I had the opportunity to chat with 2 BC Doctor's last night. One an ER Doc the other an Internal Medicine Doc. Both young and respected in their fields. First point, I was masked, they weren't. #bccovid19 ๐งต
This was just a social conversation and of course anecdotal but to me terrifying and enlightening. They both think #bonniehenry is amazing and doing an excellent job. They both spoke of Covid in the past tense.
As they seemed to minimize Covid I asked them their thoughts on Long Covid. One said it really doesn't excist. The other said BC is closing Long Covid units as there is no treatment for it and it's a waste of limited HC resources.
Of love and loss. I think most people have experienced the death of someone in their circle. For some it's outer circle people, it effects them, but it doesn't permeate their soul. They express condolences and move on. Death is part of life.

For others it is someone in their inner circle. Someone who is an integral part of their life. Someone they can't imagine life without. No loss should be discounted but these losses change the fabric of one's being for eternity. You don't move past them.
Many feel helpless and wish they could have done something to prevent this horrific pain. They'd do anything to bring back their person. Often the "what ifs" and "I wish I'd of" runs through their heads like a never ending loop.
