AGENCIES, Atlanta: The Resident, a medical drama of Fox has become the guardian angel to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital, reported Deadline. After the production of the show’s third season shut down, the show donated protective medical equipment to the hospital.
This included gloves and masks which will go a long way to help the hospital in stocking up on resources which are needed to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Karen Law, a rheumatologist at the hospital took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the team’s help.
“‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To the entire team @theresidentonfox, thank you for this incredibly generous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community during #COVID19,” reads her post.
She further added, “Yesterday, I had a serious discussion with the residents about how, though supplies are low, a magical shipment of masks is unlikely to arrive. And yet, a magical shipment of masks DID arrive, in the form of this very generous gesture. This kind of community support means so much to our #frontlineproviders who are making many sacrifices to staff our hospitals and care for our community.”
Other shows which are doing such philanthropic acts are Grey’s Anatomy who are donating gowns and gloves, and Station 19 which donated N95 masks to the fire departments in Ontario City and Loz Feliz in Los Angeles, reports CNN.
