A Medic's Pause ....

As a Medic in the United States Air Force, I’ve seen and done many things. I’ve been in clinics, maternity wards, Emergency Rooms, and my fair share of ICU’s and ICW’s. I’ve taken care of many patients, who have had a plethora of Nature of Illnesses to various different degree of Mechanism’s of Injury. I’ve been in my fair share of isolation rooms and rooms of patients who were on contact precautions. I’ve provided care far and wide domestically from the banks of the Gulf of Mexico, in Mississippi, at Keesler Air Force Base to the Quaintness of Travis Air Force Base. I’ve done MPA tours in Nevada at clandestine bases such as Creech AFB, to limited tours to secluded bases like Edwards AFB. I’ve been challenged and answered my Nation’s Call when tasked to Deploy Internationally to Afghanistan as a member of ERPPS. I’ve dealt with our war fighters and taken care of those who sought to do us harm. “I’m an an American Airman …” Words that echo in my ear to this day. Words that ring true years later after enlisting in the United States Air Force . As an adept medic, I’ve seen some very harrowing things. Nothing as. harrowing as the initial numbers that this pandemic was reporting as infection rates grew. Initially, I thought we would never see this Virus come to the shores of America. I was wrong I would watch the news, as reports of virus spread throughout the world grew. I recall hearing, about the first individuals who came from these areas being flown into various military bases I’d been to or was stationed at currently. Plans of action seemed initially sound. Weeks later, the virus was knocking at our doors. This. virus unlike. others was so foreign to our top doctors. I noticed domestically our infection rates grew. New York, was initially hit the hardest. I recall seeing bodybags. Something in me hoped to be called to action. I recall calling my leadership and wanting to assist so bad. Seeing my civilian healthcare counterparts struggling to get a grasp on what seemed initially to be so tamable. I was wrong. This virus would soon prove to be unlike anything we (EVERYBODY) had ever seen. So contagious . So Lethal, yet many people didn’t want to believe. It was if we had all been told Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny was. real. Many people refusing to wear mask as if it really violated their personal /civil liberties. I was caught on guard as I had a steady supply of Real N-95 mask that initially provided safety to those in my inner circle. Additionally, I found myself stocking up on supplies prior to the virus reaching our shores. Preparedness, a steward of what was engrained in me during basic training . I found myself supplying Signature Notary San Diego, LLC with the same things. Ordering countless and sanitizer, UV Wands, Mask, Lysol , Bleach- All the things that I knew would help counter a virus insurgency. My partner thought I wascrazy when I came home with 15 cases of water with 40 bottles in each case. Days later when the virus. would reach our shores and the pandemonium began we were thankful to say the least. The calls to Signature Notary San Diego, LLC would not stop. People began what I would call “The Great Sale-Off.” People, began to sell their property at alarming rates and we had to oblige. We employed what I learned in the military to effectively combat the virus and. reduce our exposure to the virus. Fast forward to 8 months later we have been fortunate and blessed to say the least to have successfully keep ourselves and our clients able to carry on. With the Vaccine on the horizon and scores of US population needing to be vaccinated I find myself optimistic. How then shall we live? Do we carry on business as usual or do we take tactical pause to assess the reality in which we find ourselves in and adjust? Signature Notary San Diego, LLC. stands ready and has adjusted every step of the way to help mitigate and combat the insurgency which is this pandemic. My personal thoughts are with those people and their families who have contracted the virus and unfortunately lost. This pandemic is not a game and I encourage everyone to stay vigilant. I encourage everyone to wear mask and don’t be sheep. I encourage everyone to increase your level of preparedness and look for opportunities to improve and not be stagnant during this time. I encourage families to have conversations and hug each other even more tight as we move into an uncertain time. Pause - Reflect on the positives of wearing a mask vs. the negatives of not wearing a mask.
