- Education
In literally minute-by-minute, life and death situations, healthcare providers around the world are putting their own lives at risk as they answer the call to treat overwhelming numbers of Coronavirus patients. The situation is nowhere more challenging than in New York State, Long Island and here in Stony Brook, where medical professionals have been keeping pace with the surge day by day. On this episode of “Beyond the Expected," hosted by Interim President MIchael Bernstein, Stony Brook University Hospital attending physicians share their personal experiences of being infected by, and recovering from, COVID-19, in this environment, and Stony Brook University Hospital’s Medical Director of Healthcare Epidemiology provides her expert opinions on how to stop the spread among patients and providers.
