“I had the same concerns that every healthcare provider had, and that was one: am I going to infect myself? But more importantly, am I going to infect my family?” Tiffany Osborn said.
BJC Doctor Tiffany Osborn has taken an extreme measure to protect her family from the coronavirus, buying a motor home to live in to keep herself isolated.
Osborn is an emergency room doctor and an ICU doctor who has lived in her RV for the past year. She said it was a decision she and her family made to keep the disease from entering their home.
Osborn said she would work three consecutive weeks with no days off so she could isolate for a few days, get tested, and see her family for just a few days before returning to the hospital.
Now, after a whole year, she is finally fully reunited with her family. “It took a while for the transition, but when I got back into it it was fantastic,” said Osborn. “I mean, it was great to have the chance to really get back together on a consistent basis.”
Osborne said it wouldn’t have been possible to be with her family again without the COVID-19 vaccine. She said the only way we can get back to normal is to take those pictures.
