To Fix Healthcare After Covid-19, Doctors Must Have The Courage To Change
Long before doctors were fighting the coronavirus, their professional ancestors were risking their lives to battle the Black Death. Throughout history, physicians have demonstrated courage: the ability to act regardless of the risks or fear involved. Consider the act of sawing off a gangrenous limb or performing brain surgery or treating a disease like Ebola, which kills as many as 90% of the people it infects. In these harrowing situations, courage alone isn’t enough. Doctors must also—to a certain extent—deny objective reality. They must repress the very existence of fear, detach themselves from their emotions, admit no weaknesses, deny all pain, show a single-minded attentiveness to the task at hand and snuff out any feelings that try to escape in the process. Until recently, no one ever questioned whether such extreme denial was mentally healthy. Doctors just assumed it was necessary. Courage and denial remain cultural imperatives in the profession today. These traits are taught to every medical student and hardwired into every doctor. And they come with some unfortunate, and tragic, side effects. I remember a talented doctor who returned to work the day after she, herself, received a terminal diagnosis. None of her colleagues, friends or patients were aware of her illness until after she died. In medical culture, this kind of emotional detachment is the rule, not the exception. As a nation, we owe a debt of gratitude for the courage and denial of our doctors. Without their bravery and sacrifices over the past year and a half, Covid-19 would have killed many more of our friends and loved ones.

Young, Black, Healthcare Heroes Are Tackling Disparities During Dueling Pandemics

Full of nerves and grateful for the opportunities afforded to her, Rebecca's career as a Black registered nurse is beginning at a time when the United States is encountering the dueling pandemics of COVID-19 and racial injustice. Like so many others entering professions in healthcare, Rebecca is treating patients during a pandemic which has disproportionately claimed the lives of Black, Brown and vulnerable citizens, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
