Stories from a Pandemic: 9. Bad Trip

It takes surprisingly little for the human psyche to come undone. We know that the virus can’t survive when we isolate ourselves, but can we survive the isolation?

Today’s voices include an ER nurse, a medical student, a geriatrician, a maternal and fetal medicine fellow, a vaccine trial subject, a primary care doctor, a pediatrics medical resident, as well as some unexpected voices.

This episode features Bill Conti’s Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky).

Hosted by Emily Silverman

Produced by Emily Silverman and Adelaide Papazoglou
