“They will tire out within a few hours.

“Before Covid-19, I would recommend putting you

“I know when to put in a breathing tube.

I've worked long enough, and I've worked enough places

But in this disease, it is extremely confusing, you know,

Listen, I stocked up for the apocalypse, like most people.

On a normal day in an I.C.U., you have very sick patients.

Patients will — are dying, but this is just different.
