Stories from a Pandemic: 8. Insomnia The Nocturnists

    • Medicine

The mass media portrays us as “healthcare heroes,” or soldiers fighting a battle. For some people this language may ring true, but for others, it feels wrong.
This week you’ll hear voices from diarists based in California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. They include a geriatrician, a pediatric and an adult emergency physicians, an ER nurse, a hospitalist and historian of medicine, and two medical students.
*This episode includes themes of mental health crises and suicidal actions. Listener discretion is advised.
