We are today at the end of an era and the beginning of another, as we look back on a global pandemic which racked the entire world. There are many lessons which we in the health care sector learned from this pandemic. Above all else, what we learned is that the pandemic fostered new and innovative ways of connection. Where these did not exist, they were created. And where they did exist, their use skyrocketed (read Zoom, TikTok). In health care specifically, the use of virtual medicine was deployed and became decentralized to a point where smartphones and social media became an integral part of health care delivery, consultation, and education.[1] [2] [3] Separated from physical connection by the isolation of lockdown, physicians and patients reached out to each other using the tools that were available at their fingertips. And equally important, physicians reached out to other physicians for help and support.
