Our COVID-19 Reality
Mamata Majmundar, MD
|
The Lexington Medical Society tag line, “Physicians caring for the community since 1799,” is especially meaningful in our current COVID-19 reality. It is the health care team of physicians, PA’s, nurses, and other health care providers that are risking their lives on the front lines of this battle against COVID-19. Since the declaration of a state of emergency on March 6
th
, when the first COVID-19 case in Kentucky was confirmed in Lexington-Fayette County, things have rapidly evolved. I want to thank our state and city health commissioners, Dr. Steven Stack and Dr. Kraig Humbaugh for leading our public efforts and for their continuous dedication to keep our community safe and informed.

Physician's Perspective on the Front-Lines of the COVID-19 Pandemic
|
|
|
|
By: Lee Dossett, MD
For the last 2 weeks I have gotten an up-close look at how hospitals are dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. As a member of the hospitalist leadership team at Baptist Health Lexington, I have been intimately involved in the daily preparations and execution of virus management plans. It has become evident that for these action plans to work, flexibility has to be a core value amongst providers. Coronavirus was on our radar in February, but by early March it became clear it would be something no hospital would escape. To Read

David Bensema, MD
Internal Medicine, Member Since 1982
Why did you become a physician?
I was inspired by my family physician in Chicago. He delivered my mother and her siblings and then delivered me, my siblings, and half of my cousins a generation later, while founding a community hospital that still exists and services one of the poorest neighborhoods in Chicago. I wanted to be a positive impact on people’s lives like Dr. Was.
