A beloved Brooklyn school teacher died from COVID-19 complications after she was initially denied coronavirus tests, her family said. “I just feel like the health care system failed her on so many levels,” her sister, a veteran nurse said.
The veteran nurse said she's bitter, feeling let down by the industry she's worked in for two decades.
"As her family has shared, Rana’s battle with COVID-19, is a painful example of the disproportionate impact COVID-19 is having on African American and LatinX families across the country. Racial and gender disparities in healthcare are a moral and systemic failure. We can and must do better."The teacher first went to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center in Brooklyn on March 15, and was told she couldn't have a coronavirus test, according to Mia Mungin.
“She said to me, ‘Mia, they still don’t want to test for me this virus,' ” Mia Mungin recalled her sister saying. “He keeps telling me that my lungs are clear even though I'm still short of breath.” “They intubated her in the ambulance,” Mia Mungin said. “They told us she was intubated and the sickest in the hospital and that we need to be prayerful.”
