In this Grand Rounds, Dr. Wes Ely of Vanderbilt University will describe the challenges being experienced by clinicians as they care for patients during the Covid pandemic. Focusing on the ICU, he will describe a scientifically proven method for resurrecting our humanism and dignity in the face of the myriad hardships posed by the pandemic. He’ll discuss the power of the human story in highlighting and addressing patient suffering, offer a strategy for rebuilding what was lost during the pandemic, and propose a path forward.
