Description
🏆 2021 BIBA® Non-Fiction: Health Winner!
This is a rich story told from the viewpoint of Adam Jarrett, Chief Medical Officer at a hospital described as at the epicenter of the first wave of the pandemic. Adam is a classic story teller and draws on his medical experiences to not just tell the story of Covid-19 but of the people who responded to it: the engineer who invented new ways of caring for patients, the hospital’s “Radar” who secured needed PPE, the volunteer who drove up from Arkansas to deliver ventilators and lived in the parking lot for a month and many doctors, nurses and even construction workers on the frontline of our nation’s response.
Adam not only lays out the challenge of a hospital administrator as he deals with decisions concerning death and treatment, but he lays out his medical philosophy and the lessons we need to have learned from the first wave of the pandemic.
