In my first semester of law school, I had the pleasure of meeting someone I came to admire for his intellect and drive to do good.
While I was trying to balance work, night school and single life in Manhattan, he was already an accomplished physician at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. He had once applied to NASA’s astronaut program and was a resident at George Washington University Hospital in the emergency room the day President Ronald Reagan was shot.
The story of Dr. Zucker’s transition from respected physician to perceived political pawn isn’t unique. It is emblematic of the crisis being faced by the American medical profession. None, of course, would compare to the state’s nursing home policy that sent COVID-positive patients back into facilities where the resident population was at the highest risk for the virus. The policy claimed at least 10,000 lives, and the cover-up was a pure political salvage operation.
Seduced by political masters and activists, doctors like Dr. Zucker have lost the independence that at one time placed them among the most trusted people in the country.
