It's the job of doctors and nurses to heal their patients.

That is a given.

But sometimes, it works in reverse.

Here's cbs's meg oliver.

Last month david vargas was hospitalized for the covid related inflammatory syndrome that has been striking children.

Vargas: these people with you know masks and gown and gloves come into your room//you can't even see their face.

It's it's really strange.

But.

I found a way to/.

To endure it //with the things that i love to do.

Vargas loves to draw.

He found his subject matter at his bedside - doctors and nurses under layers of ppe.

It made me feel that.

It made me feel seen in a way that i hadn't experienced because i'm wearing so much ppe, doctor elana siegel is a pediatric resident with mount sinai health system.

I just want to pull down my mask and say, this is my face, this is who i am.

I'm taking care of you.

And i'm not able to do that.

And it feels impersonal.

And seeing that he.

Took that and ran with it and made something completely beautiful out of that was very rewarding doctor siegel even has a namesake..

A seagull she calls it her spirit animal.

1500 what i what i found so funny is that everyone said, you know, he didn't even have to write siegal on it.

They could tell it was me just by the way, i held my body and my arms it was a very elana siegel pose.

0845 dr. siegel was so blown away, by the way, that you drew her with all of her protective gear on.

She feels that you brought her alive under all of it.

Vargas i'm really happy that, you know, she sees the life.

In that picture, and i'm happy that it put a smile on her face, a picture worth smiling about.

The particles in the air over new orleans& made the big easy look like ámore likeá the "bi hazy."

All that dust brought a murky saturday... to dallas.

Meteorologists say this round of the dust storm will weaken by monday with some dust lingering in the southeast but there's a second round of dust moving into the caribbean now and it too will make its way to the u-s.

"the sky is jus going to get very hazy, most of the dust exists from a few thousand feet up to about 18 to 20 thousand feet // "that wil probably make for vibrant sunrises and sunsets."

The hues are likely... to be more orange..
