Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Christopher Markus Colbert discuss the following:

1. Every day you walk into the ER, you face the unknown. But since the pandemic, you sort of know that no matter what that day you will be facing down the belly of the beast when you walk in those doors. How do you deal with that mentally?
2. What are you doing to keep your mental health intact? What is your advice to others in the medical field?
3. If you could give our listeners three pieces of advice and/or recommendations regarding the pandemic, what would they be?
4. How will the way we look at hospitals in the future change? Do you think this is good or bad?
5. What have you learned about yourself and/or your colleagues during this time?
