'Everyone is strained, but we’ve risen to the challenge. We were looking into the valley of chaos, but we found order.'

Today, we spoke with vascular surgeon Gary Gwertzman, who, like countless other health-care workers in New York, has left his area of specialty to focus entirely on COVID-19 patients.
Everybody knew this was coming, but no one knew who was going to get hit hard. And then it became apparent after a few days, about two weeks ago, that the hot spots in New York City initially were Brooklyn and Queens. Once that became apparent, that chairman of surgery over at the main Mount Sinai started talking to me almost every day — three, four times a day. And what he managed to do is organize these surgeons’ skills and deploy those passionate people throughout the health-care system.
There’s been a lot of hit jobs on hospitals. It’s not really fair. Here, at every level, we’re working on PPE, we’re working on all these things. Sure, there’s a lot more intensive care and a lot more codes, but if you walked into our hospital right now, you would see order. Everyone is strained, but we’ve risen to the challenge. We were looking into the valley of chaos, but we found order.
