SARS: View from
the front lines

With each day, more is known about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, and the health care community has had great success containing and treating the disease. HMI World takes a look at two stories within the story. A Toronto doctor explains how he and his staff have dealt with the epidemic, and a recent study conducted in Hong Kong provides an interesting perspective on how the disease has affected children. Although they seem to respond better to SARS physically, the biggest impact of SARS on children may be its long-term psychological effects.
