Editor’s Note: Due to technical difficulties, the conversation with Dr. Ofri is being rescheduled for a later date.

Every day, medical staff treat patients in hospitals around the country for a variety of conditions. However, the novel coronavirus pandemic is changing the routine as the focus shifts to caring for patients with COVID-19 and trying to prevent the spread of infection.

Dr. Danielle Ofri, a physician at Bellevue Hospital in New York City, recently wrote about her experience testing patients for COVID-19 and her frustration at the role of politics in this public health crisis. “We want rational policy, not meaningless fluff,” she said. “We don’t have time for this.”

Kerri Miller will talk with Ofri about her experience during the pandemic, the role of public health and her latest book, “When We Do Harm.”

Guest:

  • Dr. Danielle Ofri is a physician at Bellevue Hospital, a faculty member at the NYU School of Medicine and the author of several books including her latest, “When We Do Harm:  A Doctor Confronts Medical Error.”
