Thanks to all of you who are trying to be part of the solution. As a leader of a hospital based internal medicine practice, I, and my team of 26 other docs thank you. I completely agree with the comment made that the lack of adequate supplies for first responders and health care workers is a monumental failure of our society. Hopefully when the dust settles, the corporate decision makers responsible for this will come to light and be shamed and punished for the greed that has led to this shortage in PPE and hospital supplies. When the practice of corporate medicine became the norm in our country and MBAs were given more importance than MDs and DOs, we all knew what it would eventually lead to: the bottom line being more important than a flat line. I have been spending the last month trying to help my docs who have no masks or gowns when walking in to high risk patient rooms. I am doing the only thing I can to protect them: getting them out of those rooms to practice medicine via an iPad to potentially save them from exposure and possible severe illness or death. In the process we are saving tons of PPE that can now be repurposed for use by the people in the direct line of fire: nurses, ER docs, and Anesthesiologists who are voluntarily taking call to intubate crashing patients. I encourage all of you to practice strict social distancing, because that is the ONE thing that we do have control over to slow the spread of the virus and therefore lower the mortality rate. The down side of strict social distancing is that it will draw out this crisis for an even longer period of time, but the alternative is a much scarier and more devastating scenario. Thank you for everything you guys are doing to help. Every little bit makes a difference, and knowing that we are all on the same team regardless of our political differences is refreshing. I agree everyone should make more road trips and learn more about each other.......but we should wait a year or so before starting that practice. Stay safe.

No nagging, no "I'm not in the mood . . . this year :eek:", no minivan purchases = winning! |

Thanks Bernie. Definitely not planning any travel without the kids the next 15 years or so. We feel strongly feel about what Nick was saying; travel is educational. We want our girls to see the world and see the difference among people.
Europe will most likely be where they see first. When my dad retired, before they moved back to the States, they bought an apt in Berlin. We’ve got a base of operations there with many great cities within a 1 day train ride away. And I’ve never seen the Alps. As a climber, Chamonix and Zermatt are must visits. I will likely pay a guide while they shop and eat. Though my elder is into it. She might want to climb too. |

Oh, and they die fairly regularly. Good times. Place was beautiful though. I went all the way up, wifey wouldn't go. On the way we went through a 7 mile tunnel to get there. Toll was $40! Traveling is cool. Won't be doing any of that anytime soon. I can't even see picking up a menu or sleeping in a hotel again until this thing is way, way over. And there's no reason to think it won't be back year after year. It's not like there's an expiration date. |
