I told a 28 year old that he needs intubation. He was scared. Couldn’t breathe.
I told the wife of a 47 year old that he is dying over FaceTime.
I bronched a #COVID19 patient who mucous plugged. It saved his life. Risked mine.
I worked with an amazing team of residents, fellows, nurses and respiratory therapists.
I’m completely humbled by their heroic effort and teamwork.
In time to have dinner with my family for the first time this week.
Hoping that I won’t make them sick.
This is our new normal.
#NYC we will get through this.
