To the physician that tried to check a pulse in Minneapolis today

Thank you for being human in an inhumane situation. I am so sorry you were forced to stand there and do nothing. What happened to this woman and her family is unthinkable. There is a lot of secondary trauma occurring here that we can’t even imagine. I could hear it in your voice, just saying the words “I’m a physician”. I don’t know how I would react in this situation, but I think you did everything you could without risking additional deaths. The scene was just not safe. I just want you to know that you are seen and appreciated. I hope you have a few minutes to talk to someone about all this because we need physicians like you to be ok.
