Treating Coronavirus: A Day Inside Houston Methodist’s Highly Infectious Disease Unit (HIDU)

We spent a day inside the Highly Infectious Disease Unit (HIDU), where we are treating many COVID-19 patients from the community.
What did we see? Incredible acts of bravery, love and compassion from our entire staff. Follow their journey and see how our amazing employees are caring for our community’s most vulnerable.
This video is dedicated in loving memory to Richard Steubinger.

My Mom passed away here in Michigan in March..I thank God for her nurse she was exactly like this nurse caring for Grandpa in this video. She held my mom's hand....she sat with my mom..she talked to her. Her nurse done what we as her famiky weren't allowed to do. She told my mom that her family loves her and we want her to fight. She got to know our family over the 15 days that my Mom fought in ICU. She was literally an angel for our family. I thank her dearly.

Btw my mama is 92 years old and was diagnosed with coronavirus she is in a nursing home and was in the hospital during this time but she is back in the nursing home now and doing well but she's very down because we can't visit her except by phone and though her window it's very hard and we are very concerned about her well being we have not got to touch her or visit in almost 2 months but we are very thankful she is here .

Ah man when the nurse was talking about the 93 year old and that he had a good day and then went to hospice kinda made me tear a bit up. Everyone was living their lives fine before corona. It ain’t fair.

[@GracesLoveForMusic]

That's not true even before corona people were in hospice. And people were dying everyday life will never be fair. Yes it's very very sad but there is nothing that can be done when your time is up. Even if we did not have cronna to worry about people would still die and it would not be fair. People die of cancer car crashes / heart attacks in people sleep life would still not be fair

[@joy3203]

Gracieimhereyall17 Tupper true that people are going in hospice but not in this high rate.. people are dying everyday but not in this rate. Do not treat people’s lives as disposable. I can see we are on the other sides of this perspective but please if you acquire this mentality that dying is everywhere, this is not for those people who feel loved and has the reason to live. Your statement is true on some extent but not Covid turned our lives upside down bec it is beyond our normal and expectancy.

[@kingjeremy7995]

Drew Everett Everybody dies eventually it’s just a matter of how and when

[@megansreadingcorner]

Before corona, people died and caught diseases/viruses. More people are dying from the flu than COVID. We should be living our lives now like normal. This has gone way out of proportion. COVID isn’t as bad as people are making it out to be. It’s contagious, yes. People die from it, yes. But it only really negatively affects a certain group of people, and so does other viruses and sicknesses. Yet we carried on with our lives without a worry

The comments you have received are appalling! I hope those Haters grow-up one day. I Didn't care for this video, too emotional, too much jargon to gloss over reality. A more professional approach would have been for the nurses to explain the nature of the pathology affecting their patients and what treatment they were helping doctors to administer. That way it would have been an educational experience rather than cheap, emotional indulgence.

[@smatthews62]

This is a great "day in the life" story about how Methodist is dealing with COVID-19 with their new Highly Infectious Disease Units. After describing what Methodist is doing to create and staff these HIDUs, the story transitions about 4 minutes in to telling the story of "Grandpa" Steubinger. The story brought tears to my eyes. It also gives you some hope and a keen amount of respect for the nursing staff and the army of people behind them that are on the front lines here in Houston. It makes me proud that my own daughter, Kelsey chose the profession. Pablo Vasquez, the HIDU Nursing Leader made a great comment. "We all see it as a privilege in nursing to be with someone at their bedside as they go through that transition. It's almost like we're a midwife to the soul. Perhaps it's ironic that we're in a Labor and Delivery Unit and that we're helping that transition in someone's life." When they talked about how the nursing staff collaborates with the patients' families, because the family is not allowed to be in the hospital, the nurse tells how she was a witness to the daughter thanking "Grandpa" for being the one that brought her to believe in the Lord. If that doesn't touch you, I don't know what will.

[@shaunamcdonald1570]

Houston Methodist is the best hospital that I have ever worked for.I have been a nurse for over 15yrs. It's an awesome place to work where everyone's voice is heard. It was a privilege. Top Notch! They truly are "Leading Medicine".

They should be wearing their PPE around one another, not just the patients.

[@alphaholloway]

Don’t be ridiculous. They are more likely to catch it with ppe on than without and they are more likely to get it from the patients than from each other

[@claudiak9392]

[@ellie4329]

Yeah I agree but because of the shortness of PPE means that to get more people getting them with the patients, where they need it most, it’s not fair tho.

To be honest, this came out in early April, and guidelines and protocols throughout March and April were pretty much changing on a daily basis until it got to where we are now on my particular COVID-dedicated unit which is hospital-owned surgical scrubs, an N95 (or a PAPR) and regular face mask, a hairnet, and shoe covers 24/7. With a face shield being worn for direct patient care and of course gloves.

This was so sad these are amazing people, they looked at these people as there family, at least he had someone so nice at his bed side, she has empathy and a great heart that's what nursing is about, sitting at someone bedside especially when it's the end of life god bless that man and also his family that didn't get to hug him but they had the next best thing in that nurse

[@alizzyrivizzy5232]

Thank you for all you do, the world is so lucky and blessed to have such wonderful and caring people like these

[@shirleygorr9529]

I'm so glad that their taking care of the elderly in this time of need ,but why does it take a pandemic for people to care more bout one another.

[@tristanx3582]

Staff should probably all be masked, particularly if standing around/talking so closely like that.

[@gigibigh5057]

They are screened daily before stepping foot into the hospital.

Rest in soft peace grandpa 💔 So heartbroken for people who can’t be with their family when they pass.

[@kisakistruck4479]

Thank you to all the people who are helping us! 💓 Bless you all!

[@TGWMPE]

I am shocked that the staff are not wearing masks. They should have masks on!

[@artichoke1968]

TGWMPE they might not have it and if they do then they could be saving it for critical situations there’s something going on bts that we don’t see

[@sammiels12]

You have to remember this was over a month ago we weren't routinely wearing masks in the hospital unless we were taking care of patients in their rooms

[@sammiels12]

And the nurses are wearing Paprs to go into the covid patients rooms, those are powered air purifying respirator, in place of n95s, they are doing everything they should be in this video.

[@leojs5673]

They don't need it on everyone at all times, or else they'd run out of masks. Shut up you ignorant idiot, you'd never be able in a thousand years to match a tenth of the intelligence of any person on this staff.

[@rkngax1788]

They do not need the protective equipment until they come in direct contact with a coronavirus patient or any other patients. Each hospital is different depending on its location.

[@gregorysnigur1719]

Is there a reason 30 of them are huddled in the hospital with no masks on??

[@agsmith4713]

this might of been when rules were different it was more than 1 month ago

[@drock9009]

Well how was it different? It was here in the beginning of the year? That is an excuse! A lot of hospitals were not this relaxed while treating covid patients. I knlw seeing this some hospitals like I said is more relaxed on rules.

[@gregorysnigur1719]

Fluffy Pants You go!! You’re doing great !

[@sushiluvrluvzme]

Cause they were already very low on mask. Lots of nurses and doctors that have social talked about that they were reusing n95 mask. As of right now, im not sure cause i dont follow them. Back then i did but then i have my reasons why i stopped.

[@annegreenwood3624]

they truly are hero’s was the hardest but most rewarding part of my job being there when loved once couldn’t there hearts overflowing with love a great video

[@sean-9726]

Thank you guys so much for risking you’re lives everyday to help stop this.

[@moodrevolver]

Shouldn’t they all be wearing masks?

[@sheilacotton7566]

It looks like watching a Hollywood movie 🍿

[@NS22012]

The tears are real right now. The fact this is our reality right now. All in all thank you. Thank you for being in the front lines. Thank for every ounce of effort you put into this.

[@juliarobinson7071]

I thank these ppl❤️ and ppl just still fail to realize how serious this stuff is.

[@SuperSasha1969]

Why are they not wearing masks???

[@sammiels12]

No not negative pressure rooms, most units only have one or a handful of negative pressure rooms, they are using Paprs in place on n95s! Which is actually better, they are conserving masks, Google paprs!

[@tonyareddinger6227]

Me too I agree with you and your comments too I'm definitely not going to that hospital if they don't wear a face mask

[@Rachel-ul8et]

They may have to take a covid test everyday since they are so high risk

[@rkngax1788]

[@kingjeremy7995]

Tonya Reddinger you wouldn’t go to that unit unless you had COVID
