The recent COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every facet of life and placed a significant strain on healthcare resources worldwide. One of the emerging themes of medicine's response to the outbreak is doing more with less. In certain parts of the world, the toll on healthcare workers has been immense, and practicing outside one's traditional scope and comfort zone has become the rule rather than the exception. For Radiology as a discipline, the stress of COVID-19 may be comparatively small when measured against the frontline physicians and nurses in the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit. Still, it is incumbent upon all disciplines to learn and grow from the challenges encountered during this crisis.
最近的新冠疫情影响了生活的方方面面,给全球医疗资源带来了巨大压力。医学应对疫情的一个新趋势是用更少的资源做更多的事。在世界某些地区,医护人员承受的压力巨大,超出传统范围和舒适区开展工作已成为常态而非例外。对于放射学科而言,与急诊科和重症监护病房的一线医生和护士相比,新冠疫情带来的压力可能相对较小。然而,所有学科都有责任从这场危机中遇到的挑战中学习并成长。
