The Good Doctor

Ariel Lefkowitz’s memoir “Fourteen Days on the Covid Ward” was a candid and emotional account of what it was like to oversee Covid-positive patients at Sunnybrook. Here’s a sampling of reader responses:

“Thank you for publishing this article. While most of us are trying to protect ourselves by staying home, this diary underscored the need for us to do what we can to stop the spread of the virus.

“What was most striking was the humanity of our first responders. They are also husbands, wives, sons and daughters who suffer real stresses, both in their professional capacities and their personal lives. The terrific writing was a bonus, showing us how lucky we are to be served by doctors of this calibre.”

—Louise Novis

“So much respect and gratitude to this doctor and all the front-line workers putting themselves at risk to care for us all.”

—Melanie Book, Facebook

“A great look at the lives of those who are helping us heal. The team at Sunnybrook is incredible, and we are grateful for your dedication and work.”
