The Distancing of Surgeon From Patient in the Era of COVID-19: Bring on the Innovation	2020-04-13		.txt	text/plain	1305	117	79	title: The Distancing of Surgeon From Patient in the Era of COVID-19: Bring on the Innovation Less than a week after breaking stories of overrun hospitals in Italy, the virus had reached the east coast of the United States and our patients were showing signs of fever and respiratory compromise. Three patients on the transplant service were being ruled out for COVID-19. In the first room, I could see two astronaut-like ICU team members sewing in a newly placed subclavian line. Like most ICU patients, ours had about a half-dozen doctors. Now in BCT, there were barriers between the surgeons and the patients. I looked at the list of people who had been to see our patient since his BCT admission. While surgical examination will of course continue in the days after COVID-19, it has become clear that innovation is key to our future as surgeons.	./cache/cord-312012-6a7i72bk.txt	./txt/cord-312012-6a7i72bk.txt
