In this episode, Reesh chops it up with Gargi Mehta, who is a critical care physician assistant as well as Manager of the Medical ICU & Acute Medicine Advance Practice Providers at one of the largest hospitals in New York City. They talk about how COVID-19 patients wind up in the ICU, some common patterns being seen with younger patients infected with COVID-19, "the invisible 50" in the hospital that we don't hear about in the media, and how healthcare providers in the epicenter of this pandemic are dealing with the overwhelming nature of what they're experiencing on a daily basis.
To the healthcare professionals on the frontline that are probably either getting off of a shift or getting ready for their next, thank you for all that you do!
