out of equipment,

please come
help us in New York now.

All hospitals have to increase
their capacity by 50% and try

to increase

Yeah.

NATHALIE: Oh, my goodness.

DOCTOR: We've seen
this happen a lot.

We can make his
kidneys better,

we can make his brain better,
but if he can't ventilate,

he will never
get a transplant.

NATHALIE (off‐screen): When you
are struggling to take a breath,

every second feels
like an eternity,

every minute
seems like forever.

That is the look that I
see multiple times a day.

He was positive.

He's been negative
three times since.

NATHALIE: Yeah.

NURSE: It's still precautions.

NATHALIE: Oh, my goodness.

NATHALIE (off‐screen): The
majority of my patients are

Black, Hispanic, or immigrant.

And being born in the
Bronx from Haitian parents,

I'm not that far removed
from a lot of my patients.

And every time you see the
patient you can't help but say,

"Damn, this can
easily be my mom."

It's tough to see your people
constantly have to suffer.

you are out of breath?

him, I see those little kids and

I just, like, I
needed him to do well.

BERNADETTE: Yeah.

KELLIE: He said, "I'm so young
and I have a young family.

Please don't let me die."

He has two little
kids like I do,

and so I just wanted
to see him do well,

I don't know.

I just, every day we go home
and I think about how I might

be bringing this home to my
own husband and how that could

have been him, and so I just
wanted to see him do well.

go down a dark path.

What am I going to do
