Hospitals Tell Doctors They’ll Be Fired If They Speak Out About Lack of Gear

The ask in this context seems to be simple - adequate PPE while treating a highly infectious virus.

Evidence from Spain suggests medical professionals on the frontline are at very high risk.

maybe you can share why you think it is unfair on the hospitals in this case ?

I'm not the OP but I have read a bit about how "adequate PPE" can be controversial.

It really boils down to how long certain ppe can be used, what is the risk of infection from reused ppe and how to sanitize ppe effectively.

I'll leave the dispute over the facts to the experts but from my understanding that is the source of the conflict over ppe.
