A whole new perspective
Woke up this morning in Lakes DHB medical ward after a long day in ED. Talking to the nurses and baby docs about how they are managing gives a whole new perspective on the impact of this virus. We all know we can manage and we will, but to be on the front line and put yourself at risk takes courage and a much wider view than just taking care of our own. This is about taking care of our community and not allowing this “Social distancing” to sever the social bonds that make us a community. I am fine but I got a shake up and now it’s my responsibility to see how I can make a difference. I have started by checking in on my oldies to make sure they can get groceries and are feeling safe – little things are big things and everything matters.
