The
REALITY of COVID in HOSPITALS
Report from an
Anesthesiologist on the Front Line
|
|
|
|
Anesthesiologists have
been called to the front lines of the
COVID-19 war for a vital and dangerous
job. From intubating ventilator tubes into
COVID patients to treating the most
critical cases admitted to intensive care
units, these lesser-known doctors have
accepted this challenging assignment with
a shortage of equipment and at the risk of
their own health.
When a COVID-19 patients can no
longer survive breathing on their own,
anesthesiologists are called on to
intubate them. This is what makes them
crucial in this fight. It takes guts and
dedication to insert an endotracheal tube
through the mouth and into the airway of a
patient infected with a highly contagious
disease. No wonder that the
anesthesiologists are called 'physicians
with the nerves of steel.' —dailyrounds.org
Dr. Mark Suojanen joins the Cigar Society to
report on the reality of COVID in hospitals
from his vantage point at the front line of the
pandemic.

About the
Cigar Society of Chicago
ONE OF THE OLDEST
AND greatest traditions of the
city clubs of Chicago is the
discussion of intellectual,
social, legal, artistic,
historical, scientific, musical,
theatrical, and philosophical
issues in the company of educated,
bright, and appropriately
provocative individuals, all under
the beneficent influence of
substantial amounts of tobacco and
spirits. The Cigar
Society of Chicago
embraces this tradition and
extends it with its Informal
Smokers, University
Series lectures, and Cigar
Society Dinners, in which
cigars, and from time to time
pipes and cigarettes, appear as an
important component of our version
of the classical symposium.

Society's mailing list, write to
