Losing money is bad but losing loved ones is worse16 Mar 2020 16:55
My daughter is a doctor working in a hospital on the respiratory ward.
She is dealing with patients who are confirmed as having covid-19, and those who potentially have contracted it.
She was due to move to a different specialism within the hospital in two weeks time, but has just been told that they need her to stay where she is, which clearly means that she will be at risk for many months.
Her response was to simply say “that’s why I became a doctor dad”
To say I am worried for her is an understatement.
To say I am proud of her is so much of an understatement that words fail me.
I suspect that most if not all of us will have relatives in the at risk categories, and or, as I’d the case with me, be in one of the categories ourselves, this virus puts things into perspective, if I lose all my money here I will be unhappy, but if I lose family and or friends to this virus I will be devastated.
Keep well all of you, and think of the people working on the front line.
