Imagine showing up for work every day for a year, knowing full well that each day you risk contracting a potentially devastating disease with unknown long-term consequences. That's exactly what Dr. Thomas Fisher went through, as he documents vividly in his recent book, The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago E.R., which delves into what it was like fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines in 2020. Dr. Fisher, an emergency physician at the University of Chicago Medical Center, former healthcare executive, and former White House Fellow, has dedicated his life to caring for his community, the black population of Chicago's South Side. In this episode, he recounts harrowing stories from the emergency room, gives an impassioned critique of a health care system with too little space for doctors to provide the care their patients need, and shares a renewed vision of healthcare as a foundation of social justice.In this episode, you will hear about:What motivated Dr. Fisher to write his book, The Emergency, a riveting first-hand account of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic - 2:09The uncertainty and terror physicians faced at very beginning of the pandemic - 5:29An intimate picture of how emergency physicians approached the first COVID-19 patients - 9:45How an upbringing in Chicago's South Side propelled Dr. Fisher into a career in healthcare, and how the reality of inequitable systems has shaped his medical practice - 13:10A discussion of the concept of “heroism” in the context of frontline healthcare workers - 20:35How Dr. Fisher used letters addressed to patients as a narrative device in his book to explore social injustices that affect individual health - 30:50Dr. Fisher's reflections on maintaining a connection to the meaning of his work despite the seemingly insurmountable systemic challenges that he recognizes - 35:57Practical advice for clinicians on making space for patient care within a rushed healthcare environment - 42:28Dr. Fisher is the author of The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago E.R.Follow Dr. Fisher on Twitter @TFisherMD.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Some of the greatest societal inequities are evident in emergency rooms. ER physician Dr. Thomas Fisher, author of Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER, captures some of these moments during the COVID pandemic, illuminating the intimate relationship between doctors and patients. He talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about his book and about how health care—and ERs in particular—uphold systems of inequity even without intending to, and how providers can try to offer everyone coming through the doors the care they deserve.
Thomas Fisher is an emergency room doc in Chicago. His book, The Emergency, is an up-close chronicle of the COVID pandemic's first year in his South Side ER. It also zooms out to tell the story of his journey as a doctor: How his upbringing on the South Side fueled his desire to become a doctor. And how the realities and inequities of American health care limited his ability to help. He details how the failures of the American health care system — and the racial inequities it perpetuates — leave health care workers with a profound sense of moral injury. “Over time, when you have this conflict between what you can do and what you're supposed to do—what you wish you could do, what you're trained to do—that creates a moral conundrum….It also leads a lot of people to leave the profession ” For a time, Fisher himself stepped away from practicing medicine. The journey took him to the executive suite but ultimately landed him back in the ER where he started.On the street outside the hospital where Fisher works, he sits down with host Dan Weissmann to discuss the book and his search for meaning in the daily sprint of life in the ER.

It's almost impossible to quantify the problems with the way we approach healthcare in this country. For something which should be a human right, high-quality healthcare is often provided in unlimited amounts to the rich at the expense of the poor—especially people of color. In his new book “The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER,” our guest Dr. Thomas Fisher examines the injustices of our system through the eyes of a physician trying to do his best for his patients in a system that seems designed to prevent him from doing so. PRAISE for “The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER” “This book reminds us how permanently interesting our bodies are, especially when they go wrong. Fisher's account of his days is gripping. . . . His frustration, his outraged intelligence, is palpable on every page. . . . the best account I've read about working in a busy hospital during Covid.” —The New York Times “A briskly paced, heartfelt, often harrowing year in the life of an ER doctor on Chicago's historically Black South Side.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The Emergency is graphic and gut-wrenching, as it should be. It is an undeniable call for a just health-care system, as it will be.”—Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist “With scalpel-like precision and searing patient stories, Thomas Fisher exposes the battlefield of medicine and the scarring—and often fatal—wounds of inequality. The Emergency is a bat call. Health care doesn't care, inequality kills, and we must do better.”—Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, author of What the Eyes Don't See “The Emergency is a doctor's-eye view of the layered crises afflicting a single Chicago community and the entire nation that surrounds it. By turns brutal and beautiful, this is a tale of life, death, and the people whose efforts often determine which of those two will prevail.”—Jelani Cobb, co-editor of The Matter of Black Lives “Tired of reading about COVID-19? Don't make the mistake of missing the best book about it to date. The Emergency is Thomas Fisher's memoir of the first year of the pandemic's grip on Chicago's South Side, where he grew up and where he battled the disease, along with every other ailment and injury that reached his emergency room. This is no past-tense memoir but a gripping account of events as they happen. It's beautifully rendered in the present tense and leavened by a series of letters he composed to, and in honor of, his patients. But this is also a book about our country, a wrenching and tender reflection on an aphorism Fisher invokes: When America catches a cold, black America catches pneumonia. It won't take you long to read this fast-paced account, but you won't forget it anytime soon.”—Paul Farmer, M.D., author of Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor “Riveting . . . [Fisher] eloquently captures the intensity of the situation . . . and shares heartrending stories of victims. . . . The result is a powerful reckoning with racial injustice and a moving portrait of everyday heroism.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Dramatic . . . well written and compassionate . . . a persuasive, sympathetic . . . insider's report on a broken system.”—Kirkus Reviews SEE LESS --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message
Recovery from trauma and its emanations is a defining theme of this moment. Dr. Thomas Fisher has certainly seen his share of the effects of mass disruption as an emergency medical physician. He typically has about three minutes to spend with patients who come into the South Side of Chicago ward where he works. Throughout his storied career, he's also served as a White House fellow in the Obama administration and as a healthcare executive. He writes about his experiences in “The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER.” Fisher joins us to talk about how our country's healthcare system often treats the poor as expendable, how the pandemic has exacerbated longstanding- and increasingly fraught- inequities in access to good healthcare and discusses the privilege of serving in the same community that he grew up in. This conversation is presented as part of NBC and MSNBC's cross-platform “Inspiring America” series, which highlights stories of people who've made an extraordinary impact on their communities and industries over the past year.

Evacuations are underway from the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol, where dozens of civilians who were holed up in and around the Azovstal steel plant have emerged. But hundreds more remain, running out of food, water, and medicine. Mariupol's mayor says the Russian forces are creating obstacles and making progress on evacuations difficult. Journalist Peter Pomerantsev is an expert on Russian propaganda, and he recently spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He joins the program from Lithuania.

For the past twenty years, Dr. Thomas Fisher has worked in the emergency department at the University of Chicago Medical Center, serving the same South Side community in which he was raised. During the past two years of COVID-19, he decided to write about his experience in a large urban hospital emergency room. He says that at the end of a shift he was haunted by the confusion in the eyes of his patients. He asks a couple of questions that they probably are thinking: Who is this man treating them from behind a mask? Why do they have to wait so many hours to be treated? Dr. Fisher attempts to answer these and many other questions in his book "The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER." Learn more about your ad choices.

Thomas Fisher's new book, “The Emergency,” details his life as an emergency physician at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he's worked for 20 years. It provides an up-close look at a hospital during the pandemic, and also zooms out to address the systemic issues that afflict American health care.“This book was conceptualized prior to Covid,” Fisher says on this week's podcast. “But Covid laid bare so much of what I intended to discuss from the beginning. So in some ways it was weirdly fortuitous. It gave the opportunity to discuss many of the details in much more vivid relief because we had this pandemic laying out all the things that have been a problem for so long.”The critic and essayist Maud Newton's first book, “Ancestor Trouble,” details her investigations into her family's fascinating and sometimes discomfiting history, and reflects on our culture's increased obsession with genealogy.“Allowing ourselves to really imagine our ancestors, in all of their fullness — the difficult and bad things that they did, and of course the wonderful things that they did — can just be a really transformative experience,” Newton says. “I've come to find that the line between imagination and spirituality has become a lot more porous over the course of writing this book.”Also on this week's episode, Dwight Garner and Molly Young talk about books they've recently reviewed. John Williams is the host.We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general. You can send them to books@nytimes.com.

Today’s sermonette based on John 1:19-34 is given by Rev. Thomas Fisher. This is a rebroadcast from February 5, 2016.
Teague and Tom chat about Pebblebrook's COVID impact, current cash burn, and transactions pre and post COVID.
When Covid-19 first started appearing in the United States, it was perceived as an illness that affected travelers, like Tom Hanks. Soon, though, it became clear the disease was infecting people of color more than any other group. Black people are 3.5 times more likely to die of the virus than white people, and Latino people are nearly twice as likely to die, according to researchers at Yale and the University of Pittsburgh. Why is this? Part of the problem is that racism is embedded in the country’s health care system. Raegan McDonald-Mosley, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of Maryland, and Thomas Fisher, emergency medical physician at the University of Chicago, speak with Maria Hinojosa, anchor and executive producer of NPR’s Latino USA, about American racism through the lens of Covid-19. The views and opinions of the speakers in the podcast do not necessarily reflect those of the Aspen Institute.
Today’s sermonette based on John 1:19-34 is given by Rev. Thomas Fisher of Faith Lutheran Church in Elma, New York. This is a rebroadcast from February 5, 2016.
In this episode, host David Anger welcomes Thomas Fisher to discuss his passion for design, architecture in the Twin Cities, and the future state of development.
Is content king? Fisher argues data alone can lead us astray, instead, it is the story we should focus on. With a presentation loaded with artwork and visuals, Fisher hopes to teach statistic savvy security responders to see the bigger picture. What patterns appear when we take a step back? What narrative does the evidence summon? Question your answers and dive into this discussion with Chris and Martin.
In Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt, the Supreme Court has overturned a 40-year-old precedent in a case that changes the relationship between the states in our federalist structure of government. Indiana Solicitor General Fisher was counsel of record for an amicus brief of 44 states asking the Court to overturn Nevada v. Hall. In the Franchise Tax Board case, California believed that Gilbert Hyatt had evaded California taxes by falsely claiming to have moved to Nevada before he did. The California officials entered Nevada and Hyatt alleges that they committed fraud and other torts against him while in Nevada. He sued those California officials in Nevada’s courts and won almost a half billion dollar award (although that was later reduced to about a hundred thousand dollars). But is it proper for one state to sit in judgment on the official actions of officers of other states? Nevada v. Hall allowed this, but the Supreme Court has now decided that states are constitutionally required to give other states’ official acts sovereign immunity even when it occurs within the "host" state’s borders. Solicitor General Fisher will explain why and implications for this case to the future of the law.Featuring:Hon.

Welcome to the Design Thinking podcast! I’m Dawan Stanford, your host. Jess Roberts joins me today for a conversation about the designer’s role in healthcare, problem-finding with healthcare experts, the importance of the design studio in his work, and design thinking in public health. Jess leads the Culture of Health By Design initiative of the Minnesota Design Center at the University of Minnesota. He also holds faculty appointments at the University of Minnesota’s School of Nursing and School of Public Health. After receiving a master’s in architecture, Jess found that the practice was incredibly technical and had very little to do with his education in the field. He also found that he had very little space to practice problem solving, because what he did was just responding to decisions that had already been made. He realized how much more useful what the did would be if it occurred at the beginning of the decision-making process than at the end. Jess realized that he didn’t want to be an architecture at all, but wanted to put his valuable training to good use. He stumbled across design thinking, which put a language to what he had been doing. After landing an appointment that involved human-centered design, Jess found himself surrounded by naturally skeptical epidemiologists. Tune into the episode to learn about how this worked out for him!In this compelling conversation, you’ll learn about the importance of using design at the right stage of the process. Jess will also explore one of the greatest fallacies of innovation: that great ideas just suddenly pop up. We’ll talk about the process of design (and why it is a process rather than a toolkit), what he’s most excited about working on right now, and much more. Learn More About Today’s Guest Jess Roberts on LinkedIn In This Episode [01:44] — Jess kicks things off by talking about his journey into his design practice, and explaining his struggles with architecture. [06:38] — About two months into Jess’ appointment at his position, the only person who knew what human-centered design is left. [08:36] — We hear more about how Jess made what he does more relevant to his audience in this position. [15:48] — You should always start with what is known, Jess points out, and explains that design opens the question of “what could be?” [18:29] — Jess digs more into his experience of learning to think about design as more than just building. [22:09] — We hear about having moved into an interconnected, virtual realm of mass customization. Jess also talks about the importance of figuring out what people want or need, and three key insights into parents. [30:28] — At the end of the short engagement that Jess has been describing, the project was terminated. [31:30] — Dawan takes a minute to talk about the outcome and unpack some of what Jess has been saying. [32:09] — What was it about the new evidence that allowed for a shift and reframing of what needed to happen? [34:51] — Jess points out that too often, design is used to sell or convince stakeholders that an approach or product is necessary. [36:25] — Dawan chats about the problem space and the solution space. Jess then talks about one of the greatest fallacies of innovation. [41:08] — We hear about the three key spaces that people operate in within Jess’ line of work. [46:14] — Jess talks about the process of design. [50:46] — Dawan brings up the topic of the role of the designer, and how that role adapts itself to the context. [55:06] — We hear more about Jess’ thoughts on sharing the role of designer with the community. [58:01] — In the work that Jess is currently doing in public health, what is he most excited about?

Welcome to the Design Thinking podcast! I'm Dawan Stanford, your host. Jess Roberts joins me today for a conversation about the designer's role in healthcare, problem-finding with healthcare experts, the importance of the design studio in his work, and design thinking in public health. Jess leads the Culture of Health By Design initiative of the Minnesota Design Center at the University of Minnesota. He also holds faculty appointments at the University of Minnesota's School of Nursing and School of Public Health. After receiving a master's in architecture, Jess found that the practice was incredibly technical and had very little to do with his education in the field. He also found that he had very little space to practice problem solving, because what he did was just responding to decisions that had already been made. He realized how much more useful what the did would be if it occurred at the beginning of the decision-making process than at the end. Jess realized that he didn't want to be an architecture at all, but wanted to put his valuable training to good use. He stumbled across design thinking, which put a language to what he had been doing. After landing an appointment that involved human-centered design, Jess found himself surrounded by naturally skeptical epidemiologists. Tune into the episode to learn about how this worked out for him!In this compelling conversation, you'll learn about the importance of using design at the right stage of the process. Jess will also explore one of the greatest fallacies of innovation: that great ideas just suddenly pop up. We'll talk about the process of design (and why it is a process rather than a toolkit), what he's most excited about working on right now, and much more. Learn More About Today's Guest Jess Roberts on LinkedIn In This Episode [01:44] — Jess kicks things off by talking about his journey into his design practice, and explaining his struggles with architecture. [06:38] — About two months into Jess' appointment at his position, the only person who knew what human-centered design is left. [08:36] — We hear more about how Jess made what he does more relevant to his audience in this position. [15:48] — You should always start with what is known, Jess points out, and explains that design opens the question of “what could be?” [18:29] — Jess digs more into his experience of learning to think about design as more than just building. [22:09] — We hear about having moved into an interconnected, virtual realm of mass customization. Jess also talks about the importance of figuring out what people want or need, and three key insights into parents. [30:28] — At the end of the short engagement that Jess has been describing, the project was terminated. [31:30] — Dawan takes a minute to talk about the outcome and unpack some of what Jess has been saying. [32:09] — What was it about the new evidence that allowed for a shift and reframing of what needed to happen? [34:51] — Jess points out that too often, design is used to sell or convince stakeholders that an approach or product is necessary. [36:25] — Dawan chats about the problem space and the solution space. Jess then talks about one of the greatest fallacies of innovation. [41:08] — We hear about the three key spaces that people operate in within Jess' line of work. [46:14] — Jess talks about the process of design. [50:46] — Dawan brings up the topic of the role of the designer, and how that role adapts itself to the context. [55:06] — We hear more about Jess' thoughts on sharing the role of designer with the community. [58:01] — In the work that Jess is currently doing in public health, what is he most excited about? [60:22] — Where can listeners learn more? Are there any resources that Jess would recommend? [63:44] — Jess shares some closing words of wisdom for listeners.
