In March of 2020, The Life Medical Podcast began recording with medical professionals in hospitals across the East Coast of the United States. It just so happened that this was also the moment COVID-19 hit America. When the virus landed in New York City, The Life Medical had audio devices in the hands of doctors and nurses on the front line.

The first season of The Life Medical follows eight working professionals in their calling to medicine, and how they dealt with the arrival of COVID-19 as it hit the United States for the first time.
