Doctors Stressed as COVID Cases Continue to Rise in Wisconsin

Friday, August 27th, 2021 -- 11:01 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) COVID-19 hospitalizations in Wisconsin are at their highest  since January, and that's taking its toll on health care workers’ morale.

Doctor Ann Sheehy of U-W Health compares her work over the last year-and-a-half to running a marathon. "We're committed to taking care of people as best we can, but we all have our limits, and we all will reach a max."

Sheehy tells Madison’s 27 News it’s especially discouraging to treat COVID-19 patients who chose not to get vaccinated. Sheehy says she's trying to stay positive, but she is worried the number of patients could climb this fall and winter.
