Metro columnist Sharon Grigsby writes:
When Gina Mullen's
husband, Jim, said he wanted to pack a bag to go nurse some of the sickest
victims of COVID-19 during the dead of night in the hardest-hit city in
America, she didn’t invoke her marriage veto privilege.
Gina, an emergency room doctor in Dallas, was already on the front line of the
coronavirus fight, when Jim, an emergency room nurse for five years before
beginning his law career in 2015, told her that he couldn’t live
with himself if he didn’t respond.
"I had this skill that would let me help people, but I wasn’t putting it
to any use," he recalls telling her. "And more and more people were
dying. … I felt I had an obligation to go do it."
