ne year ago, intensive care on the front line

"During the first wave, the pace of work was insane. I spent 16 hours a day at the hospital". Jérôme Pugin, head of intensive care at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), recounts this unheard-of start to the pandemic, with days that began between 5:30 and 6 a.m. and ended after 9 p.m. "So, at first, I didn't even realize that there were people clapping from windows and balconies."
