From New Jersey-The sister of actor Matthew Broderick, who until last spring was a church pastor in Morristown, says being related to a celebrity got her special attention during her near-fatal bout with coronavirus at a California hospital.
“I
think I’m absolute living proof that this system is completely
corrupt,” the told New York Magazine.
Rev. Janet Broderick, rector of All Saints Episcopal
Church in Beverly Hills,
The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles
announced May 11 that Broderick, 64, had coronavirus and was being
treated for a “severe form of pneumonia" at Cedars Sinai Medical Center
in Beverly Hills, and had tested positive for coronavirus.
In
the magazine interview, she was asked if she received “preferential
treatment being a religious leader and Matthew Broderick’s sister."
“Yes, but I feel evil for saying that," Broderick replied.
“My
GP (general practitioner) didn’t know I was Matthew Broderick’s sister
and didn’t care very much. As soon as I got ahold of the guy at the
hospital who knew who Matthew was, I was given the name of the head of
the emergency room," Broderick told the magazine.
