Coldness and kindness from an ER doctor

Writer Frank Huyer is also an ER physician and reads a piece from his most recent book https://www.harpercollins.com/products/white-hot-light-frank-huyler?variant=32207367045154 (White Hot Light: Twenty Five Years in Emergency Medicine). It is a meditation on loneliness and a candid look both the coldness and kindness of humanity, not just in others but also within ourselves. This is an interview he did with https://pen.org/the-pen-ten-frank-huyler/ (Pen America) where he discusses the role of censorship in medicine during the Covid-19 pandemic that he touches on at the end of our conversation.
