Sorry for polical text - Our hospital is full, can’t do elective surgery and I can’t transfer in critically ill patients with ESLD. My kids can’t go to school. Yet our restaurants and bars are open...how does this make sense?? Schools and hospitals need to be #1 priority.
George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
It’s World Health Day, and we owe a profound debt of gratitude to all our medical professionals. They’re still giving their all for us every day, at great risk to themselves, and we can’t thank them enough for their bravery and their service.
