This kind of guy:<\/p>\n
We just got off the phone from a holiday call with friends. He’s an about-to-retire physician, she’s a musician. Naturally, what’s been going on with the family was the bulk of the call, and they trotted out this anecdote.<\/p>\n
Their younger daughter, after some years of trying first this and then that, without finding her passion, finally decided to go into nursing. Not just nursing, but a specialty in emergency services. She has TOTALLY found her passion, and plunged right into it. (“OMG, weren’t you worried?” I wanted to ask… but didn’t. They’re parents, of course they worried, but they are so proud of her…)<\/p>\n
And then this summer she fell ill.<\/p>\n
Not COVID, but a brain tumor.<\/p>\n
Dad- the retiring physician- got his daughter into the NIH for treatment, based on the specific type of tumor and some work going on there related to it.<\/p>\n
Daughter shows up at NIH, and, since she is a health care professional herself, she gets a tour. Not on the floor she’ll be on, but on a different floor, her guide casually mentions “That’s Dr. Fauci’s office.”<\/p>\n
Daughter who is a total gushing fangirl says “Oooooh, can I see?” They grin and show her the outer office, and she timidly asks “Can I meet him?” But of course they have to regretfully tell her that “busy” doesn’t even begin to describe him, so sorry… So she asks, “Can I write him a note?” and they hand her a pad and pen and right there, she dashes off a fan letter.<\/p>\n
Then she goes down to her floor to be prepped for surgery. Surgery goes well, they move her to a regular room, to recover.<\/p>\n
The next day, a visitor shows up.<\/p>\n
Yep.<\/p>\n
Dr. Fauci.<\/p>\n
Wanted her to know he got her note, wanted to thank her for that and for her work.<\/p>\n
Yeah, they got a selfie, even.<\/p>\n
And that’s the kind of guy Dr. Fauci is.<\/p>\n
You know, the guy PRESIDENT-ELECT Joe Biden has made his chief medical advisor?<\/p>\n
That Dr. Fauci.<\/p>\n
Wow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
