In episode one, Abbott talks with Dr. Nicolas Bremer, a Pain Medicine specialist and anesthesiologist from Charleston, West Virginia, about how his Navy experience and personality drove him to join the battle against a contagious virus, what he learned that he took back to his own practice and the ability of healthcare professionals to adapt to a world of "controlled chaos."

"Given the severity of the crisis, voluntary and involuntary sort of goes away."

In early April 2020, thousands of coronavirus hospitalizations threated to overwhelm New York’s healthcare infrastructure. To ensure continuity of quality care, a call went out to medical professionals across the United States, appealing for volunteers willing to risk their lives to help care for those affected by this disease.  In this podcast series, Abbott sits down with three physicians from across the U.S. who have worked with the company as part of their chronic pain management and movement disorder practices, to learn about their time in the Hot Zone.
