'She tried to do her job and it killed her,' Dr. Lorna Breen's father said of the 49-year-old doctor, who contracted the coronavirus. His daughter was a hero, Dr. Philip Breen says.
As the COVID-19 pandemic besieged New York City, Dr. Lorna Breen was on the front lines, striving to slow the onslaught of critically ill patients that have made the city the center of the outbreak in the U.S.
"She tried to do her job and it killed her," Dr. Philip Breen, who is also a doctor, said about his daughterAlthough Breen had recovered from the coronavirus and returned to work after about a week and half, the 49-year-old was sent back home by hospital officials. That's when her father says the family intervened, taking her to Charlottesville, Va.
"Make sure she's praised as a hero, because she was. She's a casualty just as much as anyone else who has died," he said. "Personal Protective Equipment can reduce the likelihood of being infected, but what they cannot protect heroes like Dr. Lorna Breen, or our first responders against is the emotional and mental devastation caused by this disease," Brackney added.
