Opinion: Congress needs to pass the Dr. Lorna Breen act to support U.S. health care workers
Some people are vaguely aware of the story of Dr. Lorna Breen. Among physicians and frontline caregivers, she has become the face of health care workers overwhelmed by Covid-19.
We know her as a loving sister and sister-in-law. A dedicated emergency medicine physician. An avid snowboarder, salsa dancer, cello player, and the “cool aunt” to eight nieces and nephews. Despite the fact that there were a million reasons not to, she drove a convertible sports car in Manhattan because it made her happy. She was known for her cheery attitude and her dedication to improve the health care experience for patients.
