How do we ER doctors and teams celebrate Thanksgiving (or any other holiday) when we’re working? What about the countless other professions who are “ON” for the holidays?
**make sure not to miss the extra photos at the end of the clip!**
With all the changes to Thanksgiving this year – I know so many of you are disappointed about not being able to see your extended family (as I am, as well) – and I thought – what BETTER way to help us all, than to hear the stories from those for whom being away from family for holidays is the norm?
I’m talking:
First responders
Nurses
Firefighters
Doctors
A freight train conductor (I know – who knew?)
Military service members
I was AMAZED and inspired by their stories – and I think you will be, too.
Share this with a loved one struggling with being apart this holiday – and I challenge ALL of us – to make this Thanksgiving a memorable one, but for all the right reasons. 🙂
All my love,
Dr. D.
