As our nation takes over in the number of worldwide COVID-19 infections, President Trump is considering relaxing social distancing guidelines stating that doctors want to “shut down the world” for a couple of years. To do our jobs to save lives in our communities, we desperately need PPE, hospital beds, and ventilators too.  However, none of these things will…

Anticipatory grief during the COVID-19 pandemic

By Angelica | Mar 29, 2020 | Comments Off on Anticipatory grief during the COVID-19 pandemic

I woke up today wearing the lead suit of grief. I was tired, irritable, and tearful.  I was angry at the lack of PPE and the risk that this poses to my colleagues.  I was sad, anticipating the loss of my colleagues who are still alive and well.  I was in denial, wondering if I…

COVID-19: Time is the one thing we can never get back

By Angelica | Mar 29, 2020 | Comments Off on COVID-19: Time is the one thing we can never get back

When I look at his big blue-gray eyes, I see fear, sadness, resignation, and what only I can recognize as an attempt to reassure me. I can faintly make out small areas of moisture at the corners of his crinkled eyes, while I see him struggling for both words and breath. I can barely hear…

By Angelica | Mar 29, 2020 | Comments Off on I am an ER doctor on the front lines of the COVID-19 fight but I am counting my blessings

What a time to be alive. What a time to be a new emergency room doctor. Ten months into a hopefully long career and already facing the healthcare battle of my life. I’m in my early 30s. Not exactly the highest risk age group when it comes to the novel coronavirus. But make no mistake,…

By Angelica | Mar 29, 2020 | Comments Off on The front lines become the football field during Ramadan

I had been waiting for a FaceTime call back for a few weeks now, excited to share with my friend that I had decided which specialty I would pursue. It was when COVID-19 cast the darkness over New York City that I knew he would no longer be interested in that. My friend is a…

Physician burnout is a patient safety issue

By Angelica | Mar 29, 2020 | Comments Off on Physician burnout is a patient safety issue

He was supposed to be the first patient of the day — not the last. He started as a “no-show” on an already overbooked afternoon office schedule. A gift of sorts, I thought, making clinic a little bit easier and a tiny bit quicker. But Jim showed up hours later in my waiting room. The…

By Angelica | Mar 28, 2020 | Comments Off on I am a physician, and I am scared

I am a physician, and I am scared. I am scared for my patients, my friends, my family, and most of all, I am scared for my colleagues. As an oncologist, I am not someone yet on the frontlines treating patients acutely diagnosed with COVID-19, although when the call for all hands-on deck comes, I…
