An Eschatological Isolation: a resident physician’s reflections from the Coronavirus pandemic by Ammura Hernandez MD
$19.99
“A book of emotional prose and brute fact, Dr. Hernandez shows us what it was like to live through the first throes of the pandemic, through the tired eyes of a newly-minted physician. From the exceptional to the mundane, these quotidian stories from the front lines grapple with the loneliness and isolation of quarantine while taking care of our sickest sick, and remind us that we cannot forget what happened.”
–Ajay Major, MD, MBA, founder and editor-in-chief emeritus of in-Training
“Dr. Ammura Hernandez has sensitively documented the disruptions , fears, and psychological effects of the few months of the corona epidemic in a book written to honor those whose lives were taken by the coronavirus, those whose livelihood was affected by it, and those in the frontlines who took up the fight against it.”
–George Dunea MD, FACP, FRCP, FASN, President and CEO, Hektoen Institute of Medicine, Editor-in-Chief, Hektoen International
“An absorbing diary and meditation on the Covid pandemic by a doctor in training as she witnessed it firsthand, and a narrative of her sometimes fraught romance during Covid.”
–Felice Aull, author of Mandatory Evacuation Zone, and founder of the NYU Literature, Arts, and Medicine Database
