You can read his New Yorker articles here (www.newyorker.com/contributors/dhruv-khullar) “We’re taking all available precautions that we can, but there’s no doubt that there’s some level of risk. I’m just blown away by the level of professionalism of our nurses and our doctors and respiratory therapists and PAs that get up and go to work and assume that risk to care for their patients.” -- Dhruv Khullar Thanks to nThrive for sponsoring this episode.
