Duty of Care: One NHS Doctor’s Story of the COVID-19 Crisis by Dominic Pimenta

The first book to tell the full story of the COVID-19 pandemic, from an NHS doctor working inside hospitals to save lives and combat the virus on the front line.   “We weren’t prepared, we weren’t listened to, but together we fought it.”   On the 8th of February, Dr. Dominic Pimenta encountered his first suspected case of coronavirus. Within a week, he began wearing a mask on the tube and within a month, he was moved over to the Intensive Care Unit to help fight this virus.   ‘DUTY OF CARE’ is the first book to tell the full story of the COVID-19 pandemic from someone on the frontline, working in one of NHS’s hardest hit areas. From the initial whispers coming out of China and the collective hesitation to class this as a pandemic to full lockdown and the continued battle to treat whoever came through the doors. Dr. Pimenta tells the heroic stories of how the entire system shifted to tackle this outbreak and how, ultimately, the staff managed to save lives.
