DOCUMENTARY TELLING THE STORY
OF ONE PATIENT FROM CENTRAL
INDIANA.

BLUR.
MONROE COUNTY FARMER JERRY
HALL DROVE HERSELF TO MONROE
HOSPITAL IN MARCH. WHEN SHE
STARTED SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF
COVID-19 SHE HAD NO IDEA SHE
WAS IN FOR THE FIGHT OF HER
LIFE.
I REMEMBER ASKING IF SHE
WAS GOING TO LIVE AND NE. I
REMEMBER TELLING THE FAMILY
THAT I FELT THAT SHE PROBABLY
ONLY HAD ABOUT A ONE PERCENT
CHANCE SHE WOULD MAKE IT
THROUGH THE NIGHT.
A ONE PERCENT CHANCE OF
MAKING IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
AGAINST ALL ODDS. SHE SURVIVED
THANKS TO THE DEDICATION OF
THAT DOCTOR, THE STAFF OF
MINERAL HOSPITAL SMALL
HOSPITAL WITH ONLY 32 BEDS.
THIS DOCUMENTARY CALLED TIME
THE HEEL IS OUT SHARING
JERRY'S EXPERIENCE AND HOW THE
ENTIRE HOSPITAL CAME TOGETHER
TO CARE FOR HER SO EXCITED TO
TALK ABOUT THIS GERRI AND HER
DOCTOR ERIC TRUE LADDER
JOINING ME LIVE FROM
BLOOMINGTON JERRY WANT TO
START WITH YOU AND TO SAY
