Implicit or sometimes explicit in your posts are presumptions I agree with: most people don't know what happens and what nurses do in ERs, ICUs, and hospitals in general; but they should. (I'm a reasonably intelligent and knowledgeable person, I hope. And I even watched "ER" for a few years (Maura Tierney was excellent). But I don't know much of this stuff and feel I need to.) Especially now. There's a lot to know, though I suppose the key lessons are: (1) hospitals and the people working in them are extremely busy right now so (2) kindly wear a mask, social distance, etc.
I hope your newsletter or something like it goes viral (sorry, bad word choice) soon – or something else wakes people up – so at least February and March can be better than what January's going to be. Sadly I feel that too large a portion of the country is too far gone for anything to make a difference. But miracles happen once in a while.
I'm in southern California – we've got all kinds of grimness and stubbornness here now. But there are also many people who get what's happening and what they need to do. And there are many news and personal reports about how bad the situation is. Maybe that will help...🤞
If you can have a Happy New Year under the circumstances, I hope you will. I'll attempt to have one as well.
