Today.

I told a 28 year old that he needs intubation. He was scared. Couldn’t breathe.

I told the wife of a 47 year old that he is dying over FaceTime.

I bronched a #COVID19 patient who mucous plugged. It saved his life. Risked mine.

I walked through the ED as the ambulances kept rolling in, bringing more patients with sats in the 60s.

I worked with an amazing team of residents, fellows, nurses and respiratory therapists.

I’m completely humbled by their heroic effort and teamwork.

I returned home on empty streets past shuttered store fronts.

In time to have dinner with my family for the first time this week.

Hoping that I won’t make them sick.

This is our new normal.

#NYC we will get through this.
