Some come to manage chronic lung disease; others reckon with a new lung cancer diagnosis. The 38-year-old doctor also spends weeklong stretches in an understaffed ICU, watching over patients as ventilators hum and conversations tip between survival and loss. On his days off, he volunteers at a clinic for uninsured patients. The father of two summed it up: “It’s busy.” But even as demand for Al Ghoula grows, he fears that his ability to care for patients is at risk. He’s from Libya, one of the 39 countries officials now call “high-risk.” (Ruprecht, 4/7)
