EVANSTON, Ill.—It was David Smith’s first protest, and he never thought it would be against the hospital system where he had risked his own life to save others.
A 34-year veteran medical professional, Smith served AIDS patients in the 90s, swine flu patients in 2009, and COVID-19 patients in the last two years. He caught COVID-19 last July, endured six weeks of headache and high blood pressure, and reported back to work at NorthShore University HealthSystem in May because they asked him for help, he said.
