Their special guest today is Nurse Amy O’Sullivan. She is an old friend of Kelli’s from growing up in Baton Rouge and it was a real pleasure for them to reconnect. Amy has been a nurse for 28 years, the last 19 at the emergency room of Brooklyn’s Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. It was there in the spring of 2020, Amy treated New York City’s first Covid-19 patient. She soon became ill with a serious case of Covid herself. She spent several days on a ventilator.. As soon as she recovered she returned to the frontlines to treat thousands of others, which to this day, includes many still suffering from Covid-19. Amy and her wife, Tiffany Latz, who is also a nurse, live in Staten Island with their three daughters, Ocean, Kālī, and Summer. Amy was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people and Matell created a line of Barbie dolls honoring frontline workers and Amy is one of them!
