HOSPITAL HAS ALL THE LATEST
TECHNOLOGY.
AND IT WOULDN'T BE WORTH MUCH,
WITHOUT THE PEOPLE WHO
ADMINISTER IT.
"THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE THE
CREAM OF THE CROP. I OFTEN
WONDER HOW THAT WE GOT SO
BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH GOOD
PEOPLE CHOOSE TO COME TO WORK AT
THIS COVID FACILITY."
BOB
NOT JUST CHOOSE TO COME TO WORK
THERE .
. THEY RAN AND IN THE CASE OF
ONE NURSE, STILL RUN THERE TO
JOIN HER TEAM ON EVERY SHIFT.
"SOME DO, ABSOLUTELY,
ABSOLUTELY. AND I MAY HAVE SAID
I WAS CRAZY, BACK A WHILE AGO, I
DON'T KNOW." BOB
ALTHOUGH HER NAME IS LOVELY .
LIFE HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN.
WHEN SHE WAS JUST FOURTEEN, HER
MOTHER DIED OF BREAST
CANCER.
"I WAS THE OLDEST GIRL IN THE
FAMILY THERE WERE SIX KIDS
UNDER ME SO I KIND OF
NATURALLY WENT INTO THAT
CARE-PROVIDER ROLE,
FOR MY MOM, TOO."
BOB
LOVELY WAS JUST A CHILD,
HERSELF, REALLY. BUT SHE GREW
UP, QUICKLY SHE HAD TO
BECAUSE THERE WERE
THINGS SHE SIMPLY COULDN'T RUN
AWAY FROM.
"MY MOM FOUND OUT SHE HAD BREAST
CANCER AND THEN, A WEEK
LATER, SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS
PREGNANT WITH HIM. SO, HE WAS
TWO WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY. HE'S
KIND OF MY HEART CHILD."
BOB
AND THE ROAD AND A GOOD PAIR OF
RUNNING SHOES ARE HER SOLACE.
BECAUSE AFTER SHE HAD DEALT WITH
HER MOTHER'S DEATH,
THERE WAS MORE TRAGEDY AROUND
THE NEXT CORNER.
"FOUR MONTHS AGO, I HAD A NIECE
WHO TOOK HER LIFE."
16:45:52
"YEAH, GOD GIVES US THINGS, WE
FIGURE OUT HOW TO MANAGE THEM."
BOB
WHICH IS WHY THIS HAS BECOME
MORE THAN EXERCISE . IT'S
THERAPY.
"IT'S KIND OF A SPACE WHERE I
CAN PRAY, TALK TO GOD, PROCESS,
THINK ABOUT THINGS. SO, IT'S
DEFINITELY BEEN HELPFUL."
"I DON'T KNOW, AFTER A COUPLE OF
MILES, YOUR MIND STARTS
REALLY LIKE WORKING THROUGH
STUFF."
BOB
SHE'S BEGINNING TO RUB OFF HER
TEAMMATES. BETWEEN THE CODE
BLUES AND THE CODE REDS . LOVELY
HELPED CREATE, "CODE GREENS,"
WHERE SHE AND HER COWORKERS TAKE
A MOMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
SHIFT TO GET SOME EXERCISE.
"IT JUST KIND OF WAKES US UP AND
MAKES US FEEL A PART OF
SOMETHING."
BOB
AND WHEN YOUR LIFE AND WORK HAVE
SEEN FAR TOO MUCH DEATH . BEING
RUNNING TO.
BB . F8N.
KATIE
LOVELY SAYS HER MOTHER'S EARLY
DEATH - AT AGE 43 - WAS
ESSENTIAL IN
HER DESIRE TO BECOME A NURSE ...
AND SHE'S GLAD SHE DID.
NEILL
A NEW CLUSTER OF COVID-19 HAS
BEEN REPORTED AT UNC CHAPEL
