I drove Dr Kelly for a few weeks when I was on light duty. She also diagnosed my heart problems and helped me get back to full duty. She is a special person and ALWAYS has our back. Hope you are still doing well. God bless you and your family. I knew Colin when!
This woman is a hero and she is right on the money with all she says. My friend who worked in the Amex building came up through the path station when the buildings collapsed. He was covered with ash. He died of Lung cancer about 5 years after 9/11. He never smoked a day in his life. Another friend who is a fireman who was there died 10 years later of pancreatic cancer. The world needs more people like Dr. Kelly.
Our eternal thanks must go to the men and women who went in to retrieve the dead and clean up the disaster. We must always hold them close to our hearts. It was a hideous job, they did day after day and hour after hour. The scars and health effects and PTSD still effects them. Such noble heroes, all of them.
As a NYC Firefighter , Dr. Kelly is a bonafide hero. Her response and attempts on Danny Suhr is all she had to do that day. That was enough. However, she did a lot more that day and we don’t forget. Continue to Rest In Peace Danny.
We don’t speak to this enough. Due to the nature and sheer number of the deaths, and the footage and documentation available… it’s easy for the focus to get stuck on that part. But the pain is felt by the living not the dead - it lasts as long as each life of each survivor and each relative. It is in the legacies then left to children and grandchildren. It is in deaths that happened quietly, in the years afterwards, that were not played on news channels over and over. Generational trauma. Grief eventually gets silenced as the world moves on. Anyone with traumatic or complex grief knows that time does NOT heal all wounds - the saying becomes trite and minimizes lived experience, that’s when grief becomes truly lonely, people are made to think they “aren’t recovering correctly” that’s when despair can set in again - it is so important to allow and champion these voices.
Thank you 🙏🏻 for your words of understanding. Especially because there are so many people who don’t understand. Even many people in the mental health profession only have a “text book” idea of how people can be traumatized - and the different ways that it can manifest in someone.
You are a thousand percent correct & people don’t realize the truths you just stated so eloquently!! Time does NOT heal all wounds, I learned that the horrific way & was eventually diagnosed with pathological grief decades after a traumatic death. It’s possible that LOVE may heal wounds in time but it also takes a LOT of WORK. Also, everything does NOT happen for a reason! We create reasons for why things happened after the fact. Thank you for your understanding.
Sadly a report came out the other day that 343 (same # on 9/11) first responders have died from 9/11 related illnessess since 9/11. May they all rest in peace.
You say you did what you could with such humbleness. You were in the right place at the right time. You made a difference that day and I thank you for your service. So many heroes that day.
What a lovely pleasant wise woman! I enjoyed listening to your story! You are a bright beautiful Light! 💫 Your work is appreciated!🕯 Blessings to you! 🙏🏽
Thank you Doc, for everything! So glad you are "still alive." Your service is legendary and has made such a difference in so many lives. You are truly an FDNY legend, who will be remembered for generations. John Norman
My Brother died from mesothelioma (the cancer that asbestos exposure causes)... His exposure to asbestos was about 30 years before his diagnosis, but his doctors asked him straight off when they had the diagnosis about his exposure to asbestos.. So there will still be cases for at least another 10 -15 years.
Not only were body parts scattered all around, but few complete bodies were found in the rubble. Uniformed Responders see these horrors all to frequently. Imagine being a construction worker finding a sneaker with a foot in it. Then the next day an arm. For anyone there, 9/11 doesn't end. Is carried with every day. A few years after 9/11 workers started finding fragments of human being on nearby roof tops. NEVER FORGET!
You are absolutely right, of course. In fact there are a number of photos that you can search for and find on the Internet a guy took shortly after WTC1 was struck that are showing literally all surfaces - including tops of cars parked around - near the Greek Orthodox church just south of the WTC complex covered in human body parts that have punched through WTC1 and, along some plane parts/landing gear and building facade steel panels, have landed there and then the same a couple of streets east from there after WTC2 had been struck minutes later and the explosion of that plane’s fuel tanks threw plane parts, building debris and human body parts out the impact hole onto the surrounding streets and tops of buildings (like Bankers Trust bldg). I’m not saying you should show that to your family but if they don’t believe you they will believe pictures even less. Some people simply cannot fathom how wicked this world really is. Peace. ☦️❤️
@@megamillionfreak woww i didn''t know about it. NOBODY Say about that. I am from Central america , but I am very interesting about what happened that day, i was 21 y in 2001.
@@bobporch Yes, I read an article about how an agency in NYC is still working to this day to identify remains. It described how one lady got a call years after 9/11 that remains of her husband had been identified. It turned out sections of his shin bones had been found on a rooftop. I don’t know why that hit me so hard. I just couldn’t deal with the physics of this man’s body being blown apart while flying through the air, such that two similar bones landed relatively close together. And the thought of the widow having to bury a pair of leg bones was (still is) just so heartbreaking.

Is she serious about the long term effects? Take responsibility for the toxic effects on the people who serve your city. You must look after your long suffering subjects.
In another interview a firefighter had mentioned that the first day or two they had used some form of mask, and within a half hour they became completely useless. I’m assuming it’s because it was so full of debris you couldn’t actually breathe through it anymore.
