(Snippets from the frontline)
COVID-19/BLM: 100
Today marks the 100th consecutive day posting a snippet in Doctor’s Diary on COVID-19, and most recently BLM. These two events of 2020 will be forever etched in history, yet we are still living though evolving changes daily.
Documenting the twists and turns in a snippet from a physician viewpoint hopefully brought readers a different perspective.
The real reason though is to write a personal description offering opinions and solutions so my grandkids will know their grandfather did not simply care for elder patients, but also contributed to our social cause by writing about it.
I am not a writer. But I have been given the opportunity by many in the community to share my viewpoint. This has not been an easy task, as there have been some attempting to block my opinion, especially when it came to whistleblowing.
Several leaders though value our freedom of speech giving me opportunity to spread worthy thoughts and awareness.
I will slow down now, and better pace myself in our marathon of life.
But I ask all of you to pick up a pen, or go to a keyboard, and put down your feelings and ideas for posterity.
Make your grandkids proud.
Gene Uzawa Dorio, M.D.
Loved your snippets. You are inspiring. And your grandkids will be proud.
