“I had the same worries that every healthcare provider had, which was one, am I going to infect myself? But more importantly, am I going to infect my family?” Tiffany Osborn said.
Dr. Tiffany Osborn, BJC, has taken an extreme measure to protect her family from the coronavirus. She bought a camper to live in to keep herself isolated.
Osborn is an ER and ICU doctor who has lived in her RV for the past year. She said it was a decision she and her family made to stop the disease from entering their home.
Osborn said she would work three weeks in a row without days off, so she could be isolated for a few days, tested and see her family just a few days before going back to the hospital.
Now, after a whole year, she is finally reunited with her family. “It took a while to get over, but once I got back in, it was fantastic,” Osborn said. “I mean, it was great to have the opportunity to be together again on a constant basis.”
Osborne said it would not be possible to be with her family again without the COVID-19 vaccine. She said the only way to be normal again is to get those shots.
