COVID-19 frontline health care heroes
We salute the health professionals committed to applying their knowledge and skills when needed, though doing so may put them at risk.

First and foremost is the obligation to "provide urgent medical care during disasters," an obligation that holds "even in the face of greater than usual risk to physicians' own safety, health or life." —AMA Code of Medical Ethics, Opinion 8.3 (Photo courtesy Jason Imperato, MD)

"I feel lucky to have this mask. Not all frontline health care workers have one. I put my name on it so I don’t lose it." @BonKu
Rosine Sarah Rosanel, MD
"Last night I put down my cardiology hat to be an attending/hospitalist in my hospital leading codes & rapid responses. All hands on deck to fight covid19." @DrRosanel
Cornelia Griggs, MD
"My babies are too young to read this now. And they’d barely recognize me in my gear. But if they lose me to COVID I want them to know Mommy tried really hard to do her job." @CorneliaLG
Brandi Ring, MD
"Rocking the seahorse cloth mask as a droplet cover today to prolong my PPE for those who need it more. Thank you to all my other docs out there!" @Dr_B_Ring
Georgetown University School of Medicine
"As physicians, we are bound in our response by a common heritage of caring for the sick and the suffering. Through the centuries, individual physicians have fulfilled this obligation by applying their skills and knowledge competently, selflessly and at times heroically." —AMA Declaration of Professional Responsibility (Photo courtesy Adrian Cotarelo, @AdrianCotarelo)
