After spending nearly 50 days in the hospital with COVID-19 and complications from the virus, a New Jersey police sergeant is on the road to recovery.
This week, 47-year-old Frank Talarico walked the halls of Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden looking much different than he did the last time hospital staff saw him.Doctors and nurses recall a time when they weren't sure Talarico would survive. It all began on Christmas Eve of 2021.
Talarico was not vaccinated for COVID-19. He cited concerns over the speed at which the vaccine was produced and its safety. "She knew right away," he said."She said 'You have a blood clot. We have to go back to the hospital.'" When Broudy helped removed the blood clot, doctors discovered it was cumulatively about a foot long. It had been blocking circulation to Talarico's right lung.Schwika put Talarico on dialysis during his second visit due to worries over kidney failure as Talarico was on life support.
