    Pandemic and Persona.

    Fascinating introspection from an experienced psychiatrist on the ways the pandemic has subtly (and perhaps not-so-subtly) changed his interactions with patients and his perspective on his role as caregiver.

    "...among the many unknown — and potentially positive — outcomes of the pandemic, one may be the more widespread realization that “acting like a doctor” ideally involves less acting and more authenticity."
