A New York Times reporter's gripping account of the medical students who received their degrees early to help treat thousands of critically ill Covid-19 patients in New York City during the height of the pandemic--an engrossing and eye-opening book in the tradition of Sheri Fink's Five Days at Memorial and Scott Turow's One L. In March 2020, soon-to-graduate medical students in New York City were nervously awaiting "match day" when they would learn where they would begin their residencies.
