Meet Trillium Health Partners Airway Team. These specialists take on one of the most dangerous procedures when treating patients with COVID-19. Intubation requires these medical staff to get up close to very ill patients. This team selflessly put themselves directly in the line of fire.
I got to go in and check out the in-house COVID-19 test lab at Trillium Health Partners. Here is a video I shot there.
“Increased testing is vital to our combined efforts again COVID-19. Learn how THP’s Medical Laboratory is using in-house genetics expertise to do 300 COVID-19 tests per day, with results in less than 12 hours.“
A few days back I spotted this family outside of the hospital waving and talking up to someone a few floors up. I realized they were visiting a family member. Since there are no more visitors in the hospital this is what a lot of families have to do to get a face to face visit in.
”Since we’re not allowed to visit with everything that is going on, we try to go by everyday to chat through the window. Our four year old decided it would be fun to dress up in a new costume every day to put a smile on his face. It seems to be doing the trick.”
Paramedics have a tough job at the best of times. When you are the first responder to a medical call during a pandemic, the difficulty is taken to a whole new level. In spite of this they continue to selflessly step up to the plate. Absolute legends.
Images shot for Trillium Health Partners.
I shot some images for The Toronto Star. It’s been a while since I’ve had anything news related published. It was nice to shoot some images for a positive COVID-19 related story. The article can be found HERE. It’s free too, because The Toronto Star has made all of their COVID-19 related content free to access to the public. Good guy Toronto Star! Here is the image they used, as well as a few of the outtakes.
"To optimize the performance of personal protective equipment (PPE), it is important to ensure the proper donning and doffing procedures are being followed at all times."
This is one of the last projects that I worked on with Trillium Health Partners before I left for holidays at the end of February. Little did I or anyone else know how important this video would become in the coming weeks. It is pretty wild how much life has seemed to change for all of us in such a short amount of time.
Stay safe and take care!
