It’s been four years since the pandemic swept the planet. The cost, we know too well, was staggering and met head on by healthcare workers who faced sick and dying patients every day. Dr. Cornellia Griggs was among them and her pleas for the public to help in 2020 were unflinching, emotionally powerful, and impactful.
Griggs is a Pediatric Surgeon and Assistant Professor in Surgery at Harvard Medical School at Massachusetts General Hospital. She graduated from Harvard College with a certificate in Health Policy from the Kennedy School of Government and completed her medical degree at the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons. After medical school, she completed her residency in General Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital where she also completed a fellowship in Surgical Critical Care. She then completed a fellowship in Pediatric Surgery at the Children’s Hospital of New York at Columbia University Medical Center. Griggs has made numerous television appearances on CNN, Good Morning America, NBC News, among others, and her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the New England Journal of Medicine, Annals of Surgery, and other publications. Her first book, “The Sky Was Falling” was published this month.
