Yesterday, I talked about change, and want to add to that.
While I was working out yesterday, I was listening to some
music by The Who. In 1978, they published Who Are You;
this song was later adapted to the CSI TV series. The lyrics
do not really take you anywhere except the recurrent chant
'who are you?' I think many of us have been asking that
question to ourselves: who am I? And now, who do I want to
be? Today, I was talking to a patient who I sent to and
worked with HCGH Emergency Department. The patient commented
that she has been there multiple times in the past, but
never had as good an experience as she did yesterday. All
the staff, the nurses and doctors, the technicians, etc,
could not have been better. And so, adversity can bring out
the very best in people. Being selfless and grateful is
healing. Have a peaceful and relaxing Sunday. And
maybe ask yourself: who do I want to be?
The numbers:
US: 735,366 cases 39,090 deaths 5.3% fatality
rate (up)
Maryland: as of 12:00, the numbers have not been updated;
I'll provide an update tomorrow
This model predicts Maryland
will peak tomorrow, The model was last updated on 4-17-20. Locally,
the hospital is calm. If things continue in the manner we
predict, we will avoid a surge that would overcome our
hospital resources. Governor Hogan is a true battlefield
general!
