ICU Nurse Describes Heartbreak of Treating Parents of Her Daughter’s Friend

In some parts of the country, hospitalizations of COVID-19 patients are the highest they've been since the pandemic began a year and a half ago. Most of those patients are unvaccinated, and the nurses who care for them are overwhelmed and in short supply. Louisiana ICU nurse Felicia Croft says that among the patients at her hospital are the parents of her 14-year-old daughter's friend. “To know that if you can't get these two people home, that their kids will be orphaned,” Croft said in tears.
