When she was asked if it was too soon to go back to work, she responded by saying that it is essential for life to continue. She added that it's up to us to move forward and keep going despite the circumstances. According to her, that's what Derek would have wanted her to do.

During her interview, Garraway also showed her appreciation and respect for caregivers.

Our medical profession is filled with incredibly talented and skilled individuals. However, we must implement a new system that provides support and care beyond just life-threatening moments. There is so much more that takes place outside of those critical moments and we need to address those factors as well.

In my opinion, those who are currently in a position of providing care for others will understand two key aspects. Firstly, they will be familiar with the immense difficulty involved in caring for someone. However, they will also recognize it as an honorable and fulfilling role. Personally, I feel a strong desire to be caring for someone today.

It's an amazing feeling to serve as the barrier between the world and any potential threats.
