INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) This time last year, News 8 met Tyler Hoeppner. In between checking patient vitals and digging through doctors’ notes, the sports journalist turned nurse shared his story of taking on a new career.
Now, he’s sharing a different story what it’s like to be a front-line worker taking on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hoeppner with the rest of the doctors, nurses and IU Health Methodist Hospital staff was thrown into something unlike anything he’d ever seen before.
“Learning how to treat this thing? Nobody knew,” he said. “At the very beginning, it was like, if this is how it’s going to go, it’s going to be brutal because the amount of things we were doing at the pace we were doing them was just unheard of. The number of people we intubated on a shift…you just didn’t do.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The vaccination guidelines are pretty clear if you are going by age alone, but a handful of clinics in Indiana have allowed ineligible people to get the vaccine.
On Wednesday, Dr. Kristina Box, Indiana’s health commissioner, would not name or say many clinics violated state vaccine guidelines. However, the state will take the violators off the list of clinics accepting new vaccination patients.
“A lot of times it has been centered around the eligibility to a waitlist and the importance of that waitlist reflecting either the current eligibility we have opened up at the state level or those age groups that are close to that,” Box said.
