As the first wave of COVID-19 cases hit the US, severe respiratory distress dominated conversations about treating the disease. Dr. Andrea Levine, a Pulmonary Critical Care physician at the University of Maryland and program director of their Critical Care Medicine Fellowship shares her experience as a respiratory expert on the front line of the pandemic. While alarmingly ill patients flooded the ICU, Dr. Levine was reminded to lean on her knowledge of evidence-based medicine over the “social media-based medicine” prevalent during the first few weeks of the crisis. This episode discusses the limitations of care when resources are scarce, the importance of patient-centered care, and how the healthcare system can rebuild trust with patients and physicians.
