Taylor Nichols, M.D., a young Jewish doctor, was confronted with an ethical dilemma in the Northern California emergency room where he works: He was called upon to treat a seriously ill patient with multiple tattooed swastikas and other hate symbols on his body. The man implored Dr. Nichols, “Don’t let me die, doc.” A heartwarming and inspiring interview — by Jewish CNN anchor John Berman — about how the physician responded is linked below.
Quote: “When we go into this job, we all know we’re going to do our best by everyone. We’re going to provide the best care to anyone who comes through our doors. It’s sort of a mantra of emergency medicine — anyone, anything, anytime. That’s what we’re here for, and we’ll continue to do that no matter what.”
