Reviews
""Rodriquez subtly takes us inside two hospitals in suburban Massachusetts to explore the lives of health care professionals caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. He effectively illuminates how nurses, doctors, and hospital staff handled risks, treatments, and the emotional burdens of their work. Among the many virtues of the book is that it illuminates the terrible psychological toll that the pandemic took on health care professionals."" -- Robert W. Snyder * author of When the City Stopped: Stories from New York's Essential Workers * ""On the Frontlines of Crisis captures the affective and workday responses of clinicians as they experienced a crisis in which little was then known about what they were seeing in their patients, what they could do, and how to balance their commitment to their patients and the safety of themselves and their families in the face of a yet- unknown infectious disease. Rodriquez answers what it was really like."" -- Patricia D'Antonio * author of Nursing with a Message: Public Health Demonstration Projects in New York City *
