Covid Corner with Dr. Gary Jacques
"Many things are good, many are important, but only a few are essential." _ _Todd Christofferson Dear MANNM Staff and Los Alamos community, New Mexico now has 112 confirmed cases. Still none from Los Alamos. I hope today's quote is inspiring. How does it feel to be essential? This is a reminder of the obvious_ _healthcare is an essential service. And each of us plays an essential role in letting us do what we do. That's why we get to keep on working while the rest of the nation shuts down. In many ways it is a privilege. I have found a change in tone with patients. More and more are saying "thank you" and expressing concern in ways as simple as saying "stay safe". For those of us not on the front lines with patients, we may not hear this as much but you should know the public has you in their thoughts and prayers more so than ever. Have a good day, Dr. Jacques
