Natalia Wörner speaks out for hospital staff in an interview and calls for better pay for hospital staff.
Natalia Wörner (54) stands up for the hospital staff. In an interview with the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (NOZ), the actress asks: “Why are there still no concrete and already implemented forms of better pay for all people who complete a long-term marathon in the clinics are already in the situation again that they collapse under the strain? “
The 54-year-old added: “Many people in the intensive care units are quite right to say: people, we can no longer, we are so drained and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally.” It is a fact that 80 percent or more of those who are now in intensive care units are unvaccinated.
“I am extremely annoyed about it”
As an actress, she “doesn’t want to pretend that I’m making a film and then know how someone is doing. I just got the slightest idea of what the people in the clinics are doing”. The TV star continued: “But from this perspective I ask myself: How can a doctor explain it when she is the mother of two children and has to treat people every day who, for whatever reason, have this protection for themselves and them Reject community and accept that others are insanely endangered with them and through them? I am extremely angry about it. “
Wörner is also angry about politics, “that all these people are given no other appreciation or any other financial form of fairness apart from this stupid gossip in retrospect. The people are underpaid and completely drained. That is simply not acceptable to me” .
Corona drama on TV
On Monday, Wörner can be seen in the corona drama “The world stands still” (ZDF, 8:15 pm). She plays the intensive care physician Dr. Carolin Mellau, whose life is turned upside down. Carolin becomes a member of the crisis team and is on duty around the clock to prepare the clinic for the impending emergency in record time. As the anesthetist who intubates the COVID-19 infected, she bears a high risk of infection.
At the same time, Carolin’s family is up and down: her husband Stefan, who plays oboe in a chamber orchestra, has to cancel his concert tour and is no longer allowed to teach his music students. From one day to the next he sits at home with no income …
