So I have been very busy. First of all OUHCOM has been sterilized. I mean tape sealing the doors and the word STERILIZED on them. No monkey business. And then I have been running around like a 1 armed paper hanger trying to cover the military public health response and to add to all of that, I still am seeing patients in the clinic.
But today, after hours of briefings and policy memos and the nugwork of being a temporarily important person in a military response to a wicked little virus, I decided to do a podcast. SO I fetched all of my gear, moved it to my sound LIVE home office and decided to call my two second year OMS 2 students, Harsh and Adam.
Now you need to give Harsh and Adam some serious props because they are on home confinement under State Order by Governor Dewine and they are still studying and working to be good doctors. On my “interview” (really a quiz) they did okay.
Look, I am not being a Chicken Little. I see all the data on this every day. If you don’t follow the rules, either you or someone you love will get very sick and possibly die. Legit. Straight up. Full Stop. So listen as I review this wee little wicked thing called SARS CoV-2 and all that you need to know about beating it.
Here’s the deal, if you are one of those people who gets mild to no symptoms from COVID-19 and you don’t self- isolate and engage in proper hygiene, you will kills someone. Sorry but that is the fact. So try and follow as I take Harsh and Adam on a rapid spin up of this thing and along the way remind them that they will get through this and be great doctors at the end of the day.
Forgive the audio quality, my internet service provider is awful. I ordered a QuickTap from B&H and that should mean a lot better and consistent audio in the future.
Cheers!
