ah no. who? i am the pulmonary and critical care physician. i was born and raised in new york city in a lifeline. have a yankees m, i'm currently on the long stretch of work in the ideal or 5 week street and happens to coincide with the emergence of krona virus here in boston. and it's something that i think

raises a lot of uncertainty and fear amongst it over there practicing because there are so many i know we don't know how bad it's going to be in the next 21. and then fairly can fornia and it was another comb day today our patient volumes at the very low and the philos. jose, great. we are running a little bit low on teaching yourself and i was unable to find an adult mask that i've got this pretty sweet kids master where they're not the best at birth.

i get the job done. i am, i am an e r physician and i work at a couple community hospital just outside boston myself full time student right now i am getting my m b a from mit. and so what that really means is that i'm in classes monday to thursday, essentially are in the week and i work on the weekends. and so things have been crazy, crazy, the last few weeks and unfortunate that i have these breaks in between my shift, my next shift as tomorrow. and so it's really hard to know what to expect. ah, me

container looks like a small lunch box and has my name. my name on it. this is my and 95 that i'm going to be using be entire at least the entire week. maybe longer. i was doing a lot of research today trying to find out if there were specific guidelines and of course, because it's a pretty new virus. there are a whole 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 finance as a single person today for go even though about half the patients i saw definitely had it. and that's because are low on tasks, then none of them required admissions or mit or met the criteria that we look for it's march 30th about midnight and i just had my 1st death,

likely from coded super sad story. was a 65 year old male who was walking and talking earlier tonight, but had been complaining of some short of breath recently with new visitor policies in the hospital. it's really, really difficult. you have to go to family and say your level and 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 events will change and it's going to feel much different than the emergency room. who the in know, we sort of like compartmentalize and shut off the terribleness of it and connect

just enough to have empathy one when talking to the families. and i think, you know, if you really took every case and every death to heart, it'd 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 crying over every patient you can't to but everyone to others like patient i'll touch you and you don't know why. maybe you like the family. maybe the patients hands reminded your dad or take whatever it is. it does like often connect to your core and you feel this surge of emotion and this lump in your throat and water in your eyes. and you're like, i've turned it off me here. new york might be getting

a little bit what they're saying. i see my mom all the time. she lives in new york city and i go down once a month to see her and i haven't been able to see her so it's hard to air and get sick. my car rode down on sunday and i called triple a and 2 boys says they have you been in contact with somebody who you know has chrome i was like no because i knew i say yes. can i come to help in my car? so 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 local job. i think that this time is emergency medicines, spotlight and it be kind of a shame to not see what what is going on in new york city now. oh, like i said earlier, i am feeling very fortunate that i have not full time 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, and i can pain and a patients. yes there. so the whole thing is just really crazy. nurses are really

unhappy with the short staff providers because sick patients are waiting for a really long time, even though we have enough people theory at theoretically, just more setting doctors home early in. the whole thing is just crazy, but they're trying to come back on her hours because i guess we're expensive and they're not. you know, hospitals not making any money off of the elective surgeries, but i felt like today was busy regardless. so i'm glad to be done. anyways, i got an hour ish drive ahead of me. thankfully there is no traffic, i guess that's why the most positive things like and think of an entire situation. mm hm. how are you? yes, it is finished. the chef. i take it off. i know her all is the hard for

all those live aid the only ah, did some coffee right now? ah ah ah, ah. so i just finished a night shift. ah, it was a long one. julie long when i on see ah exit. no, it ended with a terrible death. so it's always leap was awful. every patient is you blah blah blah, your old blah blah. sheer with respiratory failure from chrome verse. it just kind of can be a little bit di, monotonous. today we had a patient come in, who was interested in the emergency room. and out i was putting in a central line in her neck and i got

a real artery line in her wrist. and while i was doing it, the nurse was going through her belongings and came across a sandwich in her bad air bag belong. it's like this woman walked into the emergency room. thought i might have to wait awhile. so i should get assemblage and got a sandwich, and now is on life support without family around her because we're not allowing families in it all. suddenly i look at her and like saw her as a person instead of just a patient with krona virus. monday, april 13th, 0930 at night. and i just got home 2 weeks ago i was kind of

like bummed out that that on my patients had gotten better and that this is such a long haul to recovery. and i looked back last night. those patients say, i think i signed up 10 peas heights. none of them have gotten better. some are so live, but love them have gotten better. that is why i don't like scary. the me. all right, so i'm going to give a little bit longer of an update of where i am, how i got here, and what's been going on. so i am currently working in

a cobit unit. it's in the washington heights neighborhood of manhattan. this unit was set up about 2 weeks ago. it's set up in not in the mean hospital. we're currently in the lobby of the hospital. i'm not sure if the hospitals in california were doing quite as openly but we were trusting family members off with with the and 95 m p b and allowing them to come and visit which which is incredibly necessary. ah ours we all we have, i pads next to all the bad so patients can face time if they don't have their own phones. ah me. i definitely feel a little bit nervous that contracting cove it but who knows? i might have been positive at some point in the past. i might have been through it

. i don't know. 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 yes, definitely. when somebody touches their face, i think i touch my face earlier in this video, but it's definitely, i notice that i really wanted to see more and understand covert. it's a fascinating, fascinating illness. and i've only been in the past few days getting to understand a little bit on understanding how is changing our practice of medicine. oh well i thought would go on

there with those errors. he is my esteemed colleague, author of im, various in i have very, very exciting news to share. today. april 19th. i estimated who he is. ah, which is awesome. is awesome. i have been working like a dog on service for weeks and weeks and weeks and had not activated a single page. and i exceeded 2 today, which was really and you i call 1st ring family member picks up everything. okay. and already updated them. they weren't expecting

another phone call and i said, we're sex to be a you dad. and he's doing great. and the only genuine joy on the other end of the line and no like i this is the best news i heard in weeks. thank you. thank you. you know that we can the yeah, nothing unbelievable is just oh, really good to deliver that newness on and your patients for their lives and we're fighting for them. but these family members are home fighting and praying do everything they can to will their loved ones. and you could just hear the relief on the other end of the fall. ah natal, great. did

i it's april 30th, 2020 and i have my next shift tomorrow on friday. um, but i just found out that it's my last shift at this hospital, which is also that i've been working in for 4 years. just found out that they're cutting all of our shifts because there is not in the volume dealer and amec and they can't give me any more shifts for an indefinite amount of time. i'm in a bit of a disbelief. i'm really upset about it and to stay for that. i have another hospital that i work at. although sherman i hear from them any minute, they're cancelling my chefs as well. next week. i just can't believe at

a time when we have a we're in the middle of the b as health crisis for our generation. and me as an e. r doctor has suddenly left in a position where i don't have a job and i'm worried about my rent. i mean, i'm a some more fortunate than other people in terms of my training in terms of, you know what i do right now. i don't feel that way. maybe i have to move to a smaller place so i can't afford it. i don't know when i'm in again more shifted as hospital again. maybe i can look for another job. it loves his place. carefully that to mars me when i say it, harper, he yes,

his throat has her. they had a 2 days 2 my patients dad was pretty young. she is and i rather called the son to come be with her. so that was done back for joseph your son was waiting outside the room, pairing to the window the last moment of his mom. and she wanted to be with her. she asked if she could take off when

he showed up but also might feel uncomfortable teacher to take it off and her son went in she passed away pre immediately and i guess it's been kinda long. so in the past few days, i've got to walk around the hospital and visit some things, and i visited the operating rooms which had turned into intensive care units. and this is one of the craziest 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 and to see $3.00 to $4.00 patients and each one of them is

pretty wild. also in my 2 weeks here, we have only treated one caucasian patient. i think more than half of our population has spanish speaking. i think that goes to speak how much of this disease burdens multigenerational households and the poor population was in manhattan and where we are. and 3rd of the people that cannot socially distance burdens the people that are unable to work from home. i thanks for joining in it may 8th, 2020 to start off with say that i had to file for unemployment yesterday i did that,

which is crazy. never even considered that as being a possibility in my career as an emergency room physician. that's the one they we joke about. we say job security when somebody does anything stupid because theoretically that's true, this is really interesting because of the voted so much of my time to helping to educate patients into understanding women needs to come to the emergency room when they don't. and i pride myself on that i focus so i am, i'm proud that i have retained a lot of that from my training in canada and griffin 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 a months. people who are coming because i want a pregnancy test. those people pay me through

you guys i t is thursday may 14th, i had like our research few days and i feel like i probably should have been recording during it, but it's still ongoing. so home, our own fill in really, really burned out, ah, really tired today is monday, may 18 work was insane on friday and he was absolutely not 1234. today is thursday due to weather think i'd probably put an 80 hours away for the past 2 weeks. i'm no longer able to sleep until like night am. i'm super grateful that i love my job and emergency medicine and that i'm able to come out and help out where i'm able to and

ah, grateful just my family is healthy and she she, if it is a late engage a patient who got really, really sick wondering, it felt like she was gonna die. she did fax machine is on the news today are being built and hold talking about her experiences. talk about that dr. lee told her that she was going to be cut into a coma and put her daughter on a speech, but not really good to see somebody in the window leave. so many of like non rennes, that had so many debts to me. awful data. there is easier. remember those people

and kind of feel awake. gary went through this battle, this war, but like, her survivors are so did and our losses are so great. then you see a woman like this on, you know, on the ears and she looks great shears ah, something you're like. okay. ah .
