Covid-19 cases began popping up in the middle of Dr. Rafael Paez's first year at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he is a clinical fellow specializing in pulmonary and critical care. It was 'almost like flying blind,' Paez said. HospitalHeroes
"Some of it is not necessarily 100 percent conclusive, but this is definitely much better information than what we had back then," said Paez.
A large volume of medical literature on coronavirus is now published daily, and physicians like Paez are working to keep up with the findings."It's great, because it means society has really invested in trying to find a way to take care of the disease." Born and raised in Cuba, Paez completed military service, required for all male citizens, and then began studying engineering. It was a field his parents, his aunts and his uncle had gone into.
Paez already had an eye on studying medicine. Before leaving Cuba, he met a surgeon who had performed a lifesaving operation on a child.
