A hospital housekeeper help one patient's survive COVID-19 after she encouraged him to keep fighting even though his chances of survival were slight, according to an article on the CleanLink website.
Rosaura Quinteros, an employee at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital in Orlando, Florida told Jason Denney that he was in the capable hands of doctors and that God wasn't done with his life even after a Catholic priest came to read him his last rites, according to a CNN report. She also distracted him from suffering through conversation.
Because he was infected with COVID-19, Denney couldn't receive any visitors -- he had to FaceTime his family a goodbye when it looked like he was going to die because they couldn't be there.
As a result, only healthcare workers and cleaning staff like Quinteros could have in-person interaction. Not only did Quinteros clean Denney's room, she talked and listened him back to health. Denney, 52, told CNN that Quinteros was literally saving his life through her care.
