An endless hurricane: Study probes mental toll as medical staff battle COVID-19
ToI speaks with doctors on the frontlines who, after witnessing unprecedented horrors, must isolate from families. Duke University researchers seek to ease their unavoidable trauma
By Cathryn J. Prince Today, 11:47 pm toi-apr 28,2020+
NEW YORK — Sometime during his 12-hour shift Dr. Ram Roth will stand at an intubated patient’s bedside, take out his PPE-wrapped phone and dial. Although the ventilator and heavy sedation have rendered the patient mute, Roth knows it’s essential for family members to see their loved one and whisper words of encouragement. He’ll do that again and again, making sure each family on the outside has a chance to connect with their loved one on the inside.“The patients are all alone and that adds another complicated layer to what we’re doing; not just for me but for everyone treating coronavirus patients,” said Roth, a Jewish anesthesiologist at Mount Sinai Queens hospital.Roth, who now works primarily in the intensive care units, is one of the thousands of front-line healthcare workers treating patients hospitalized with COVID-19. It’s a job that requires performing in a constant state of high alert each and every shift. It means watching patients die solitary and, at times, excruciating deaths, and worrying about becoming infected and possibly infecting one’s own family. It also could mean living apart from one’s family to keep them safe.Dr. Ram Roth on shift at Mount Sinai Hospital, Queens. (Courtesy Ram Roth) Each of these issues alone would be enough to add to the already significant stress. But not a single healthcare worker has the luxury of worrying about just one issue.“It does weigh,” Roth said, speaking with The Times of Israel while on break during a shift. “This is an ongoing situation with no end in sight. A hurricane comes in and leaves and then you can deal with the consequences. But this — this has no clear end.”6. A hurricane comes in and leaves and then you can deal with the consequences. But this — this has no clear endBut for when it does eventually end, researchers from the Duke Clinical Research Institute want to know how treating COVID-19 patients impacted the physical and mental health of front-line healthcare workers such as Roth. Last week they launched the Healthcare Worker Exposure Response & Outcomes, or HERO Research Program. The national registry is the first-ever study to identify and enroll those working on the pandemic’s front line.Dr. Adrian Hernandez, lead investigator of HERO and vice dean for clinical research at Duke University School of Medicine. (Tom Fuldner)“We want to help articulate the problems they’re facing and help facilitate strategies to improve their health and well being,” said Dr. Adrian Hernandez, HERO’s principal investigator and vice dean for clinical research at Duke University School of Medicine in North Carolina. “It’s impacting them emotionally, mentally, physically and socially. It’s affecting them personally, and their families too. We need to understand all that.”So far about 7,000 healthcare workers from all 50 states have registered. Healthcare workers taking part in HERO will also be enrolled in studies where they will have first access to drugs that could protect them from the coronavirus.“Working in a sustained high-stress environment means a constant release of cortisol and ephedrine, the fight or flight hormones,” said Dr. Michael Grosso, chief medical officer at Huntington Hospital, part of Northwell Health system. “When that happens your pupils dilate, your heart rate increases; all the things you need to run away from a saber-toothed tiger. But sustained exposure to this carries risks0”Dr. Michael Grosso, chief medical officer, Huntington Hospital, Northwell Health. (Courtesy Northwell Health) Those risks include cardiovascular complications, increased risk of ischemic heart disease, anxiety, depression and an increased or exacerbated risk for substance abuse, said Grosso, who is a pediatrician.Working in heightened state of vigilance can also interfere with sleep.“We know sleep is critical to staying healthy, but the adrenaline for those working on COVID units is going at a fantastic rate all day and so then, even if someone is exhausted, they can’t sleep. Or, they have nightmares about what they saw during the day,” said Dr. Sharon Slater, a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotrauma and crisis relief.Slater, who lives and practices in Israel, is part of a group of experienced mental health professionals who are volunteering their time to provide emotional support to American healthcare workers. The telehealth program consists of two to three sessions where healthcare workers can learn specific techniques about stress management.Of course it’s not only what the healthcare workers face at work — people dying around them while simultaneously keeping their own fears in check — it’s having to deal with stress outside of work; lockdown affects their own families.In Roth’s case being a front-line healthcare worker means he and his wife, who is also a physician, now live in a neighbor’s apartment across the hall from their two youngest children, who are 13 and 16. Roth’s sister-in-law came and moved in with the kids to help. Their two older children, 23 and 26, are living elsewhere.The table outside Dr. Ram Roth’s apartment from which he and his wife, also a physician, shared a socially distant Seder with their children. (Ram Roth) On Passover, Roth and his wife set up table in the hallway just outside the door to their own apartment so they could share a socially distant Seder with their kids. They now eat dinner in the same manner most nights.“We chat and wave to our kids from a distance and we wear our masks,” he said.When Roth goes home after a shift he wants to unwind. But sometimes it’s hard.“We have many reasons for lack of sleep — thinking about camp, will there be camp for them? Will we get the illness or give the illness to our parents?” he said, adding that overall he and his wife feel “extremely fortunate to be healthy and all together — even though socially distant.”That uncertainty is one of the biggest sources of anxiety for people, healthcare workers included.Curtis Reisinger, PhD, director of Northwell Health’s employee assistance program. (Courtesy Northwell Health) “The virus is like a body snatcher, it’s like a bogey man. No know when it’s coming,” said Curtis Reisinger, PhD, director of Northwell Health’s employee assistance program.Aside from the uncertainty of living through a pandemic, many healthcare workers feel helpless knowing their patients are alone in the hospital.“You can’t invite relatives in to hold someone’s hand, to give a last kiss or say a last word,” Reisinger said. “That leaves the burden on the healthcare worker and they can get vicarious trauma from this sort of thing. Working in a situation like this can bring up past traumas, and we have to watch for that.”That’s the kind of thing the HERO study hopes to understand.The virus is like a body snatcher, it’s like a bogey manMeanwhile, as data is collected, healthcare workers should know there are ways to mitigate the stress, Reisinger said.Hospitals across the country, including Northwell Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens, are offering mindfulness training, as well as Zoom calls with psychiatrists and chaplains. Within hospitals there are also daily and weekly check-ins between residents and attending physicians.“We’re all overwhelmed now and we have to be mindful there are things we can’t control and just control what we can,” Roth said. “I truly believe we are all united in giving our best and I am proud of my institution.”

Yair Netanyahu slams ‘evil globalist’ EU for backing coexistence program-The Times of Isreal by Raphael Ahren and Jacob Magid 28 April 2020, 6:23 pm 4
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s elder son, Yair, on Tuesday condemned the European Union for supporting a joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day event the previous evening organized by bereaved parents on both sides of the conflict.“Shame on you for financing a disgrace in the holiest day of the Israeli calendar! We have one day in a year to remember our fallen soldiers! And you destroy it with a ‘memorial’ to Palestinian terrorists!” he wrote on his Twitter account, in response to a tweet by the official Twitter account of the EU’s mission in Ramat Gan.“EU is an enemy of Israel, and an enemy to all European Christian countries! Schengen zone is dead and soon your evil globalist organization will be too, and Europe will return to be free, democratic and Christian-The Schengen Area comprises 26 European states — including some that are not EU members — that have agreed to abolish all border controls between them.A spokesperson for the EU’s Israel mission told The Times of Israel that it did not financially support the Monday event.Earlier on Tuesday, the EUinIsrael Twitter account tweeted: “Yesterday we joined members of the Parents’ Circle @ThePCFF, in the joint virtual [Israeli-Palestinian] memorial ceremony sharing their grief and breaking the cycle of violence and hatred. Those who have lost loved ones in the conflict know best the necessity of peace and the path to reaching it.— Yair Netanyahu ???????? (@YairNetanyahu) April 28, 2020-During the event, which organizers said was viewed by nearly 200,000 people, bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families made an impassioned plea for reconciliation.The Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony was held without a live audience for the first time since its inception in 2006 due to the coronavirus, and instead was livestreamed from studios in Tel Aviv and Ramallah.An Israeli emcee broadcast from the event’s usual location in Tel Aviv in Hebrew and a Palestinian emcee hosted from Ramallah in Arabic.Speakers included Israelis Hagai Yoel and Tal Kfir, and Palestinians Yusra Mahfoud and Yaqoub Rabi, all of whom lost relatives in the past two decades of the conflict.Israeli bereaved family member Tal Kfir speaks during a joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony broadcast in Tel Aviv on April 27, 2020. (Rami Ben Ari/Combatants for Peace)The ceremony has been an annual point of contention, particularly among the Israeli public, with critics accusing it of legitimizing terrorism and equating Israel’s fallen soldiers to those who attacked them.Supporters say it represents an effort by those who have lost the most in the conflict to give meaning to the deaths of their loved ones by turning away from violence.Last year, Prime Minister Netanyahu denounced the Tel Aviv event and ordered a halt to permits for dozens of West Bank Palestinians who were planning on attending, citing security precautions. The High Court of Justice overturned the decision, arguing that it was not legitimate to bar the attendees’ entry for security reasons.Participants at the 2020 ceremony were unmoved by the backlash.Yoel, whose brother Eyal was killed in Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, addressed the controversy surrounding the ceremony on both sides of the conflict for its equating Israeli and Palestinian victims. In 2016, far-right activists subjected ceremony attendees to verbal and physical abuse at a demonstration outside the event.“After Eyal’s death, I covered my ears, I closed my eyes and I shut my mouth… I didn’t feel I had anything of significance to say, until four years ago when I heard about the violent demonstrations against bereaved families at this ceremony — a ceremony that until that point I really did not identify with,” he said, referring to the 2016 demonstration.Palestinian speaker Mahfoud spoke on behalf of the Parents Circle-Families Forum grassroots organization of bereaved families. The group organized the ceremony along with Combatants for Peace, which is made up of Palestinians and Israelis who say they have taken part in the conflict’s cycle of violence. Combatants for Peace said the event was broadcast by some 45 online channels.“At first I rejected the possibility of sitting face to face with the enemy who murdered my son, but today I came as an active member of the Forum. They taught me that their pain is the same as mine,” Mahfoud said.“I want to address all the Israeli mothers watching,” said Mahfoud, whose son was shot dead by IDF troops in the al-Arroub refugee camp near Hebron in 2000. “Bereavement is bereavement. Let us educate our children against violence… May we all live in peace.”The younger Netanyahu has gained a reputation as an arch-conservative, known for brash and often off-color social media trolling. Most recently, two weeks ago, he sparked a firestorm of criticism by appearing to wish that left-wing Israelis die of the coronavirus.A rally against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Rabin’s Square, Tel Aviv, on April 19, 2020 (courtesy of Black Flag protest) “I hope the elderly who die following this protest will only be from your camp,” Netanyahu tweeted in response to a Tel Aviv demonstration where some 2,000 people protested what they described as the erosion of Israeli democracy under Benjamin Netanyahu’s stewardship of the coronavirus crisis.Yair Netanyahu’s comments drew immediate and vociferous rebuke, including from his father, whose office released a statement saying that he “roundly rejects the remarks.”He later deleted the tweet, though he continued to post messages defending himself, including one calling journalists “idiots.”Netanyahu appears to relish playing the part of the salty-tongued villain. In 2017, he drew international condemnation after posting a cartoon attacking critics of his parents, while appearing to adopt anti-Semitic tropes.Screenshot of a cartoon, widely panned as spreading anti-Semitic tropes, posted by Yair Netanyahu in 2017. (Facebook)-6Months later, he was temporarily banned from Facebook over a number of posts, which were also removed from his account, tarring all Muslims as terrorists and urging they be forcibly departed from Israel.He has also used social media to call a police chief autistic, and to accuse the president and Knesset speaker of plotting a coup, and has become embroiled in a number of libel suits, both as defendant and complainant.3 Last month, a judge ordered Netanyahu to pay NIS 250,000 ($72,425) after he failed to respond to a libel suit brought against him by a former Walla news site editor over a retweet with an incendiary allegation.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

NEW YORK — Sometime during his 12-hour shift Dr. Ram Roth will stand at an intubated patient’s bedside, take out his PPE-wrapped phone and dial. Although the ventilator and heavy sedation have rendered the patient mute, Roth knows it’s essential for family members to see their loved one and whisper words of encouragement. He’ll do that again and again, making sure each family on the outside has a chance to connect with their loved one on the inside.“The patients are all alone and that adds another complicated layer to what we’re doing; not just for me but for everyone treating coronavirus patients,” said Roth, a Jewish anesthesiologist at Mount Sinai Queens hospital.Roth, who now works primarily in the intensive care units, is one of the thousands of front-line healthcare workers treating patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

It’s affecting them personally, and their families too. We need to understand all that.”So far about 7,000 healthcare workers from all 50 states have registered. Healthcare workers taking part in HERO will also be enrolled in studies where they will have first access to drugs that could protect them from the coronavirus.“Working in a sustained high-stress environment means a constant release of cortisol and ephedrine, the fight or flight hormones,” said Dr. Michael Grosso, chief medical officer at Huntington Hospital, part of Northwell Health system. “When that happens your pupils dilate, your heart rate increases; all the things you need to run away from a saber-toothed tiger. But sustained exposure to this carries risks0”Dr. Michael Grosso, chief medical officer, Huntington Hospital, Northwell Health. (Courtesy Northwell Health) Those risks include cardiovascular complications, increased risk of ischemic heart disease, anxiety, depression and an increased or exacerbated risk for substance abuse, said Grosso, who is a pediatrician.Working in heightened state of vigilance can also interfere with sleep.“We know sleep is critical to staying healthy, but the adrenaline for those working on COVID units is going at a fantastic rate all day and so then, even if someone is exhausted, they can’t sleep. Or, they have nightmares about what they saw during the day,” said Dr. Sharon Slater, a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotrauma and crisis relief.Slater, who lives and practices in Israel, is part of a group of experienced mental health professionals who are volunteering their time to provide emotional support to American healthcare workers. The telehealth program consists of two to three sessions where healthcare workers can learn specific techniques about stress management.Of course it’s not only what the healthcare workers face at work — people dying around them while simultaneously keeping their own fears in check — it’s having to deal with stress outside of work; lockdown affects their own families.In Roth’s case being a front-line healthcare worker means he and his wife, who is also a physician, now live in a neighbor’s apartment across the hall from their two youngest children, who are 13 and 16. Roth’s sister-in-law came and moved in with the kids to help. Their two older children, 23 and 26, are living elsewhere.The table outside Dr. Ram Roth’s apartment from which he and his wife, also a physician, shared a socially distant Seder with their children. (Ram Roth) On Passover, Roth and his wife set up table in the hallway just outside the door to their own apartment so they could share a socially distant Seder with their kids. They now eat dinner in the same manner most nights.“We chat and wave to our kids from a distance and we wear our masks,” he said.When Roth goes home after a shift he wants to unwind. But sometimes it’s hard.“We have many reasons for lack of sleep — thinking about camp, will there be camp for them? Will we get the illness or give the illness to our parents?” he said, adding that overall he and his wife feel “extremely fortunate to be healthy and all together — even though socially distant.”That uncertainty is one of the biggest sources of anxiety for people, healthcare workers included.Curtis Reisinger, PhD, director of Northwell Health’s employee assistance program. (Courtesy Northwell Health) “The virus is like a body snatcher, it’s like a bogey man. No know when it’s coming,” said Curtis Reisinger, PhD, director of Northwell Health’s employee assistance program.Aside from the uncertainty of living through a pandemic, many healthcare workers feel helpless knowing their patients are alone in the hospital.“You can’t invite relatives in to hold someone’s hand, to give a last kiss or say a last word,” Reisinger said. “That leaves the burden on the healthcare worker and they can get vicarious trauma from this sort of thing. Working in a situation like this can bring up past traumas, and we have to watch for that.”That’s the kind of thing the HERO study hopes to understand.The virus is like a body snatcher, it’s like a bogey manMeanwhile, as data is collected, healthcare workers should know there are ways to mitigate the stress, Reisinger said.Hospitals across the country, including Northwell Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens, are offering mindfulness training, as well as Zoom calls with psychiatrists and chaplains. Within hospitals there are also daily and weekly check-ins between residents and attending physicians.“We’re all overwhelmed now and we have to be mindful there are things we can’t control and just control what we can,” Roth said. “I truly believe we are all united in giving our best and I am proud of my institution.”

Yair Netanyahu slams ‘evil globalist’ EU for backing coexistence program-The Times of Isreal by Raphael Ahren and Jacob Magid 28 April 2020, 6:23 pm 4
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s elder son, Yair, on Tuesday condemned the European Union for supporting a joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day event the previous evening organized by bereaved parents on both sides of the conflict.“Shame on you for financing a disgrace in the holiest day of the Israeli calendar! We have one day in a year to remember our fallen soldiers! And you destroy it with a ‘memorial’ to Palestinian terrorists!” he wrote on his Twitter account, in response to a tweet by the official Twitter account of the EU’s mission in Ramat Gan.“EU is an enemy of Israel, and an enemy to all European Christian countries! Schengen zone is dead and soon your evil globalist organization will be too, and Europe will return to be free, democratic and Christian-The Schengen Area comprises 26 European states — including some that are not EU members — that have agreed to abolish all border controls between them.A spokesperson for the EU’s Israel mission told The Times of Israel that it did not financially support the Monday event.Earlier on Tuesday, the EUinIsrael Twitter account tweeted: “Yesterday we joined members of the Parents’ Circle @ThePCFF, in the joint virtual [Israeli-Palestinian] memorial ceremony sharing their grief and breaking the cycle of violence and hatred. Those who have lost loved ones in the conflict know best the necessity of peace and the path to reaching it.— Yair Netanyahu ???????? (@YairNetanyahu) April 28, 2020-During the event, which organizers said was viewed by nearly 200,000 people, bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families made an impassioned plea for reconciliation.The Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony was held without a live audience for the first time since its inception in 2006 due to the coronavirus, and instead was livestreamed from studios in Tel Aviv and Ramallah.An Israeli emcee broadcast from the event’s usual location in Tel Aviv in Hebrew and a Palestinian emcee hosted from Ramallah in Arabic.Speakers included Israelis Hagai Yoel and Tal Kfir, and Palestinians Yusra Mahfoud and Yaqoub Rabi, all of whom lost relatives in the past two decades of the conflict.Israeli bereaved family member Tal Kfir speaks during a joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony broadcast in Tel Aviv on April 27, 2020. (Rami Ben Ari/Combatants for Peace)The ceremony has been an annual point of contention, particularly among the Israeli public, with critics accusing it of legitimizing terrorism and equating Israel’s fallen soldiers to those who attacked them.Supporters say it represents an effort by those who have lost the most in the conflict to give meaning to the deaths of their loved ones by turning away from violence.Last year, Prime Minister Netanyahu denounced the Tel Aviv event and ordered a halt to permits for dozens of West Bank Palestinians who were planning on attending, citing security precautions. The High Court of Justice overturned the decision, arguing that it was not legitimate to bar the attendees’ entry for security reasons.Participants at the 2020 ceremony were unmoved by the backlash.Yoel, whose brother Eyal was killed in Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, addressed the controversy surrounding the ceremony on both sides of the conflict for its equating Israeli and Palestinian victims. In 2016, far-right activists subjected ceremony attendees to verbal and physical abuse at a demonstration outside the event.“After Eyal’s death, I covered my ears, I closed my eyes and I shut my mouth… I didn’t feel I had anything of significance to say, until four years ago when I heard about the violent demonstrations against bereaved families at this ceremony — a ceremony that until that point I really did not identify with,” he said, referring to the 2016 demonstration.Palestinian speaker Mahfoud spoke on behalf of the Parents Circle-Families Forum grassroots organization of bereaved families. The group organized the ceremony along with Combatants for Peace, which is made up of Palestinians and Israelis who say they have taken part in the conflict’s cycle of violence. Combatants for Peace said the event was broadcast by some 45 online channels.“At first I rejected the possibility of sitting face to face with the enemy who murdered my son, but today I came as an active member of the Forum. They taught me that their pain is the same as mine,” Mahfoud said.“I want to address all the Israeli mothers watching,” said Mahfoud, whose son was shot dead by IDF troops in the al-Arroub refugee camp near Hebron in 2000. “Bereavement is bereavement. Let us educate our children against violence… May we all live in peace.”The younger Netanyahu has gained a reputation as an arch-conservative, known for brash and often off-color social media trolling. Most recently, two weeks ago, he sparked a firestorm of criticism by appearing to wish that left-wing Israelis die of the coronavirus.A rally against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Rabin’s Square, Tel Aviv, on April 19, 2020 (courtesy of Black Flag protest) “I hope the elderly who die following this protest will only be from your camp,” Netanyahu tweeted in response to a Tel Aviv demonstration where some 2,000 people protested what they described as the erosion of Israeli democracy under Benjamin Netanyahu’s stewardship of the coronavirus crisis.Yair Netanyahu’s comments drew immediate and vociferous rebuke, including from his father, whose office released a statement saying that he “roundly rejects the remarks.”He later deleted the tweet, though he continued to post messages defending himself, including one calling journalists “idiots.”Netanyahu appears to relish playing the part of the salty-tongued villain. In 2017, he drew international condemnation after posting a cartoon attacking critics of his parents, while appearing to adopt anti-Semitic tropes.Screenshot of a cartoon, widely panned as spreading anti-Semitic tropes, posted by Yair Netanyahu in 2017. (Facebook)-6Months later, he was temporarily banned from Facebook over a number of posts, which were also removed from his account, tarring all Muslims as terrorists and urging they be forcibly departed from Israel.He has also used social media to call a police chief autistic, and to accuse the president and Knesset speaker of plotting a coup, and has become embroiled in a number of libel suits, both as defendant and complainant.3 Last month, a judge ordered Netanyahu to pay NIS 250,000 ($72,425) after he failed to respond to a libel suit brought against him by a former Walla news site editor over a retweet with an incendiary allegation.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
