The First Wave - Trailer | National Geographic

I have to keep it together. I have kids who can't see me fall apart. He has to come home; he has no choice. I just let my fear be my strength because I know one day I'm gonna be with my wife and my baby.

It is because of you that we are gonna make it through. You are more than just a doctor; you do it from the heart. Every time you see the covetation, you can't help but say, "Damn, this can easily be my mom." Each one is getting harder and harder.

It's tough to see people constantly have to suffer. When we started chanting, I literally felt like my breath was stripped away. I also heard all the times my patients said, "I can't breathe."

"I have a pulse. I have a pulse right here. Pulse, pulse, pulse." What we've been doing here over the last number of weeks is extraordinary and special.

And you are fearful; you are stressed. But you raise the bar each and every day that you get up and come to work. We weren't made for this, but I think this made us.

I'm tired of seeing people like you in the hospital. Your family cares about you. You got people who care about you. [Music] You.
