Dr. Feltman, who is married with a 14-month-old child in Palm Beach Gardens, traveled to New York Community Hospital in Brooklyn.
In the first week there, he said, the situation “was something of a war scene” with more death than he’d ever seen before.
Fortunately, there are signs that the worst may be over at the hospital, he said: Death rates are lower, intubations are much less frequent and fewer patients are coming to the emergency room.
“There’s definitely been a turnaround, and we hope it stays that way this week,” Dr. Feltman told WPTV.
He plans to continue working at New York Community Hospital in a critical care capacity until the end of April.
