This is the story of a patient fleeing Nazi Germany by boat as a young girl, her family left alone because they already had passports stamped to leave. Before she passed away from chronic kidney disease, I asked if I could share her story. This is my tribute to her on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, a memory of breakfast with my Oma (grandma) as she started to tell us her story of the ship. We love you so much, rest in peace.

Just a few days after giving birth, this family medicine resident doctor reads her letter to her daughter out loud. They walked protests together -- with baby still in her belly. This is about 2020 not just as the pandemic, but also as protests for black lives and against police brutality.

Can you imagine spending coronavirus shutdown with your girlfriend's or boyfriend's family? This medical student did just that. Then his Step 1 exam, an 8-hour SAT on steroids, got postponed indefinitely. The test is hundreds of dollars, looming over students all year to potentially decide their specialty. While waiting, he helped his hospital connect online about the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. He wrote haikus for that website, and tells his story here.

In the search for a COVID-19 vaccine, there is much to learn behind the scenes. A veterinarian reflects on the credit they will deserve, and when animals need to be involved. "We would do this any other way. But sometimes this is the right way to get the answers we so desperately need. And for that reason, we’re here to take care of those animals."
