Dear Bell County Judge Blackburn

Have you ever intubated a patient?

Have you ever stood by the bedside watching your patient struggled to breathe as their lungs filled with fluid?

Have you ever had them try to yank your hands away as you try to save them with a breathing tube and a ventilator? Have you ever had to tie their hands to the bed rails to keep them from pulling their breathing tube out?

#TX31
Have you ever watched them die anyway, even after you did every damn thing you could to keep them alive? Do you know how much worse it is when you don’t even have the tools to try save them?

No?

Maybe you should listen to those of us who have.

To everyone reading this, I implore you: stay at home. Choose to help slow this disease from spreading so that we will have the tools to try to save you or your loved one if needed.

I know you’re bored. I know you think we are over-reacting.

But understand: it’s because we don’t want you to see what we’ve seen or go through what our patients have gone through.

Please. Stay safe y’all.
