I’ve been relatively insulated thus far. Though I have been seeing patients, most of my encounters are video or telephone. Tomorrow my little sister starts her month rotation in ED. (She’s ...

This week has started off oddly. I am at home. I am not on vacation. I wish I were. Instead, I am at home in a sort of self-quarantine. Last week, as I was getting ready to go to work I noticed...
