Main takeaway - “gendered” reactions to pandemic - (male) doctors felt sense of failure from inability to “cure” disease and from death of patients, while (female) nurses were able to care for (nurture) the ill regardless of outcome - even if patient died, nurse had done her job to best of ability. Not sure if this was worth the read. Still looking for something will tell me why this pandemic seems to have fallen into a memory hole for American society. This wasn't it.
