The author reflects on psychological impact of COVID-19 on frontline healthcare workers. Topics discussed include stressors faced by healthcare staff and the importance of recognition and support in maintaining well-being; implications of shouldering this unsustainable burden can include burnout and ultimately staff attrition and strongly associated with mental illnesses such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
