In new The New Yorker piece, I review the long history of convalescence as a central pillar of medicine—and explore what's been lost as we've moved away from giving recovery the time, space, and respect that it deserves.

The country’s excess-death count—a measure of how many Americans are dying relative to past averages—has fallen to pre-pandemic levels. But, as the virus keeps evolving, “that doesn’t mean the threat has passed,” Dhruv Khullar writes. nyer.cm/D1ziJoD

This summer has been the hottest on record, and the years ahead will get even hotter. In new The New Yorker, I explore how extreme heat impacts our health—and what we can do to cope.
Must read new book from Anupam Jena and Chris Worsham!
