Episode 21: The Realities of COVID
Episode 21
Friday, 6 November, 2020

Guest: Jamie Anaya Today, I talk with Jamie Anaya… Respiratory Therapist Badass. Jamie has spent most of 2020 working in the COVID unit at a local hospital and has spent most of this time treating dying COVID patients. Today Jamie shares her experience of working fourteen hour days, four to five days a week, in full PPE as well as what the reality of COVID looks like from a healthcare worker perspective. She also shares what the death of COVID patients has been like for her and the sad reality that most of these patients die without any of their loved ones by their side. CAUTION: This episode is sure to pull on your heart strings and might even make you cry. I know I had a hard time not choking up as Jamie shared these experiences with me… which I recorded for you! COVID is real and the effects of it are not only felt by the infected patients, but also the healthcare heroes who are trying to save them. If you have a show idea or a topic suggestion, or if you know someone who was a patient that would make an amazing guest, please reach out to me via email at emergeeducationsolutions@gmail.com.
