I've been working with the NHS since 2018.

And I was a pregnant doctor working during the pandemic at the time.

it's very important we bring the truth out.

There have been a lot of errors during the pandemic,

When the pandemic happened earlier this year,

I saw it go through all the different countries,

and a part of me believed that our country will be prepared.

We're a leading country in a lot of areas,

especially in the field of science and medicine.

So I thought nothing could go wrong in Great Britain.

I had faith that they would protect doctors and healthcare workers

They're not showing us how many healthcare workers

They're not showing us how many domestic cleaners have died.

I am not allowed to speak to anybody in the media.

When the first healthcare worker died, they died in a Covid ward.

and the only way they could have been infected was if

To date, we have 620 healthcare workers who've died.

I didn't know what I was exposing myself to or my unborn child to.

I would have never been able to forgive myself.

I asked to be changed to a different department.

because there wasn't enough evidence to show that pregnant women

won't be at any risk or neither would the unborn child.

And this is why I realized that not only am I being silenced,

my own managers were following my social media.

They were tracking everything I was saying, everything I was doing.

And I was also told that if I didn't show up to my long shifts,

They don't know I'm coming today because they have told me that

I have to go through them if I want to speak to any media.

These are the people who are trying to create a sort of propaganda.

They're putting out these briefings in the hospital

and posters saying, “We've had this many patients who are Covid-positive

They're all just yes-men to the government,

If, as doctors, we're being silenced in our own hospitals,

I mean, these are the kind of things that we would see in

This is happening within our own country.

As a doctor, I was working during the pandemic until April.

So January, February, March, April, these four months,

I had to look at my own protection or the patient.

And every single day, the guidelines were changing.

One day we were told the full gown was OK.

The next day we were told that a plastic apron is OK.

A pinny was good enough to protect ourselves from a deadly virus.

We knew that all of these changes in the guidelines

because they just didn't have the right amount of PPE.

If I went in to a patient who was Covid-positive

and he coughed in between the consultation, then what?

Last year in July, when they did a full investigation into

there were so many manufacturers who had the PPE that we required.

But our government decided to order PPE from Burma, from Turkey.

And when they came, they were also faulty.

When we looked into the PPE the government had,

and seeing that the expiry date had a sticker replaced on top of it,

I think the biggest issue now is how can we help healthcare workers

because this pandemic has taken a huge psychological toll
