An emergency doctor has opened up in a video diary about the pressures still facing frontline staff as coronavirus cases and admissions begin to fall.
Dr Amber Woodcock, 35, who has worked as an emergency doctor at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) for seven years, told of the apprehension faced by staff working in the naturally unpredictable accident and emergency department.
Following record number of Covid patients in January, the county s hospitals are beginning to see fewer coronavirus patients, but the doctor said there was anxiety it could go back to square one if people became slack and did not follow the rules.
She was not allowed anything to eat and was extremely dehydrated. Skye also could not feel her legs properly and there were pains in them so quite a few doctors and nurses were around at the time to massage and calm her to get her in a stable condition.
Having recovered, Miss Harper said her daughter has taken it in her stride and she is now running every day until May 7 for JDRF s 100 Challenge to mark 100 years since insulin was first discovered by Frederick Banting and his laboratory partners.

Mark Laws is aiming to run and cycle between the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) where Jamie Robinson of Wisbech stayed, and Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United FC who Jamie supported.
