Publisher's Synopsis
COVIDSLAYERS is a must read for every American and all who have been directly or indirectly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVIDSLAYERS brings to the surface the heroism and professionalism of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare personnel - the only source of inspiration during this pandemic. It depicts how they went above and beyond the call of duty in the face of adversity for their fellow Americans. The book is inspired by stories, events, and people that influence American lives everyday but are lost in the maze and cacophony of the superficial and make-believe. It brings you face-to-face with the stoicism and resilience of healthcare warriors, the courage and brilliance of Americans in white coats and scrubs, and their compassion and sacrifice in the face of anguish and pain which is raw and difficult to ignore.
COVIDSLAYERS portrays triumph of good over evil. The book is a story of the war against the COVID-19 pandemic from the frontlines and from war rooms. It is a unique perspective from a practicing physician and a physician leader - and those of his colleagues at various hospitals and medical practices.
COVIDSLAYERS provides to the reader a firsthand account from the inside, taking the reader for a thrilling and emotional ride that is sure to challenge the reader's sensibilities. Devoid of excessive medical jargon, the fast pace of this hard to put down quick read is maintained by the author's deft use of simple, yet pointed language to narrate the tale, toll, and trajectory of the pandemic.
COVIDSLAYERS takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride that no one would expect from a book on a pandemic or healthcare. This apolitical book also talks about how the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weaknesses of the U.S. healthcare system. Did the U.S. healthcare system fail its fearless healthcare warriors? Did the healthcare system fail Americans? The book shows how a bloated healthcare administration has incapacitated a healthcare system that has been the envy of the world. The pandemic is raging, especially in the U.S. Will the second surge be worse than the first surge? Will there be a third surge? With more than 240,000 Americans dead in just 9 months of this pandemic, will we allow more American lives to be devoured by this pandemic? Are we going to succumb or surrender or are we going to rise together as Americans and defeat this virus?
COVIDSLAYERS provides and explains strategies to contain and defeat this virus - some of them that are tried and proven, some of them are innovative. It makes clear to the reader what needs to be done to prevent the virus from taking over our lives and our livelihoods.
