By: Leslie Lopez According to CNN Dr.Taylor Nichols does his best to do his job when he is faced with hate. He is a Jewish physician and faced a challenge with a Covid-19 patient. A patient arrived in an ambulance and Dr.Nichols saw that their skin was covered in Nazi tattoos. The patient told Dr.Nichols to not let him die. Nichols and his team rushed to help the patient risking themselves getting exposed to the virus. He hesitated when he started to think if the roles were reversed would have the man help him. Nichols said that his main focus was to help the patient to the best of his abilities instead of judging. Even though the symbol did challenge him he tried to look past it. The doctor says that he was hit with a wave of mixed emotions when seeing the patient partly because of the stress during the pandemic. He says that the low ICU capacity has made keeping the patients and themselves safe more difficult. Another thing that makes it harder for Dr.Nichols is knowing that there is almost a vaccine and every death right now is “that much more heartbreaking.” Dr.Nichols is glad that he got a wake up call with worries about his colleagues mental health. He told CNN that it was the first time he has ever hesitated to help a patient. Dr.Nichols works in Sacramento, California and is associated with many hospitals in the area. He has also been practicing medicine for about four years according to the U.S. News.
