Weirdly was really motivated to get a comic out today. Won’t go deep into this, but honestly? Covid is starting to really worry me. The worst of the pandemic has yet to hit, and we are already out of ppe. The patients we’re seeing get sick aren’t necessarily old with a laundry list of comorbidities. We’re losing a lot of healthcare personnel to quarantine after exposure vs COVID rule out while waiting for testing in coworkers who are ill (which is showing me, if anything, how often residents just tough it out and come to work sick.) I’m technically seventh in line for jeopardy, but I was pulled out of clinic to cover the MICU for a couple of days. And there’s a sense of foreboding in the air that I, personally, can’t seem to shake. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m going to attempt to catch a few zzzs. #comic #webcomic #coronavirus #resident #intern #inpatient #doctor #relatable #womeninmedicine #blackdoctors #graphicmedicine #premed #premedmotivation #residency #internalmedicine #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #medlife #md #medstudent #nurse #physician
