The Toughest Time in My Life as a Surgeon

As I operate in a respirator on a potential Covid patient my surgical team faces such personal risk.

I can not breathe well as the headlight blocks the airflow.

The light blurs as a yellow reflection blinds me on the plastic.

The heat of the light burns my eyes.

The most complex time of my life as a surgeon.

The greatest risk I have my team has faced. It weighs so heavy on my heart.

Yet…I can hardly wait to start this daily journey again…
