unprecedented scenes of violence and chaos on capitol hill joe biden and pummel harris will be sworn into office but with a bitterly obstructive hour for the president and a continuing pandemic just how different will the traditional celebrations need to be special coverage of the u.s. presidential inauguration announces in. the. pulmonary care physician. born and raised in new york city. in our lives and. i'm currently has

a long stretch. in the i.c.u. or 5 weeks straight. and happens to coincide with the emergence of coronavirus in boston. and it's something that i think. raises a lot owns. certainty and sears amongst all who are back at the scene because. there are so many unknowns we don't know how bad it can be. it's march 20th about 1 am up in clear lake california and it was another calm day today our patient volumes have been very low and the fuel is just great

we are running a little bit later on keepin yourselves and was unable to find an adult mask but i've got this pretty sweet kids master where they're going out the best fetid burks. to get the job done. and e.r. physician i work at a couple community hospitals just outside boston most of full time student right now i'm getting my m.b.a. from mit and so what that really means is that i'm in classes monday to thursday essentially during the week and i work on the weekends. and so. things have been pretty crazy the last few weeks and i'm fortunate that i have these breaks in

between my shifts and my next step just tomorrow and so. it's really hard to know what to expect. if it works and in her looks like a small lunch box and has my name and. my name on it and this is my name that i'm going to be using in the entire. at least the entire week maybe longer. i was doing a lot of research to find out if there were specific guidelines and of course because it's a pretty new virus there are a lot of published guidelines available so it's if you do what you think is best.

and hopefully i did what's best for my patients interestingly enough i didn't test a single person today for good even though about half the patients i saw definitely had it and that's because our low on task. required admission and or mit are met the criteria that we look for. it's march 30th about midnight and i just had my 1st half likely from code it super sad story it was a 65 year old male who was walking and talking earlier tonight but had been complaining us maturing as a prophet recently with new visitor policies in the hospital it's really really difficult. you have to go to family and say your loved one has just died but you cannot visit them right now i think that as things ramp up it's going to have a much different much crazier but events will change and it's

going to feel much different in the emergency room. i think we sort of compartmentalize and shut off the terribleness of it and connect just enough you know to to have. empathy one when talking to the families but i think. you know if you really took every case and every death. to heart it be impossible to do the job that we do. so i think that's like a coping mechanism and i think it there's an appropriate balance of. being in touch with your emotions but not too much that you're. you know crying over every patient you can't kid. but everyone to others like

a patient will touch you and you don't know why. maybe you like the family maybe the patients has reminded you dad or. whatever it is it does like us and connect to your core and you feel this surge of emotion and this lump in your throat in the water in your eyes and you're like i'll turn this off. here new york might be getting a little bit that's what they're saying. is that my mom always time she was in new york city and i go down once a month this year and i haven't been able to see her. it's always hard you're always there you're get over how sick. my car broke down on sunday and i call aaa and aaa says you know have you. been in contact with somebody who you know has cars houses like. no because they knew i say yes they're not going to. come

help me with my car so it's saturday april 4th just finished a shift and. volumes are still very low in the emergency room across the multiple sites that i work at in the bay area so another interesting development i am going to try to go to new york city to see if i can get a locums job i think that this time is emergency medicines spotlights. and if you kind of a shame to not see what. what is going on in new york city.

it's an earlier i am feeling very fortunate that i am not fulltime anymore i can see my colleagues just really drained and everyone's very aggravated with the whole shift changes because we are not working as much and so we're not going pain and the patients need us there so the whole thing is just really crazy nurses are really not happy with the short staffed providers because sick patients are waiting for a lot of time even though we have enough people all theory and theoretically just. doctors home early and the whole thing is just crazy. but i'm trying to cut back on our hours because i guess more expensive and they're not. making any money off of the elective surgeries that i feel like today was busy her give us so. much to be done icing on our initial drive ahead of me thankfully there is no traffic i guess

that's one of the most positive things i can think of and it's tire situation. we're in there. so. it was the coffee craze now. i. just finished a night shift it was a lot julie launch. i don't see. that. it ended with a terrible death so it's always like this it's awful. every patient is you know global glaive year olds blah blah here with respiratory failure from

kroger's it just kind of can be a little bit. monotonous today we had a patient come in who was interested in the emergency room and i was putting in a central line or no in her. real artery lining her wrist and while i was doing it the nurse was going through her belongings and came across a sandwich in her bag their bag of blunt it's like this woman walked into the emergency room. i might have to wait a while so i should get a sandwich and got a sandwich and now is on life support without family around her because we're not allowing families in the whole suddenly i look at her and like saw her as

a person instead of just a patient coronavirus. monday april 13th 0930 at night and i just got home 2 weeks ago i was and. i thought now that my patients have gotten better and that this is a long haul to recovery and i look back last night those patients i saw i think i was i know 10 people it's not. some or so i've. got that are. it's just my aunt sally sara.

the rights of going to have a little bit longer of an update of where i am how i got here and what's been going on ciro i'm currently working in a qubit unit it's in the washington heights neighborhood of manhattan this unit was set up about 2 weeks ago it's set up in the not in the main hospital we're currently in the lobby of the hospital i'm not sure if the hospitals in california are doing quite as openly but we were addressing family members up with with them and $95.00 and p p and that come to come and visit which which is incredibly necessary. i was we all we have i pads

next to all the beds so asians can face time if they don't have their own fountains . i definitely feel a little bit nervous that contract encourage it but who knows i might have been positive at some point in the past i might have been through it i don't now. i'm generally much more careful now. i've been very good at putting on a mask and not touching it while it's on and. i think i yeah. it's definitely when somebody touches their face i think i touch my face earlier in this video but it's definitely i notice it. i really wanted to see more and understand kogut it's

a fascinating fascinating illness and i've only been in the past few days getting to understand a little bit. understanding how it's changing our practice of medicine. i thought with that one. this is a rose he is my esteemed colleague. after the theme various names. and very very exciting news to share today april 19th i extubated who he is yes. which is awesome is awesome i have been working in like a good hunk on service for weeks and weeks and weeks and have not executed

a single piece. and. today which was thrilling and i call 1st ring do you remember picks up so if you look. at early updated them they were expecting another phone call and he said news x. to the dad and he's doing great and they're like genuine joint on the other end of the line and you know like this is the best news i've heard in weeks thank you thank you yeah that you can they get enough sleep. well you will is just felt really good to deliver that news. and your patients are paying for their lives and we're fighting for them but these members are home.

highly trained in. everything and we'll hear a lot there and you could just hear the relief. on the other end of the song. now felt great. i it's april 30th 2020 and. i have my next shift tomorrow on friday. but i just found out that it smashed at this hospital which is also the i've been working for for years just found out that they're cutting our show speak has there is not enough volume to the pandemic and they can't give me any more

shifts for an indefinite time. i'm in a bit of a disbelief i'm really upset about it and just thankful that i have another hospital that i work at. although i'm sure many hear from them a minute they're canceling my shift as well next week. i just can't believe that the time when we have we're in the middle of the day is health crisis for a generation and me as an e.r. doctor has suddenly left in a position where i don't have a job and worried about my rand. i mean i'm a summer fortunate people in terms of my training in terms of you know what i do right now i don't feel that way they have to move to a smaller place like it for it. you know when i'm going to get more shots of this

hospital again maybe i can offer no job if love this place. can't leave that to mars around stay it's heartbreaking. but yes especially as for everybody. i had a couple deaths. you know i was off today as a kid my patients died. one was pretty young she's under 50 is. and. my resident called the sun to come be with her so i'm always on max. dose of this high flow oxygen the her son was waiting outside of her own carry him to the window.

looking like the last moments of his mom. and. she wanted to be with him and. so she asked if you take the oxygen off. and we explained that. you know if you take the oxygen off. you know. she'll die you'll die but also. my feeling comfortable. and she chose to take it off and her son when. she passed away it pretty immediately. nate and yes it's good she didn't die alone. in the past few days

i've got to walk around the hospital and visit them and i visit the operating rooms which have turned into intensive care units. you know this is one of the cruises things that i've seen each operating room contains 3 to 4 ventilated patients so an operating room generally is not meant for any more than one patient into see 3 to 4 patients and each one of them is pretty wild also in my 2 weeks here we've only treated one. caucasian patient i think more than half of our population a spanish speaking. i think bikers to speak how much of this disease burdens. the multigenerational households and the poorer populations in manhattan and where we are you know and burdens the people that

cannot socially distance burdens the people that are unable to work from home. i thanks for tuning in and it's may 8th 2020. to start off with i'll say that i had to file for unemployment yesterday did that because just crazy have never even considered that as being a possibility in my career as an emergency or physician that's the one they we joke about we say job security when somebody does anything stupid because the ironically that's true it's really interesting because i've devoted so much of my time to helping to educate patients and to understanding when they need to come to the emergency room when they don't and i pride myself on my focus i mean i'm proud that i have retained a lot of that from my training in canada and it's. been one week that has

been turned upside down and now i'm realizing that i get paid by those people i get paid by the people who don't need to be in the emergency room. i get paid by the people who have a sore throat for months people who come in because i want to pregnancy tests those people pay me. today is thursday may 14th and i'd like are really few days and i feel like i probably should have been recording but it's still ongoing so all are failing. really really burned out. feeling tired. today is monday me eat team work was insane on friday and i was absolutely knots

i want to 34 hour day is thursday june land. think i've probably put in any hours a week for the past 2 weeks and i'm no longer able sleep until i can by day out of super group for about i want my job in emergency medicine and i'm able to come out and help out where i'm able to. group all. my family is healthy in. june at 17 it is like night and day and kishen got really really sick when really it. felt like she was going to die she did foreign issues on the news today being told to hold talking about her experience

and talk it out it's dr who told her that she was going to be. put into a coma and put her daughter on that. we're not really good to seeing. somebody live the women's lives so many. non-release because so many deaths so many awful dads the ones easier number those people and kind of still. care we went through this battle this war. they are survivors. are still needed or losses are so great but then you see a woman with a business on your 100 years she looks great she was awesome here i swear to.
