As COVID hospitalizations are surging around the country, health care workers are feeling even more physical and emotional stress.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is trying a unique way to relieve some of that strain.
Nine months into the pandemic and with the next wave overwhelming hospitals, therapist and associate professor Dr. Kenneth Yeager said health care workers are simply fatigued.
“We re having both physical exhaustion, and we re having emotional exhaustion. That s the big challenge. When, emotionally, you are giving so much of yourself, that it is really difficult to find energy to keep moving forward,” he said.
