The Mother Of It All

Pandemic Parents, 5 Years Later: The doctor who was pregnant in 2020

“I remember the bizarre feeling of my baby kicking inside me while taking care of patients dying of COVID in the hospital.”

Brett was a doctor in a small town when the pandemic hit, with a toddler at home and a baby on the way. In this episode, she and Miranda (who are childhood friends) talk through her experience as a parent, spouse, and physician during those intense years, and the way they continue to impact her and her family five years later. Also, we agree that a cold juice box actually does cure a lot of things, it’s just a fact.
