Texas Medicine Today

Part of Texas Medicine’s ongoing coverage of COVID-19, this issue looks back at how the physician community learned to cope with the largest pandemic in recent history. Whether on the front lines fearing bringing the illness home or dealing with shortages of personal protective equipment, or on the sidelines worried about closing their office doors or the future of their medical education, few physicians and medical students were spared the emotional toll. Plus, the Texas Comptroller delays the medical billing tax until October 2021, giving the Texas Medical Association time to work out a legislative fix.
