I’ve never met people who work so hard. The medics are reprimanded for staying too long inside the high-risk zone. Anything over an hour becomes physiologically dangerous. It’s so hot inside the layers of protective clothing that by the time you come out, you have to pour the sweat out of your boots.

A rare visible minority in a city that was and is overwhelmingly white, Dr. Liu, 48, was bullied mercilessly in grade school, from minor teasing to racist taunts and pushes and punches. “It shapes your mind, consciously or unconsciously. When I was young, I would tell myself it’s not because I’m different I won’t be as good. I always made a huge deal of being good at everything. That’s how I coped with it. You react by overperforming, or underperforming.”
Inspired by reading Camus’s The Plague and Jean-Pierre Willem’s memoir of working in Afghanistan in the 1980s, Dr. Liu decided in her early teens she would become a physician who treats the world’s poorest patients. She trained at McGill University and obtained specialties in pediatrics and emergency medicine with those goals in mind.
