Reflections on COVID-19: The 6-Word and 55-Word Stories Around Us |
As healthcare providers, we experience a lot of intense situations and tend to have little time to reflect on these experiences. This is amplified by the current conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. As our institution continues to prepare to meet the local healthcare demands, we recognize that this situation has created a unique environment for all of us. The way that we experience it varies.
Reflective writing is an avenue for exploring how these situations affect us, and it provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of what our medical practice means to us, our patients, and to others. Sharing these stories increases our connectedness, strengthens our community, and encourages us to continue our collective pursuit to advance healing and reduce suffering.
We invite you to participate in one, or both, of these exercises and hope that it helps you process your experience.
