In the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline healthcare workers are having to work under particularly intense stress levels. They must work in makeshift settings created to handle the overflow of patients from intensive care units, sometimes with inadequate access to optimal protective equipment. They often need to cover additional shifts to compensate for the absence of their colleagues who have become ill or who are quarantined. They must quickly adapt to medical interventions as they are asked to intervene outside of their typical area of medical expertise. Day after day, they must optimize the treatment of patients with COVID-19 and make complicated clinical and ethical decisions that affect the mortality of their patients, at unprecedented rates.
