Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 It took until late February for the first patient to come to the South Side ER, a flight attendant named Terri who came with a cough and a story. She had shaken hands with clients in Seattle, where the ICUs were overwhelmed with infected patients.
#2 As the nation continued to collapse, I was unable to make decisions for my friends regarding when to take their kids out of school or whether to take their planned vacation to Jamaica. I did not withhold information from them, but I did not offer them any comforting predictions about how many people would die.
#3 The South Side was hit hard by the virus, and I knew that the onslaught was inevitable. I expected to be infected before it was over. The only question I had was: how sick will I become.
#4 I announced to my family that I would not see them for a while to protect them from infection. With primary-colored helium balloons floating to the ceiling, my announcement turned it into a going-away party.

It took until late February for the first patient to come to the South Side ER, a flight attendant named Terri who came with a cough and a story. She had shaken hands with clients in Seattle, where the ICUs were overwhelmed with infected patients.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The virus changes everything. What to wear, how to get to the hospital, when to eat, and every step of patient care has to be rethought in order to stay safe.

#2

I was heading to the University of Chicago hospital to work as an emergency doctor. I was greeted by a spotless gold 1992 Coupe de Ville with chrome hammers, and ramp workers panhandling.

#3

I was the attending physician for a section of the ER that had been converted into a waiting area for people with flu-like symptoms. The patients were South Siders, Black people who had been devalued by segregation.

#4

I was the only physician in the trauma bay that night, and had to float between two patients. I focused my attention on the woman, who had a single bullet wound that shattered her tibia and broke her fibula. She’ll need surgery to repair her fractured leg sometime in the next twenty-four hours.

#5

The changes to the hospital were making me feel uncomfortable. I was used to eating and drinking while I worked, but now that required a lot of unmasking, handwashing, and finding a nonclinical area six feet away from anyone else.

The hospital has been dealing with the virus for a week now, and the situation has become worse. There is no more albuterol inhalers to give out, so we have to use the albuterol inhalers that we have cleaned after each use.

#7

I walk to my next patient in Room 27, where the senior re
