Laughter For Survival

I just gotta say I love this guy:

As the medical staff at [United Memorial Medical Center] witnessed the psychological effects of isolation in patients, [chief of staff Dr. Joseph] Varon instructed staff to wear large photographs of their faces hung around their necks, so that patients could recognize the person who was caring for them behind those “space suits.”

One day, he went in to see patients with a picture of Brad Pitt attached to his personal protective equipment suit, eliciting laughter from even those who were the sickest. [WaPo]
