Includes a digital copy of editorial "Lessons learned: special precautions for performing emergency cerebrovascular procedures amid the COVID-19 pandemic" in "Journal of Neurosurgery" by Xiaoguang Tong, MD and Yuanfan Yang, MD.
Submitted to the Duke University Medical Center Archives by neuro-oncology Duke PhD candidate, Dr. Yuanfan Yang. Yang writes: "I went to medical school in Beijing, China before I came to Duke for brain tumor research. A lot of my friends in the US asked me how the Chinese responded to the pandemic. Actually half of my classmates and lots of senior colleagues went recruited to the epicenter in February 2020. So I communicated with them and wrote this letter to a professional journal in my field. In this letter we specifically emphasized the contagiousness of this virus and ways to stop the spread from a logistic and personal perspective, including the need to upgrade PPE."

Contains images and video of Duke Ob/Gyn Resident Dr. Shelun Tsai and Duke Psychiatry Resident Dr. Michael Sun's Zoom wedding during the pandemic.
Submitted to the Duke University Medical Center Archives by Duke Obstetrics & Gynecology Director of Communications & Marketing, Jane Black. Black writes: "Duke Obstetrics and Gynecology residents are accustomed to happy surprises and the joy that often accompanies them. April 11, 2020 was no different, as Duke Ob/Gyn Resident Dr. Shelun Tsai and fiance Dr. Michael Sun, a resident in Duke Psychiatry's program, commemorated what would have been their wedding day during an impromptu ceremony at Duke Birthing Center. Both Dr. Tsai and Dr. Sun are native New Yorkers, and their planned nuptials were postponed due to the coronavirus. Friends and colleagues wanted the day to be special, nonetheless, and found a way to hold the short ceremony and create a memorable moment, bringing a bit of hope and joy to an otherwise stressful time for health care workers. The "wedding party" hurriedly designed a tissue paper bouquet and even decorated a transportation cart adorned with JUST MARRIED signs. Outfitted in a festive paper gown designed by a colleague and donning a face mask as required by Duke Hospital amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Tsai exchanged vows via Zoom with Dr. Sun, joined by Duke Birthing Center staff and employees."
