7. Four years ago, I was timing my bowel movements to coincide with work hours
Sat Mar 16, 2024, 10:11 AM
Mar 2024

so I didn’t have to use my house’s dwindling supply of toilet paper. MAGA assholes were hording it all.

Four years ago, I had to dress in personal protective equipment from head to toe in order to visit with every single patient, whether they presented to the clinic with respiratory symptoms or not.

Four years ago, I got the news that the custodian of our medical building, a beloved father and grandfather, and the sweetest man in existence, had died from COVID-19. There was no vaccine yet.

I’m definitely better off today than four years ago.
