A Collaborative Community of Healthcare Workers Sharing Their COVID Experiences
If you are like me, one of the hardest thing about treating patients during the COVID 19 epidemic has been the unknown. Daily we are facing difficult questions that we have very little resources to find the answers to:
How and when do we test? Are the tests reliable?
How do we treat our sick patients?
How do we manage a practice and keep our healthy patients healthy.
Who is contagious and for how long? How do we know if someone is still contagious?
Will there be a vaccine? What is the latest research?
Why are some patients asymptomatic and others are deadly sick?
How do I get PPE and what do I do when I can not?
Are serology tests useful.. or just unreliable? How do I get tests? Which ones are approved and which ones are scams?
And so many more?
We are being barraged daily by social media and news posts about this disease, and have the CDC etc. to go to for some answers… but it seems like a moving target that we have more questions on daily. How do you care for patients when there is no standard of care?
That is why this website was created: As an opportunity for us on the “Frontlines” to share and interact with other physicians and caregivers so we can learn from one another and to collaborate together as we face this epidemic together.
