'They died alone'Recalling her days at the Saint-Luc clinic in Brussels, she explains that she questioned her choice of profession when the first coronavirus wave hit in early 2020."Psychologically, it was really hard, to work in quarantine wards, to fight all the time just to have facemasks.
We put our health and that of our families at risk. And those patients weren't allowed any visitors. They were all alone, they died alone...

And when we did everything quickly, we did it badly... It was insufferable," she says.Day by day, turning up at the hospital became increasingly difficult to contemplate.
