How a Boston doctor built a following as a ‘loud and unafraid’ voice in the Trump era
Jeremy Faust saves lives in the ER.
He’s also testing the bounds of news reporting
Jeremy Faust’s life blends medicine, classical music, and, in the Trump-era, boundary-pushing journalism.

Jeremy Faust cuts through a hallway of Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital on his way to see a patient who is struggling to breathe.
It’s the start of his evening shift, and the emergency department hums with ambient sound: bleeping monitors, the rumbling wheels of medical carts, the squeaky soles of hustling staff.
People on gurneys line the corridor, some wincing in pain, others chatting with relatives.
On this Wednesday evening in May, Faust is working what is typically a quieter shift, as far as emergency departments go.
Still, he is overseeing a team of doctors, students, and physician assistants, and will tend to more than two dozen patients before signing off for the night.
It’s an understatement to say Faust likes to keep busy.
Minutes earlier, he’d posted an article on his influential Substack newsletter, Inside Medicine, providing an update on a major international news story.
An alert sent to the newsletter’s nearly 85,000 subscribers announced his “scoop”: Twenty-six passengers aboard the MV Hondius , the hantavirus-hit cruise ship docked at the time off Cape Verde, had disembarked much earlier than previously known — raising the possibility they could spread the rare virus in the United States.
