[ANALYSIS] Parallel lives: Twin-brother ER doctors fight COVID-19
For Dennis D’Urso in Miami the harrowing tales from his twin brother Michael, an ER doctor in New York, can feel like a unsettling glimpse into his future. The ER where Dennis works is starting to fill with COVID-19 patients, but Michael’s has been deluged for weeks in what has been the hardest-hit U.S. city.
The tough days make D'Urso appreciate a unique comfort amid the relentless trauma - a sympathetic ear from his brother, an identical twin, who does the identical job in a Miami emergency room. Instead, the crisis is forging a new kind of closeness, as the brothers learn their craft on the front lines of the worst pandemic in a century.
“It was really painful,” Michael says. “I’m the one who put the tube down her throat. At the time you feel like you’re saving a life.”
