Episode 73: Volunteering at the Epicenter of COVID-19

I continue my coverage of the COVID19 pandemic on the Outspoken Oncology Podcast and host Ethan Weiss, MD, associate professor, Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California at San Francisco who tells his story of volunteering to treat patients in NYC during the outbreak. We talk about his expectations of the work he was to do in advance of volunteering, adjusting to a new hospital environment, deciding to chronicle the volunteering experience and subsequent work, and the viral Twitter picture he posted on a crowded plane as he flew home.
