Serving Patients with Faith and Fearlessness During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The problems surrounding COVID-19 have weighed heavily on our healthcare workers. It can be extremely difficult and frustrating for many of them. 每一天, they must witness the harsh consequences of this pandemic, 虽然世界上许多人可能仍然拒绝采取必要的预防措施来避免这种可怕的疾病.

What are the typical responsibilities for someone in your position?
我的工作是在物理治疗师的指导下进行个体化治疗. I assess patient response through goals and standardized tests, and then I provide interventions that will promote a safe discharge to home, 辅助生活, 或者长期护理.
我还记录了治疗过程, 必要时参加会议, and participate in continuing education courses.
我非常感谢有机会帮助改善bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载所见过的许多病人的生活质量. I also appreciate those I work with who are just as passionate about this field. bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载真心喜欢帮助别人, 在bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载典型的工作描述之外，我看到了很多善良和爱的行为.
真的很简洁!
What does a typical day look like for you?
到达工作地点后, 给我一张病人的时间表，每个人都有一定的时间(或治疗时间). 他们的工作时间有一定的灵活性，这取决于保险和他们的需求.
我喜欢花时间回顾他们以前的治疗记录和指导PT设定的目标. 然后，我制定治疗干预措施的计划，以帮助他们实现既定目标. Treatments vary quite a bit and each day looks different.
对我来说，白天同时治疗和集体治疗(一次治疗多个病人)是很常见的.
最后，我会记录我的治疗——要么是全天的治疗，要么是看完所有病人后的治疗.
How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed that routine?
Quite a few additional steps have been added to our daily routines.
作为员工，bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载每天上班时都要检查体温. We also complete a quick health questionnaire, and we’re only able to come in if we and everyone in our home is healthy. We’re also required to wear a mask at 所有 times. bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载继续保持良好的卫生习惯，经常洗手，并在每位患者使用前后清洁设备.
我的项目的另一个重大变化是，bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载不允许在这个时候进行并行或集体治疗. Activities have been discontinued and visitors are not 所有owed in the building.
We’ve always been frequently exposed to infectious illness and disease, and our directors continue to work hard to ensure we are prepared and protected. 这一点没有改变, 在与病人打交道时，bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载将继续非常谨慎.
What has been the biggest ch所有enge so far?
bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载所有的病人都免疫功能低下，被认为是高危人群，这是一个很大的问题.
It’s been ch所有enging to see people (outside of healthcare) not take this seriously.
It’s also been ch所有enging for patients not to have visitors, 但我见过很多员工教bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载的老年病人如何使用手机和学习FaceTime, 这很有趣!
Where do you find the inspiration to endure this difficult period?
I find inspiration to endure this period through my faith.
我也通过专注于爱和选择寻找好的东西而找到了强大的力量, 因为现在已经有很多了. My love and concern for the wellbeing of our patients outweighs my fear.
I think most (if not 所有) who I work with would say the same.
The stress must be overwhelming at times. 你如何找到平衡? What do you do to maintain your composure during stressful moments at work?
I know that it’s okay to let yourself have stressful moments. I can be frustrated, angry, sad or scared. I let myself feel those things, I take a break, and then I reset.
如果我真的很挣扎，在脑海中列出我喜欢或欣赏的东西会有所帮助.
When I get home from work, I focus on my family. I’m married to the love of my life and we have a 6-month old baby and little dog. 我的家庭对我来说就是一切!
We go for walks, we watch movies, and we play games, which helps me to find balance.
您有什么建议或灵感想与其他可能面临类似挑战的医护人员分享吗?
You are loved, admired and so appreciated! Know that there are many praying for you and your families at this time. bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载会一起度过难关的!
成千上万的男人和女人正在学习成为医学专业人士，同时看着这一切的展开. 你会对他们说什么?
你可以做困难的事情! Healthcare is not an easy field, but it is beyond rewarding.
那么bbin宝盈娱乐客户端下载的非医学读者呢? 对他们有什么建议吗?
请呆在家里! 这是你现在能做的最好的事情，不仅是为了你自己，也是为了其他人.
Look for ways to love and serve others—not just now, but always! 你会发现，当你把注意力集中在别人身上时，那些具有挑战性的时刻和时间会变得更容易忍受.
选择看到好的一面. You can still experience happiness during difficult times.
