Fort Worth Medical Students Share COVID-19 Experiences: “I’ve Seen Both Sides of the Spectrum.”

FORT WORTH – As TCU continues to stay vigilant in its public health efforts to provide a safe campus for students in the Spring 2022 semester, TCU School of Medicine students are doing their part by sharing their clinical experiences with other students on campus.

The medical school’s video series is part of TCU’s ‘Protect the Purple’ campaign. The videos feature third-year medical students Brandon Mallory and Quinn Losefsky, along with second-year medical student Sam Sayed.

Brandon was working with his OB-GYN preceptor and taking care of a pregnant woman who was diagnosed with COVID-19.

“We were able to deliver the baby and all that,” he said. “But the mom just kept getting sicker and sicker and sicker.”
