Dr. Jessi Gold and the Precarious Mental Health of the Medical Profession

How Do You Feel? is the title of Dr. Jessi Gold’s new
memoir about her life as a psychiatrist dealing with her own
mental health and the health of other medical providers during
the first wave of the covid pandemic. The answer to the question
the title poses would be, “Not very good at all.” Dr. Gold
profiles composites of several patients in the medical profession
who felt the need to be perfect, to be superhuman, to not let
anything get to them, only to find that everyone has limits and
vulnerabilities, including Jessi herself.
