Remembering medics who have died from Covid-19
Losing loved ones on the frontline, coping during 40-day lockdown and hospital chaplains.
We hear about Sophie Fagan, a nurse in London for over 50 years; Dr. J Ronald Verrier, a critical care surgeon in New York; and Vicenzo Leone, a beloved GP in Northern Italy. Their relatives talk about their enduring pride, but also the shock of losing them to Covid-19.
And hospital chaplains talk to us about the religious, spiritual and emotional support they are providing for patients and their loved ones.
Also, mothers in Spain tell us how the 40-day lockdown is emotionally impacting their children.
