States are recruiting medical students and retired doctors to help fight COVID-19. Dr. Nan Cochran shares her advice and worries with her daughter, Josie Fisher, who is beginning her residency.
The need for medical care workers to help on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic has grown increasingly urgent. States are calling on retired doctors and nurses to return to work despite the risks. Several medical schools are graduating students early so they can begin their hospital residencies. Here is one of those students.
NAN COCHRAN: My name is Nan Cochran. I'm Josie's mother. And I am retired from my clinical practice at the White River Junction VA Medical Center. COCHRAN: I won't lie. I couldn't sleep the first night I heard you might start early - try not to cry. I'm excited that you're going to be able to work where you are because I have faith that they're going to provide you with adequate protection because that's my biggest fear for anybody who is face-to-face with COVID-positive patients, not just health care workers.
FISHER: I mean, this is an unprecedented moment in at least 100 years of history. So I can't pretend that anything makes me feel that I've done anything similar to what we're doing now. But I would say I feel that you and Dad really modeled, from a young age, to your kids that, you know, one of our responsibilities was try to go make the world better in some way and do the hard thing. And you showed us kind of how to work really hard while also maintaining some balance in life.
FISHER: It's interesting to think about what it was, like, you know, almost - basically 40 years ago when you started residency, when you were in my shoes.
