Abstract

Physicians and nurses have received many accolades in commercial and scientific media for their heroic efforts in caring for patients with COVID-19. These accolades are appropriate and deserved. However, there are a number of clinical pharmacists involved in the daily care of patients who are caring and competent practitioners, and also deserve our thanks and praise. The purpose of this article is to provide the impactful comments of a front-line, critical care pharmacist dedicated to providing the best possible care for patients with COVID-19 in a medical intensive care unit.
