Anxious nurse on the frontline vows ‘We’re not giving up. We hope people trust us.’

by | Mar 26, 2020

Chelsy Vanderberg’s anxieties are heightened each time she prepares for another night shift at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital, on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19 coronavirus.

“We pride ourselves on being able to help the sick, but now there’s always that ‘What if’ in the back of our minds,” Vanderberg said.  “In Italy they’re having to make heartbreaking choices of who gets to live and who gets the resources the hospital has left. I can’t imagine if it were get to the point where someone walked up to me and I had to say ‘We’re not going to treat you,’ like some health care workers in Italy have had to say.

“I can’t even fathom having to say those words.”
