John Liang, MD, left, with staff at Mount Sinai West
John Liang, MD, is one of our Neuroscience ICU Intensivists. He has been on call for the last two weeks. As if one week of call in a busy ICU isn’t enough, he has been rounding for the last two weeks during one of the most critical times, both within this hospital and globally due to the coronavirus pandemic. Throughout this time, he has been instrumental in disseminating process-related information as well as clinical education so that the entire staff of nurses and advanced care providers can acclimate themselves to taking care of a population that we normally do not encounter on a daily basis. Dr. Liang has stayed alongside his staff during the exhausting 12-14 hour shifts every single day.
Above all, the efforts he and his wife have been going through to ensure donated proper protective equipment reached the hands of the nurses, will never be forgotten. He has selflessly helped limit the exposure of staff who have babies and children at home so that we can all stay healthy for ourselves, our families, and our patients.
Thank you so very much, Dr. Liang, for sharing your knowledge, providing us with protective equipment and food/snacks to get through the day, and for being a leader during this challenging time for all of us.
