This afternoon I spoke on several issues that influence our thought processes when we see patients with Covid19- in the community, in the hospital OPD, wards or ICUs. How should we design our therapy? Should we allow ourselves to prescribe untested and unproven therapies because the atmosphere is filled with fear, desperation and panic? What do we owe to the patient? And to the society? Is research a luxury when the pandemic is on? How best can we hold our patients, assuring and comforting them as they struggle to cope with the illness?
