Doctors Coping with COVID, Part 2
In part two of our series, we examine why more doctors don’t seek help, and the costly consequences that distress can have.
Coronavirus Coverage
As COVID-19 continues to challenge health care systems around the world and upend our daily lives, we’ve turned our attention to reporting on the pandemic and how it is impacting people, policy and money, with our eye always on the research.
Instead of dropping new episodes every other week, we are releasing two episodes each week.
Our coverage will feature conversations with people from across the health care spectrum making difficult decisions in this rapidly evolving situation (previously released as “Coronavirus Conversations”), as well as more in-depth stories that look at the many policy implications of this pandemic.
If you have a personal story of a tough choice you’re grappling with or an idea for an upcoming episode you’d like to share, you can email us at info@tradeoffs.org.
