This month we are giving a bit of our space to a few med student colleagues of ours who have been working alongside our own Dr. Ben Forestell to create a really neat reflection about the COVID-19 pandemic. Tales from the Front Line: A Pandemic Podcast The Novel Coronavirus 19 pandemic is an event to be remembered in the history books, the epidemiology texts, and healthcare seminars. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been discussed endlessly since early 2020. Frontline workers have been reported on extensively but what about their own stories? Since the pandemic began, frontline workers including emergency physicians have worked to save their communities from COVID-19. Their stories deserve to be heard Tales from the Frontline brings us back to the dawning of the epidemic through the lens of three emergency physicians – Dr. Teresa Chan, Dr. Kevin Dong and Dr. Jonathan Sherbino. The podcast explores the origins of the pandemic and initial reactions by providers to the news. The uncertainty is palpable, fear is brewing, and no one knows how long this will go on for. In this stand-alone special, we take you back to March 2020. The pandemic has arrived, and with it questions around transmission and severity abound. There is no playbook and policies change every day in the emergency room. As the cases grow, emergency physicians become increasingly aware of their role in fighting this virus as frontline healthcare workers. The perspectives provided by the doctors in the episode will give audiences a better understanding of what it felt like to be part of the initial task force that faced the virus head on. With the sounds of the emergency room in your ears, our experts bring you right into the doctor's charting room during this time. Narrated and written by Katie van Kampen, a third year medical student and storyteller, the podcast grew from a love of narratives and wanting to give doctors a platform to reflect on the origins of the pandemic. The pandemic started not with a bang, but with a whimper.
