along with the worry one of the hardest
things for family members of kovat 19
patients is the isolation absolutely no
one is allowed in hospitals so any
loving family contact has to be done
virtually another mask on top of this
with a face shield this Kovach 19
survivor is proving there is hope for
all victims of the pandemic Paul
Saunders is a doctor and he's now
returning to work on the front lines at
Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn
one of the most difficult things was not
being able to be you know at work
helping out my colleagues and helping
out our team and you feel like you're
letting people down by not being at work
and not contributing so I was I was
actually very lucky very lucky to
recover quickly and happy able to get
back into the hospital get back to work
former marathon runner David Blatt is
also inspiring hope he spent six
agonizing days on a ventilator but is
now recovering
I had great care I had great doctors and
nurses and I had a lot of support from
family and friends that was able to
speak with Inside Edition for just a few
minutes because he remains exhausted
from his ordeal what was it like being
on a ventilator I actually don't really
remember it it was like six days carved
out of my life
