A doctor in Alabama described in a Sunday post on Facebook how she has to inform unvaccinated COVID-19 patients begging for the vaccine that it was too late for the shots before she performs intubation.
Dr. Brytney Cobia, who works at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, wrote: “I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections. One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.”
Dr. Cobia spoke with AL.com in an interview published on Monday. In it, she said of all her patients being treated for COVID-19 related illnesses, only one person had been vaccinated. That patient needed oxygen but is expected to fully recover, she said.
However, some of the unvaccinated ones are dying, which is why she took to Facebook to share her story and encourage anyone who is hesitant to get the vaccine.
