Ocala nurse desperately needs lung transplant after contracting COVID-19 at work
OCALA, Fla. - A 56-year-old nurse is fighting for her life in the hospital after getting coronavirus. While she's the one usually caring for patients, she now needs the help of others.
Monroe is a longtime nurse in Ocala who works at a senior living facility.
Mcfarland says many hospitals denied her mother the help she needs because shes considered high-risk.
We asked, "What is it that you need for your mom?" Mcfarland replied, "She needs lungs. She needs lungs. And she needs for a doctor to take the risk, even if she does not make it through the surgery. At least we tried. We need someone thats willing to take the risk because everybody is telling us no and I know theres somebody out there, somebody out there will tell us yes."
