Ariadna, a dedicated journalist from Spain, documented the harrowing experiences of Dr. Carla Barber during the COVID-19 outbreak in Madrid.
\"Carla, this is a war and we're trying to fight it with every weapon we have,\" said her fellow doctors when Dr. Barber first arrived in the city. Although she resides in the Canary Islands, her commitment to combating the pandemic drove her to join the frontline efforts in Madrid.
Dr. Carla Barber highlighted the immense pressure on the healthcare system, noting that resources were stretched thin and unable to accommodate all patients. Tragically, Dr. Barber began showing symptoms of COVID-19 herself. In a selfless move to protect her colleagues and patients, she has since been quarantined at home to prevent further spread of the virus.
Her story underscores the relentless dedication and sacrifices made by healthcare professionals worldwide in the fight against the pandemic.
