"America's health care workers are on the brink of collapse. If we want them to hold on and be there for us when we are too sick to walk, stand or breathe, we must act now.

Cast aside political opinions. Follow CDC guidelines. Wear masks when you are in a group of people. Remain properly vaccinated. Maintain social distances. And please extend extra consideration to health care workers.

Is that too much to ask to do for someone trying to save your life or the life of your loved one?"

Julie Collins is a cardiovascular perfusionist.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Support desperate health care workers now, before your life counts on them."
