ST. LOUIS â Kate Miller, a nurse at SSM Health St. Maryâs Hospital, spent 12 years in intensive care units, and sheâs trained for crises with the U.S. Army Nurses Corps.
âBut the COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything I had ever seen before,â Miller said Friday during a briefing by the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force.
On her first day caring for COVID-19 patients, Miller pushed together the beds of a dying couple so they could hold hands one last time. A few weeks ago, a patient who had been talking to her daughter one night earlier was at deathâs door by the morning. Miller held the patientâs hand while her daughter said goodbye from an iPad. The woman died that afternoon, with Miller still at her side.
