Answer:
Strange. Unprecedented. Tumultuous. These words, among others, have become familiar descriptors of the times in which we are living.
The COVID-19 pandemic has wrought havoc on life as we know it, and with that has come an overwhelming collective negativity. Although the damage that COVID-19 has done cannot be minimized, it makes it all the more important to find the positive stories amidst the uncertainty. Hopefully these stories of compassion, self-sacrifice, and humanity will be able to offer some encouragement in this strange, unprecedented, and tumultuous time.
Putting Compassion Before Personal Comfort
Part of being a great physician is putting compassion before personal comfort. Because the current pandemic impacted specific cities significantly more than others, providers from across the country offered their time and services where they were needed most. One emergency department physician, Brad Butler, MD, FACEP, saw a decrease in patients at his local hospital, which allowed him to travel to the city facing the harshest impact of COVID-19. When asked about his experience treating patients during the pandemic he replied,
I have been gone… for the past 3 weeks, deployed with the Navy to the Javits Center in NYC. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve with over 2,000 of my fellow service members (Navy, Army, Air Force, National Guard, and Public Health Service) here in NYC, taking some of the burden off the local EDs and hospitals. I have personally met over a hundred COVID patients, who were universally pleasant and thankful for our service and care of them.
It is encouraging to see that so many physicians are willing to offer assistance during times of crisis, even if it means travelling over two thousand miles and treating a convention center full of COVID-19 patients. At the core of healthcare is compassion, and that quality is being highlighted now more than ever.
Setting a Good Example
Role models and mentors are an invaluable part of good health care. Every physician, resident, and student can name the individuals who contributed the most to their journey in medicine. Amidst the current pandemic, many providers have reached out to their mentors for inspiration, advice, and a sense of comradery. When asked about positivity among COVID-19, Katherine Dahl, MD, pointed toward her mentor as an example of resilience and forward-thinking:
The other day, a friend of mind said, “COVID really shows people’s true colors.” It’s true. This crisis seems to reveal and augment deep personal qualities both negative and positive. I have a story of a man whose beautiful soul is revealed by this crisis. He is my mentor from training in New York City. His hospital was running out of CRRT machines and he was told that he would need to come up with a plan to decide which patients would be denied dialysis. He refused to deny dialysis to anyone, and insisted that he would find a way to dialyze everyone who needed it. He contacted a large dialysis company and got them to lend home dialysis machines that could be used for continuous dialysis in the ICU. The company also sent nurses who could run these dialysis machines, and could teach the ICU nurses how to run them. When they were running out of dialysate, he came up with a formula to make their own dialysis solution from scratch. He also came up with an idea to use a blood pump to make new dialysis machines in case the home dialysis machines were not enough. When everything seems impossible and dark, everyone feels some element of despair. Some people get overwhelmed and give up, while others stay creative and think outside the box. My mentor will never give up.
Having mentors who are resilient and innovative will continue to pave the way for new physicians, and this pandemic will allow those mentors to shine. If every student and resident can find inspiration during this time of adversity, we will surely be set up for success in our own medical practices.
