While death seems far away for most young people, Michaela Bayer and Sara Loy are surrounded by it every day. You work in the palliative care ward at the Großhadern Clinic. With their Instagram channel, they want to remove the taboo on the subject in society.
Sara Loy looks a little tired, even if she denies it. The 28-year-old has just finished a night shift, caring for patients between 10.30 p.m. and 7 a.m. It was a quiet night. None of her patients died. She doesn’t know whether that will be the case today, because death is the order of the day in her job. Together with Michaela Bayer, 27, she has been working as a nurse on Ward L 23 of the Großhadern Clinic for five years. L 23, that is the palliative care ward – for many the last station of their lives. The patients lying here cannot be cured. There is no more fulfilling job for Sara and Michaela. And they have set themselves a task. They want to remove the taboo on work with death. With a channel on Instagram.
