WORK FAMILY LIFE BUT OF COURSE
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF DALLAS DR.
TIFFANY MOON IS JOINING US THIS
MORNING TO SHARE HOW SHE DOES
IT ALL. GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR. I
AM ONE TO SEE YOU. IT'S AWESOME
TO HAVE YOU ON OUR SHOW. WHAT A
TREAT. THIS IS YOUR FIRST
SEASON ON THE REAL HOUSEWIVES
AND IT'S BEEN CRAZY. TOTAL
UNDERSTATEMENT. I MEAN YOU ARE
AN IMPRESSIVE WOMAN. GRADUATED
FROM CORNELL AT NINETEEN, WENT
TO MED SCHOOL A DOCTOR. YOU
HAVE THAT BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. SO
I WANT TO START OFF BY ASKING
YOU WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO THEN
BE ON THIS SHOW AND ADD REAL
HOUSEWIVES TO YOU KNOW THAT IS
A GOOD QUESTION. I ASKED MYSELF
THAT SAME QUESTION FROM DAVE.
THEY HAD ACTUALLY ASKED ME TO
BE ON THE SHOW IN PREVIOUS
YEARS BECAUSE ONE OF MY GOOD
FRIENDS HAS BEEN ON IT FOR FOUR
YEARS NOW AND IT JUST WASN'T
SOMETHING THAT WAS THE RIGHT
TIME THE FIRST TIME THAT SHE
ASKED ME. BUT AS I STARTED TO
EXPAND MY HOBBIES AND THINGS
OUTSIDE OF MEDICINE, I THOUGHT
YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY NOT? IT'S
NOT EVERY DAY THAT BRAVO KNOCKS
ON YOUR DOOR AND I HAVE A VERY
GOOD FRIEND WHO HAS DONE THE
SHOW AND JUST SAID THAT IT WAS
SO MUCH FUN AND OPENED UP SO
MANY DOORS FOR HER. SO I SAID
LET ME SIGN ON FOR A SEASON AND
SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND HERE I AM.
EVERYONE ELSE GETS TO SEE HOW
AWESOME YOU ARE. SO OF COURSE
IT'S QUITE A BIG DEAL THAT
YOU'RE ON THIS SHOW AND YOU
KNOW YOU HAVE THE PRODUCTION,
YOU HAVE THE GIRLS THE OTHER
HOUSEWIVES THERE BUT THEN
YOU'RE DEALING WITH COVID
DURING THIS WHOLE TIME. I MEAN
THE GIRLS ON THE SHOW THEY
APPRECIATE YOUR EXPERTIZE ONCE
SAID YOU WERE BETTER THAN
HOUSER. BUT WHAT WAS IT LIKE
FOR YOU DEALING WITH COVID
KEEPING YOUR FAMILY SAFE AND
THEN ADDING THIS PRODUCTION?
YEAH, I HAD SIGNED ON TO BE A
PART OF THE SHOW BEFORE COPAC
HIT AND THEN COVID HIT AND
EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD WAS
DELAYED AND SO MY FIRST AND
FOREMOST PRIORITY WAS TO BE A
DOCTOR. SO THIS WAS IN THE VERY
EARLY SPRING TIME OF EXACTLY
ONE YEAR AGO AND I WAS GOING
INTO THE HOSPITAL EVERY SINGLE
DAY CONTINUING TO DO
ANESTHESIA. I WAS INTUBATING
PEOPLE, TAKING PATIENTS TO THE
ICU, DEALING WITH TRAUMA
PATIENTS AND IT WAS REALLY
SCARY. I MEAN I HAVE A LOT
OF ANXIETY AT BASELINE MY
FRIENDS WHO KNOW ME THAT I TEND
TO BE AN ANXIOUS PERSON AND
THEN KOVEN AND MY ANXIETY JUST
WENT THROUGH THE LIKE EVERY DAY
I WORRIED IF I WAS GOING TO GET
SICK OR I WAS GOING TO COME
HOME AND GET MY FAMILY SICK AND
IT WAS REALLY BAD FOR SEVERAL
MONTHS. HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
HOW DID YOU MAKE SURE YOUR
FAMILY DIDN'T GET SICK? WHAT
DID YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE
FIRST WEEK THAT WE HAD
CONFIRMED COVID POSITIVE
PATIENTS AT MY HOSPITAL I WENT
AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN A HOTEL
THAT MY HUSBAND OWNS BECAUSE
WAS EMPTY ANYWAY BECAUSE NOBODY
EVERYBODY HAD CANCELED ALL
OF THEIR SPRING BREAK TRAVEL
PLANS. SO WE YOU HAVE TO THINK
BACK THEN WE KNEW SO LITTLE
ABOUT IT AND I'M INTUBATING
PEOPLE SO I'M IN THEIR AIRWAYS.
I MEAN I WAS WEARING A NINETY
FIVE MASK BUT STILL WE JUST
DIDN'T KNOW SO I THOUGHT LET ME
JUST NOT GO HOME TO MY FAMILY
THAT I WON'T GET SICK. SO I
BASICALLY SPENT A WEEK BY
MYSELF IN A HOTEL ROOM AND I
WAS SO LONELY AND SO ANXIOUS
AND IT WAS JUST SUCH AN AWFUL
EXPERIENCE AND MY HUSBAND WAS
LIKE JUST COME HOME LIKE IT'S
GOING TO BE FINE. JUST COME
HOME AND WE HAVE AN OUTDOOR
SHOWER THAT ATTACHED TO OUR
GARAGE. SO EVERY MORNING I
WOULD SIT OUT CLEAN CLOTHES AND
THEN WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK
AND PULLED INTO THE GARAGE I
WOULD GO TAKE A SHOWER IN THE
GARAGE, SHOWER, PUT ON FRESH
CLOTHES AND THEN COME INSIDE
AND HUG MY FAMILY AND WE JOKE
ABOUT IT. IT'S MOMMY
DECONTAMINATION SHOWER, YOU
KNOW, ALL THAT STUFF. YEAH. AND
I'VE SEEN THIS BEAUTIFUL
PICTURE WITH YOU AND YOUR
GIRLS. THEY'RE SO IMPORTANT TO
YOU AND YOU ACTUALLY WE'RE
STRUGGLING WITH THE IDEA
OF CUTTING BACK YOUR HOURS TO
SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM. HOW
IS THAT GOING FOR YOU? YEAH, I
HAD WANTED TO CUT BACK HOURS TO
SPEND TIME WITH THEM BEFORE
COVID BUT THEN THAT MEETING
SORT OF FELL THROUGH SO THEN IT
WAS SCHEDULED FOR DURING COVID
AND I WAS LIKE IT'S REALLY NOT
GOING TO BE A GOOD LOOK FOR ME
TO GO WHILE EXTRA PEOPLE ARE
BEING CALLED INTO THE HOSPITAL
TO HELP WITH ALL COVID POSITIVE
PATIENTS. I MEAN OUR FEE WAS
FULL AT ONE POINT AND NOW I'M
ASKING FOR TIME OFF AND MY
HUSBAND WOULD LIKE THAT'S NOT
WHAT HAPPENED. IT'S JUST BAD
TIMING. AND HE SAID HONESTLY
YOU'RE ASKING FOR ONE DAY OFF A
WEEK THAT IS NOT OUTRAGEOUS.
YOU HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN
THAT YOU WANT TO BE THERE AND
SPEND TIME FOR AND HE PUT
THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. HE IS
LIKE BABE, IT'S ONE DAY A WEEK
I THINK I THINK THEY CAN GET
YOU TO HANDLE IT AND THEN WE
ONLY HAVE LESS THAN A MINUTE
LEFT. BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT ONE OF THE GIRLS ON THE
SHOW, BRANDI. SHE HAD AN
OFFENSIVE SOCIAL MEDIA POST BUT
I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING HOW
YOU WERE ABLE TO GET PAST THAT
AND WORK WITH HER ON IT. YEAH,
I MEAN SHE SAID HERSELF THAT IT
WAS INSENSITIVE AND IGNORANT,
WHICH I AGREE WITH. BUT I
WANTED TO COME FROM A PLACE
OF KINDNESS AND GRACE AND LET
HER KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WORDS
CAN HURT PEOPLE AND I THINK SHE
GOT THAT MESSAGE AND I THINK,
YOU KNOW, SHE'S GOING THROUGH
AN INCREDIBLY PERSONAL STRUGGLE
THIS SEASON. OK, AND OF COURSE
THAT'S SUCH A BIG TOPIC THESE
DAYS. OF COURSE WE'RE TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT
OBVIOUSLY RACIST AND YOU KNOW,
ASIAN-AMERICANS RIGHT NOW BEING
TARGETED
