David remonta o seu problema a cinco anos antes, quando um ano de tratamentos de imunoterapia para um melanoma metast\u00e1tico o deixou com insufici\u00eancia suprarrenal. A doen\u00e7a reduz a sua capacidade de combater as doen\u00e7as porque as gl\u00e2ndulas supra-renais n\u00e3o conseguem produzir cortisol, que reduz a inflama\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A COVID manteve David em casa durante uma semana antes de ele se sentir suficientemente bem para retomar as suas fun\u00e7\u00f5es de vice-presidente da Banco de Poupan\u00e7a do Condado de Bristol<\/a>. Mas ap\u00f3s uma semana de regresso ao escrit\u00f3rio, David come\u00e7ou a sofrer de fadiga, fraqueza, febre e dores no corpo. Com n\u00e1useas e tonturas, desmaiou no ch\u00e3o da casa de banho e ficou sem saber onde estava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Estava t\u00e3o assustada\", disse a sua mulher, Ann McCrillis Tipping, que decidiu chamar uma ambul\u00e2ncia - apesar da resist\u00eancia do marido, que insistia que estava bem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"T\u00eam de compreender que, normalmente, sou uma pessoa independente, en\u00e9rgica e com for\u00e7a de vontade\", disse David. \"Nunca passei por algo assim na minha vida e espero n\u00e3o voltar a passar.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partir do momento em que a ambul\u00e2ncia chegou \u00e0 casa do casal em Bourne, Ann sentiu que estavam em boas m\u00e3os, embora tenha ficado preocupada quando os param\u00e9dicos disseram que iam levar David para a Servi\u00e7o de Urg\u00eancia do Hospital Tobey.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nunca t\u00ednhamos estado em Tobey antes, por isso estava um pouco nervosa\", disse ela. \"Mas os param\u00e9dicos foram \u00f3ptimos. Quando a ambul\u00e2ncia chegou ao hospital, uma enfermeira estava \u00e0 nossa espera e, a partir da\u00ed, tudo correu bem.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O principal receio de Ann era que o complicado historial m\u00e9dico do marido, que se desenvolveu sobretudo nos hospitais de Boston, fosse desconhecido dos prestadores de cuidados de sa\u00fade de Tobey. Ficou aliviada ao ver que eles podiam aceder a todo o seu historial de cuidados atrav\u00e9s do Epic, o sistema de registos de sa\u00fade electr\u00f3nicos utilizado pelos hospitais de todo o pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os exames revelaram que David tinha uma infe\u00e7\u00e3o do trato urin\u00e1rio e sofria de s\u00e9psis grave, uma doen\u00e7a potencialmente fatal que envolve uma resposta demasiado agressiva \u00e0 infe\u00e7\u00e3o que impede os \u00f3rg\u00e3os do corpo de funcionarem corretamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Perguntei ao m\u00e9dico das urg\u00eancias Dra. Michele Grossman <\/a>para nos dizer exatamente o que queria dizer\", disse Ann. \"Eu n\u00e3o queria ouvir conversa de m\u00e9dico; queria que ela falasse claramente. Ela disse: 'Ele est\u00e1 gravemente doente e estamos a tomar medidas para lhe salvar a vida'. Isso deu-nos uma melhor compreens\u00e3o do que estava a acontecer exatamente\".\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David ficou suficientemente estabilizado no Servi\u00e7o de Urg\u00eancia para ser transferido para a Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos, onde passou tr\u00eas dias. Depois de mais tr\u00eas dias num piso geral, foi-lhe dada autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o para regressar a casa. Tr\u00eas semanas depois, regressou ao trabalho e, com a melhoria do tempo, espera agora um ver\u00e3o de caiaque, pesca e outras actividades aqu\u00e1ticas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Toda a gente - os param\u00e9dicos, as enfermeiras, os t\u00e9cnicos, o Dr. Grossman e o m\u00e9dico assistente, Dr. Ajith Matthew - foram fant\u00e1sticos\", disse David. \"Estiveram atentos e responderam \u00e0s perguntas. Gra\u00e7as ao seu trabalho de equipa e coopera\u00e7\u00e3o, diagnosticaram rapidamente o meu problema. A Epic permitiu-lhes aceder ao meu historial m\u00e9dico. N\u00e3o posso dizer o suficiente.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann tamb\u00e9m gostou do facto de o Tobey Hospital estar pr\u00f3ximo. \"Voltaremos de certeza ao Tobey se precisarmos de cuidados hospitalares. Eu diria certamente a qualquer pessoa para ir ao Hospital Tobey. Todas as pessoas envolvidas nos cuidados do Dave foram excelentes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
