“Tonight, I realized a patient was likely going to die within the next few minutes from complications of COVID-19. As I glanced at the 12 IV pumps running, including three maxed out pressors to support his blood pressure, I realized there was absolutely nothing I could do.

And sadly, I had to say no.””
