Summary
In this article, published by Diagnosis, Linden Brown reflects on his time working with COVID-19 patients. He recalls an incident where a case of sepsis was nearly missed due to what he calls 'COVID-blindness'.
"In the panic of quarantine and isolation precautions, we put on cognitive blinders to our bread and butter: sepsis. Had this patient come into the hospital 2 weeks prior, he would likely have been placed on antibiotics immediately."
