Book excerpt: Following the Spanish flu a group of doctors and nuns banded together to found a hospital to prepare for the next pandemic. It took a hundred years, but when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Holy Name Hospital found itself at ground zero. In the Time of Covid highlights the innovation, creativity and help from unexpected people and places that allowed the hospital to secure PPE and equipment, completely redesign the hospital, handle the growing number of dead, and treat what seemed like unending waves of new Covid-19 patients. Using stories to illustrate his points, Dr. Jarret uses easy to understand language to weave in information on the origins of Covid-19, current treatments and studies, lessons learned and how his hospital dealt with the onslaught of Covid-19 cases. A must read for anyone wanting to know more about Covid-19 and its impact on us all.
