| The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemichas created unique staffing pressures on emergency departments (EDs) as a result of many staff beingrequired to self-isolate due to travel, symptoms, contact,or proven COVID-19 infection. In addition to those staffwho are unable to work due to self-isolation, our Division of Paediatric Emergency Medicine decided to insulate our at-risk staff physicians who were over 60 years ofage, had significant comorbidities, or were pregnant. Understandably, during a health care crisis, the loss ofthese valuable staff members shifts the burden onto there maining frontline health care providers. Additionally,the displacement and sudden lack of perceived purposecan be frustrating to those who are used to providing direct clinical care and who want to help with the crisis. While virtual care has been heralded as a solution in many out patient environments, it is more challenging in an ED because the clinician has no prior rapport with the patient, the patient problems are typicallyhigher risk, and the physical exam component of a patientassess ment is often essential to making an accurate diagnosis. | |
