A NSW paramedic has recounted the 'heartbreaking' incident where a son blamed himself for his single mother's struggle with COVID-19.
NSW Ambulance Inspector Joe Ibrahim appeared at the NSW COVID-19 update on Monday morning as the state recorded 1,290 new community infections and four deaths.
Mr Ibrahim arrived at a home in Western Sydney where a single mother to a son and daughter was struggling with COVID-19. “She was deteriorating when I got there, I integrated with the team and I provided her time-critical treatment but while doing so, her son made a comment to me,” he said.“That stopped me in my tracks and stopped my team in our tracks and absolutely broke our hearts.”
