While health care professionals, including many AASM members, are intently focused on their mission of providing patient care during the coronavirus pandemic, it’s just as important to make time for self-care. The stresses of this health emergency—long hours, difficult cases, equipment shortages, isolation from family and overall uncertainty— are taking a toll. You must care for yourself to care for your patients.
Of course, coronavirus isn’t just impacting frontline responders. Everyone faces new challenges and pressures. Practices have been thrust into uncertainty, scrambling to deliver care in new ways, labs are suspending testing, regular activities are in limbo.
