"Safe Again"
"Just recently I saw a patient who contracted the virus. I could tell by the tone of their voice, their gestures, their actions, that they were scared-- worried-- they kind of felt hopeless. This patient did get better and symptoms went away but she was still worried she could contract the virus again.
As I was typing and processing these things in my mind, I felt really sad for her and the way she felt. We all wish we could do more. It definitely is terrible. She didn’t feel like herself. From her tone I could tell it was still bothering her a lot. She just wanted to feel safe again."
