Collected Frontline COVID-19 Stories

For my three month Medium anniversary, I’ve compiled my stories from the frontlines of the pandemic — being sick, being a surgeon, and helping out in COVID-infested emergency rooms. A few of these articles were published in my earlier days of Medium writing, so they have been edited and properly re-formatted for clarity.

If for no other reason, at some point these may add to our historical record of this historical moment.

In chronological order, here they are!
