Heartbreaking Photo Shows ‘Hand of God’ Created by Nurse For Covid Patients Suffering in Isolation
This is heartbreaking.
A Brazilian nurse created a contraption made of disposable gloves filled with warm water to simulate human contact for Covid patients suffering in isolation dubbed, “The Hand of God.”
Newsweek reported:
Brazilian nurse technician Semei Araújo Cunha posted her glove contraption to her social media accounts on March 20, according to a report from G1 São Carlos and Araraquara. Using the “little glove” technique created by Lidiane Melo, Cunha filled two latex gloves with warm water, tied the tips of the fingers together and slid a patient’s hand through.
The project is twofold, as it both quickly warms the extremities of intubated patients as well grants comfort in what feels like another human holding their hand.
