021.

She spent four weeks in ICU at The Alfred before her death, and amongst other things, Ray talks about the hospital experience for families who couldn’t see their loved ones when they were so ill.

We also talk to Dr Andrew Casamento who is an ICU specialist currently at Austin Health to learn more about the pandemic experience from the perspective of a doctor working in ICU particularly and in the Victorian hospital system more generally.

This episode features Ray Sneddon and Dr Andrew Casamento.
