CrossFit athlete and real-life gay superhero Robbie Rodriguez( a.k.a. Rhino Robbie) recently appeared on NBC’s Titan Games, where he talked honestly about being lesbian, being out, and being a frontline nurse in Florida during the coronavirus pandemic.

Rodriguez chiefly treats testing patients who come into the Miami hospital where he works.

“A lot of the other wet-nurses have genealogies and kids, and were more worried about being uncovered, ” he explained. “I don’t have girls, so I’d often voluntary to[ administer measures ]. ”

The competition portion of Rodriguez’s Titan Games episode was filmed back in January, before the pandemic had reached the United Mood. Since then, he says his hospital has become inundated with COVID-1 9 patients.

“Last Friday I wreaked, and we learnt 89 patients, ” he said. “That’s jolly frenetic for four nurses and two doctors.”

Rodriguez continued, “The biggest challenge has just been dealing with everyone’s questions or concerns because everyone has the same concern. They come in scared.”

“Reassuring them has been the biggest challenge. To comfort those who are more anxious than myself.”

Rodriguez added that the style he gets through the long eras and darkness is by working out beforehand and devouring plentiful quantities of caffeine.

“How do I have the energy to teach so hard after a 12 -hour shift? Um, a good pre-workout. And coffee, ” he joked.
