Kindness is ancient. Kindness makes us humane. Kindness is big. Being humane is a thing. Being humane is the biggest thing. We cannot be fully human if we are not also humane.

When we study the evolution of the human neuro-endocrine system and how it functions we discover something. It is optimised for a peaceful life, with occasional moments of stress. It is not optimised for constant, chronic stress.
Egalitarian life is generally peaceful, healthy, grounded in solid emotional attachment, mature affective state self regulation which reduces incidence of lost tempers thus prevented general violence - peaceful people tend not to have short fuses. Peaceful people are patient.
Just finished another >90h week on hospital #GIM service in a #COVID19 pandemic. A few thoughts:
1. Hospitals are still full, but there’s a sense of reprieve, less chaos, anxiety/stress not quite so bad.
Why?
2. Front line #healthcareworkers getting vaccinated
#COVID19AB

3. Less primary COVID infections = good, but x2 parallel #pandemics now
a. Like in Summer, the collective #Mentalhealth burden is fierce. Intentional overdoses, alcohol, stress, isolation, anxiety/depression, unemployment
b. #COVID related complications: affecting every organ...

5. #publichealth measures are working, but come w sig costs to population health in other forms. #vaccines are coming, but slower than we’d all like so we must double-down on what we have for now
6. We all agree that #COVID is hard, but it’s clearly harder for some in society

Today was a long and busy day.
16 Food hampers went out and were delivered! Just drained and frustrated as yet another mom was on my mind all day today.
Racism and bullying was on my mind today too. There were times when I pulled over after a delivery and just cried.

My emotions were all over the place. I went through the gamut of feelings but most of all I was angry.
Now I understand that government agencies have mandates to work under. However they also have discretion and emergency funding to help people.

Over the last few days I’ve gotten calls at all hours of the day/night from people feeling dejected 😔 depressed and hopeless.
What spurs me on....what keeps me and my team going is helping. Helping others. Even if it is only something simple as listening.
