This Brooklyn emergency room doctor saved lives amid the COVID crisis. But she never recovered from the infection herself, her sister says. And now she needs a hero.
"She was a mentor that led me, and all of us, through our training in emergency medicine," said Dr. Pardeep Thandi, a fellow emergency physician."It was very scary, none of us had ever seen anything like this...[McTeer] was there every single day putting herself, her family, her friends at risk," said Dr. Thandi."We're In Disaster Mode."
That included Dr. McTeer, who would be infected two months later. Her sister said that she was working at the time, and collapsed. Unlike many, the then-38-year-old doctor never recovered, despite being otherwise healthy beforehand. New York City Mayor Eric Adams along with NYC Health + Hospitals have opened three COVID-19 Centers of Excellence located in the hardest-hit communities in the pandemic. NBC New York's Linda Gaudino sits down with Dr. Ted Long on the services available for long haul patients.
