The Survivor: Frank Arredondo
from The Stubborn Tortoise · host Donna Pazdera
Frank Arredondo is a friend of mine from the Rio Grande Valley. He is a pharmacist and became one of the first people to be hospitalized with COVID-19. He is doing great now, but he was on a ventilator for 10 days and given some experimental drugs. He was more or less of a guinea pig for doctors in the early days of the pandemic. Frank recounts his gripping story, including the bravery and tenacity of his wife, Tyra Greene, who kept a journal that launched them into the national headlines. His story is one to be appreciated regardless of where you are on the pandemic spectrum.
