Publisher's Note

It was an amazing honor and privilege to interview Dr. Leonard Richardson, MD. He hails from Anguilla. He has a distinguished career in the air force and in medicine. He is presently working at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD, specializing in internal medicine as a "Covidist" doing research and treating patients with COVID-19. It was an amazing interview.

His bio reads as follows: Lt. Colonel (Dr.) Leonard A. Richardson holds an MD degree from Howard University College of Medicine. Following his graduation, Dr. Richardson completed a joint residency training program at Michigan State University, Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies, and at Howard University Hospital in internal medicine. He then joined the United States Air Force where he served with distinction. As a civilian, he worked as a hospitalist/critical unit physician and started a medical practice, Kingdom Medicine, PA, which has grown to six locations.

He has published a book called "Determined to Practice". It was published in 2016 and it also addresses the topic of dealing with pandemics. This book is sold via Amazon: https://amzn.to/38bft98

I left the interview feeling hopeful. To overcome this virus, we not only need specialized knowledge and education about dealing with this virus, which is here to stay now, but also inspirational leadership that is knowledgeable and providing information that is evidence-based from a medical standpoint. This good gentleman is the real deal and knows what he is talking about. He had some good advice to share and I will certainly be doing a follow-up interview with him regarding the resurgence of the virus infections.
