Hence, after graduating high school, Mirtha began pursuing a course in medicine and eventually earned her doctor’s degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. On top of that, she even has a certification in Emergency Medicine from the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
Readers will be interested to know that Mirtha enjoys an illustrious career and has been a part of several prestigious health centers and hospitals in and around New York City. In fact, a few of her notable previous workplaces include Long Island Jewish Forest Hills, Phelps Memorial Hospital Center, and South Shore University Hospital. While on the show, Mirtha mentioned that her job as a doctor of emergency medicine was highly challenging and taxing. Not only did her role require her to pay constant attention throughout her shift, but she had to keep herself mentally and physically ready in order to face any emergency that might come up. Besides, Mirtha insisted that emergencies were never planned, and in her line of work, such occurrences ended up becoming quite severe and even life-threatening for the patient. Hence, keeping calm in the face of chaos and crisis is of utmost importance.
On the other hand, apart from her job as a professional doctor, Mirtha also had to deal with anxious family members, who are often in desperate need of reassurance. Keeping patients and their families assured is the mark of a good doctor, and Mirtha appeared highly adept at her job. Her compassion and kind behavior went a long way toward her success, and the show even portrayed how her colleagues had immense respect for her.
Dr. Mirtha Macri is Now Married with Two Children
While fans might recognize Dr. Mirtha Macri from a previous Netflix docuseries titled ‘Lennox Hill,’ her fame and success helped her get featured on several other prestigious movie shows and publications. On top of it, ‘Lennox Hill’ even portrayed Mirtha’s commitment to her profession, as she stayed back in New York City during the pandemic and worked tirelessly even while awaiting her second child. She was also away from her family during this time as her husband and child were away in New Jersey.
Anyway, at present, Mirtha is happily married, and we are happy to report that she and her husband share two wonderful children. Even though the doctor prefers to keep her personal life under wraps, she still works as an Emergency Medicine specialist at several New York City hospitals, including Lenox Hill Hospital. Moreover, readers should note that while Dr. Mirtha Macri has over fifteen years of experience under her belt, she is a vocal advocate for patients dealing with financial issues and believes that healthcare should be equal for all. In fact, she mentioned that every time she dons the doctor’s uniform and works a shift, she faces an event that affects her life personally. Witnessing Mirtha’s incredible commitment is truly inspiring, and we hope success never eludes her in all her future endeavors.
