Invisible things
I slid my finger across the volume bar. The opening notes of Lauv's Invisible Things tumbled out thick and fast like cordial as I snapped my headphones into place. Little did I know that this would be one of the last trips I'd make to the hospital for a while. 'It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most. It's the way that I feel when I, when I hold you close,' crooned the singer. In less than a fortnight, those lyrics would take on a much greater meaning. Life as we knew it had begun to change already. As a student cohort, we were 2 months into our research projects; many of us had settled quite comfortably into the pace of academic life with new papers to read, and theoretical concepts to imbibe, distill, and analyse. Time was not slowing down for us final year graduates, and the turning of the leaves would signal our foray into applying for internships. Already, the year felt different from previous ones because we had swapped the bedside for the bench. Patient-contact varied between the different projects we were assigned; and I found myself wondering if all my clinical skills were going down the drain, purely from lack of practice. That was until our country became a growing red dot on the map of a global pandemic, and the distance became a privilege I would dread. They say it takes six degrees of separation to bring two people together. In a perverse kind of way, the transmission of COVID-19 from bat to human host seemed to materialise out of thin air from a perfectly-aligned set of circumstances. An innocent inoculation became the repository of ill-fate. And the rest is history. Over the next few days, I watched in horror as news stories and press releases about the virus accreted in alarming magnitude and frequency. No one talked about anything else. I realised I wasn't the only one feeling lost in all this. In a manner stereotypical of this generation of selfie-takers, I found myself grappling with the consequences that this virus had on my own worldview. What did it mean that gyms and restaurants were closing? Where would I go if not to the hospital? How did toilet paper become the one paragon of stability and control within this society? Those initial days felt like I was living in a dystopian reality. Time slipped away like a melting clock, as routines were stripped bare and streets became eerily empty. I was frightened and naive because life had never been so limited before. Everything became swiftly condensed into a four square metre box with only the Internet for company. Admittedly I was slow to realise the significance of the curve until I read about the sacrifices. Then I understood, quite distinctly, that staying home would make a difference to those who did not have the luxury or choice. I read about an intern struggling to adjust to an ever-changing landscape, an emergency doctor segregated from his wife and family to work endlessly gruelling shifts. An anaesthesiologist intubating COVID-positive patients and making invisible risks: each breath carrying with it some chance of aerosolized virus, each step forward more opportunistic than the next. In a profession so grounded in the practice of human touch and connectedness, medicine had become a minefield of inconceivable threats. Inside and outside the hospital, we were all fighting our own battles. Some people talked about skin hunger, and I instinctively felt it too. I missed the seconds before a hug when the anticipation was as sweet as the resolution. I missed feeling like a moving part in a well-oiled machine. It seemed almost cruel that in times like this, physical closeness could do more harm than good. I dared not even imagine a patient's desolation behind a ventilator. Or a doctor's despair at facing limited supplies. The truth was, the safety afforded by my age and clinical inexperience meant that I was shielded from the worst outcomes. Meanwhile, those at the hospital seemed to conduct their duties with ineffable courage and grit. Over the next few weeks, messages flooded in which helped to bridge the physical distance. In the invisible space once occupied by warmth and companionship, I began to witness the resurgence of a greater empathy. Paradoxically, our isolation drew us closer to the realities we would be fighting for. Our friends, our family, the wider community; their wellbeing. We were tasked with the responsibility of looking out for each other beyond the clinical setting. Reaching out took on a different meaning, but an important one nonetheless. It was a strange and beautiful experience to be bound by this common humanity. Like many others, I hoped that one day soon, we would look back on this time with a certain fondness for the connections we sustained and cherished. -

Email Cancelling Disney College Program Fall Advantage 2020
The picture I have included in this post is a copy of the email sent out to many of the upcoming Disney College Program Participants. Unfortunately, all the future Disney Cast Members who were scheduled to arrive in May were notified that their program was cancelled. I was accepted to participate in the Disney College Program for the Fall Program, and I am supposed to arrive in August. Due to my arrival date, my program is still scheduled to proceed as planned. My heart goes out to all the students who had gotten their hopes up and made plans to work and live in Disney World for the rest of the year. I can’t fathom how devastating that must be for them. And, while this cancellation doesn’t directly affect me, it does scare me. Even though my program is still scheduled to proceed, that could change any day and I too could receive the devastating email stating that my program has been cancelled. Honestly, I don’t really know how to feel. While I’m happy that I am still scheduled to go, I know that it could be taken away from me at any minute. I am truly sorry for the Spring 2020 and Fall Advantage 2020 students whose programs were cut short or completely cancelled. In response to this email, my student advisor thought that it would be a good idea to register for Fall 2020 classes at my college just in case the Disney College Program doesn’t work. While I’m glad that I have a plan to fall back on if necessary, I wish I didn’t have to. When I received my acceptance email to the Disney College Program, it was one of the most exciting moments of my life because this is something that I have wanted to do for years. And the thought that it could be taken away and I would have to come up with a Plan B is really disheartening. -

Calm before the Storm
This was on a nice, sunny Monday. Students were enjoying the weather, looking forward to spring break and "Staller season". The very next day, there were a series of emails announcing the transition to online classes followed by the complete shut down of the campus days after. Due to COVID-19, events were canceled, students were forced to go back home, and people are worried. This video perfectly encapsulates how care free students were before things became serious. *Last week of classes before Spring Break -

Diary LM
CV diary Saturday 19 March 2020 I went to the walk today. Have missed the last two and the world has changed so much that I wasn't sure anyone was coming. But there were 5 of us, all keeping our distance. Three did not come because they are self isolating or fearful of having coffee with us ?? A lot of the discussion as we walked about the past two weeks - the virus , restrictions, shopping, toilet rolls, family situations, what is going to happen... G has just come out of two weeks isolation after her holiday in Egypt. D is under pressure from her daughter to change her life - e.g. Not to walk this morning. But she came. We all need the exercise and I/we need to see my friends. When we got to the coffee shop we were able to snag two tables outside. But that wasn't enough for M who moved her seat even further away. Each to their own. But hard not to feel the inherent rejection. G shared her hand sanitizer. During the walk I got a phone call from a friend, cancelling our plans for a film tomorrow. She was amazed that I was outside walking with friends and had stopped for a coffee. Said she and her husband have been in isolation since last Sunday. Cautioned me to do the same. When I got home I thought about my plans. I will go to church tomorrow (it was confirmed late today that the Diocese has belatedly decided to ban all services from Monday). Should I go to the gym on Monday? They seemed well organised last week. Should I cancel my lunch with Susan on Tuesday? Have not seen her since her mother died, I could not go to the funeral or the wake. And she seems quite distressed and needs support. On Wednesday I am expected to present at an important Board presentation to Club members. It is being taped and uploaded to our website for those who cannot get to the meeting. Should I cancel everything after that? LM -

Cancelled Tutoring Conference :(
I was excited to attend and present at this tutoring conference with my colleagues. Unfortunately, on the morning of Monday March 9th, we woke up to this email regarding its cancellation. The decision to cancel was a little before cases started rising nationwide in the US, so this move was more of a 'precaution' rather than a necessity at that moment. As I am posting this five days later, I realize that if we would've gone, there would've been all sorts of panic and anxiety among us and other attendees. Disappointing we couldn't go, but ultimately, I'm glad to be safe... -
