In the midst of a pandemic that has paralyzed the world, a team of CBS News journalists embedded with emergency physicians and critical care specialists struggling to save patients suffering from COVID-19 in “Bravery and Hope: 7 Days on the Front Line,” a one-hour, primetime special set at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. The special will air Friday, May 15 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
“Bravery and Hope: 7 Days on the Front Line” goes to the floors of the largest hospital in the hardest-hit borough of New York City. Montefiore Medical Center’s Moses Campus was bursting with nearly 700 patients, 80% of whom were diagnosed with COVID-19.
A CBS News team, clad in protective equipment, spent seven days in the emergency department and intensive care units following physicians as they urgently placed patients on breathing machines and resuscitated others suffering cardiac failure.
