Single mother-of-two Amy Loughren, then 38, worked the night shift at her job as an ICU nurse. A natural nurturer, she loved her job. Working long hours, she spent most of her time with her co-workers.
She remembers one, Charlie Cullen, as incredibly funny – and talented.
‘Charlie was a brilliant nurse,’ she told that’s life!. ‘No-one knew more about medication.’
Unbeknown to her employers, Amy was struggling with her own health. Suffering from cardiomyopathy – heart disease – she feared losing her job if her condition caused her problems at work.
