Frank Gabrin worked in New York emergency rooms where, he told friends, there was a shortage of protective equipment. The hospitals denied a shortage.
Frank Gabrin, the first emergency-room doctor to die from the coronavirus in the US, had told friends before his death last week that he was worried about the lack of personal protective equipment in the hospitals he worked at and that he was ultimately infected after having to wear the same mask four days in a row.
At the time of his death, Gabrin had symptoms consistent with those of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, but he had not been tested. The American College of Emergency Physicians has described Gabrin as the first ER doctor to die of the virus. But shortages of medical equipment around the US have forced doctors to reuse them, use lower-grade masks, make their own, or work without masks entirely.
Gabrin worked in two New York-area emergency rooms: at St. John's Episcopal Hospital in Queens, and at East Orange General Hospital in New Jersey.Dr. Teddy Lee, the ER chairman at St. John's, said,"I know for one thing he wasn't speaking about a lack of PPE at St. John's."
