This is a very unusual time to be a healthcare professional, so I thought I'd document some experiences and thoughts on a set of nightshifts as a heart doctor on call at a major cardiac centre during the coronavirus pandemic. The video explores how COVID-19 has already changed medicine and how things might never be the same.
PSA: Just because someone makes 2 vlogs, that does *NOT* make them a vlogger. Refer to me as such and my famously sunny disposition might slip.
