How are you?

How are you? It’s been challenging for so many of us across the country and around the world. Here in Metro Detroit, COVID-19 cases are rising and our local hospitals are becoming filled to capacity. Yet there is good news coming out amongst all the bad: over 100,000 people have recovered from COVID-19, and upwards of 80% of people who contract it have only mild to moderate symptoms.

Have you taken this time to reconnect with the ones you love? I have to credit my wife who, while I’m in the office every weekday, is helping educate two children, take care of three senior dogs, and complete several home projects she had planned to do for many months. Our newest pup, Sammy (aka Num Num), has developed some weakness of his back legs, which the neurologist has diagnosed as either a slipped disc or tumor. We are praying it’s the former.

My administrative assistant Megan and I are holding down the fort each day at YOUN Plastic Surgery, where I’m doing several virtual consultations each day, creating content for my social media pages, and researching ways to keep my business going and my employees paid during this concerning time. There must be less than forty people working in our twenty-four floor high rise each day, as the parking lots are virtually empty. It’s quite surreal.

So is it the end of the world?

Far from it. I believe it’s the beginning of our world coming together to fight a common foe. We are all soldiers in this battle, whether you are staying home and social distancing or at the front lines like many of my friends, treating patients and saving lives. We all have a role to play, and each role is important in order for us to win.

My role is still evolving. I don’t know whether I’ll be called up to help in my local hospital or beyond. I’d be lying if I said that the pressures of keeping up my business and the ever-increasing likelihood that I will be needed to help my fellow doctors, nurses, and support staff in the ER or ICU don’t keep me up at night.

But for now, the best most of us can do is wait. Stay at home, distance yourself from others, pray for our healthcare workers and all the others who continue to keep this world running, and be comforted by the fact that this, too, shall pass.

I hope this message finds you healthy and loved.

See you next week, my friends.
