The nurses are Mindy Brock and her husband, Ben Cayer. They work as nurse anesthetists at Tampa General Hospital in Florida.
The two share a home, a profession and, now, a mission.
They are part of a team taking on the high-risk duty of placing breathing tubes in surgery patients, any of whom may have COVID-19.
Cayer says they didn't think twice about volunteering for the team, and felt honored to be asked.
