Lisa Stevens heads to her office for the first time since beating COVID-19. "This is the day I have been waiting over two weeks for," said Stevens. |
Stevens's calendar is already one month ahead. "It's kind of a running joke between my colleagues and me. We really thought I wouldn't be back until July," said Stevens. |
Lisa Stevens, an x-ray technician, returns to work after beating Coronavirus. "I still don't feel 100%," said Stevens. |
Stevens gears up to treat a COVID-19 patient. She is required to wear goggles and two masks when taking care of infected patients. |
Several bottles of hand sanitizer sit on Stevens's desk now. She says she even keeps one in her lab coat at all times. |
In addition to beating Coronavirus, Lisa is also getting over a broken right foot. This is also her first day out of a boot. |
The x-ray technician answers her first call of the day. She and the caller are discussing COVID-19 protocols. |
In addition to the new containers of wipes, she's kept the leftover disinfectant from old ones, too. |
Steven's office starts to fill up with several containers of disinfectant wipes. "You can never have too much of these," said Stevens. |
Stevens and one of her colleagues prepare an examination room together before her next patient arrives. |
Stevens checks the monitors to make sure everything is running smoothly. "I've really missed taking care of patients," says Stevens. |
Stevens starts every shift by putting on a fresh, new face mask. Masks are required here at Tanner Medical Center. |
