I hope that in the middle of the chaos of COVID 19 that persons around the world take the time to show appreciation and support for healthcare workers who are putting their lives on the line to save lives and to keep our communities safe and as healthy as possible.
This pandemic is new territory for our workforce, but they are often working without adequate protection, shortages of supplies and spending extra hours away from their loved ones while worrying that they may take the virus home to the ones that they love.
My partner, who is a heart surgeon, doesn’t get to put off surgeries, because the surgeries are life saving and needed immediately. Today, a family cursed him because he could not allow any of them to momentarily see their loved one who had just come out of surgery and was at high risk for COVID19. That was the third angry encounter with a family in 4 days.
Thank goodness we have been blessed with talented and dedicated healthcare workers around the world who are putting their lives on the line everyday.
I hope you all stay safe in the midst of this novel virus and that you will take a moment to show your gratitude to healthcare workers and the public health workforce who are true heroes in my eyes.
