A Michigan doctor says some COVID-19 patients continue to deny their diagnosis or denounce vaccines from their deathbeds.

Trunsky told The Washington Post medical staff have at times been berated by patients and their family members.

He said over 100 of his patients have died from the coronavirus and 9 out of 10 COVID patients are unvaccinated. .

Despite his frustrations, Trunsky said he remains dedicated to giving all his patients, unvaccinated or not, the same level of care. .

Kristin Jacob, director of the wellness program at Grand Rapids-based Spectrum Health, told Bridge it's normal for doctors to feel frustrated with patients not taking advantage of a vaccine "that can help end the pandemic."
