I argue that the doctors by – employing their skills and knowledge – ad hoc started to reconstruct their professional world heavily influenced by the virus. I employ a body of literature focused on risk-taking, risk society, and second modernity to shed more light on doctors` practices, who entered a risky, yet intellectually and professionally refreshing interplay with the threads brought to them by the virus.
