Providers reflect on early changes from the COVID-19 pandemic
This is an occasional series called Portraits in Healthcare to capture the changes happening in healthcare due to COVID-19 as experienced by providers in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The series includes stories of a physician’s assistant capturing the challenges of treating COVID-19 through photographs of her masked colleagues, a critical care physicians experience responding to ICU surges in Texas, and a Pennsylvania nurse’s handling of the emotional fallout of helping patients say their final goodbyes to loved ones over the phone.
