Episode 44 – Fighting COVID-19 Together with Dr. Michael Litt and Christy Landy

In this episode, Mike is joined by his two good friends, Christy Landy RN, CSN, CEN, a registered nurse in the emergency room, and Dr. Michael Litt MD, PhD an internal medical resident. Both are currently treating and managing COVID-19 patients at Brigham Women’s Hospital in Boston Massachusetts and joined the show to share their experiences and perspective on the pandemic. They provide sound advice on if wearing gloves and masks for the general public are necessary, if the hype around malaria drugs to treat COVID-19 are warranted, how COVID-19 leads to respiratory and cardiac compromise, and the importance of social distancing. This episode was filmed on 4/1/20 and things the situation in Boston has already changed a bunch since then in regards to COVID-19!

Hope you enjoy!
