She feels the plight of our country as if it is one of her emergency room patients. Just two more years before she would step back from medicine and become a working artist. Then COVID-19 turned her clinic into the main testing facility for the city. She was so careful to wear protective gear, to be up to date on vaccination. But the other guests at the dinner convinced the host to dine inside. Just that one time. COVID from that night took hold in her system and never let go. One of the long-term sufferers still looking for a cure, she has no energy to work and was eventually dismissed from even telemedicine. Who will remember her and help her go beyond constant bedrest and regain the strength to make art?
