COVID-19 has taken over the world with
And amidst all this chaos, this picture of a physician proves that the medics are no less than soldiers, fighting day and night in the battlefield to reduce casualties, reported News18. When this Twitter user named Kristin Fisher asked her 73-year-old father (who is an emergency room physician) how he was doing, he sent her his picture.
This is my Dad. He’s a 73 year old Emergency Room physician in Texas who loves his job and will never retire.
He texted me this picture tonight after I’d asked him how he was doing, and I burst into tears the second I saw it. My reaction came out of nowhere… pic.twitter.com/YOiMT5sImy— Kristin Fisher (@KristinFisher) March 17, 2020
In the pic, he was seen standing in the middle of a hospital wearing a face mask and gloves. Kristin then posted his picture on Twitter saying that she burst into tears the second she saw it.
In a corresponding tweet, she said that this was the moment when the gravity of what’s happening around us finally hit her.
…I’d been watching Narcos and laughing seconds earlier. I called him to say I was worried about him, but could barely speak as I fought to keep my voice steady. I think we all have a moment where the gravity of what’s happening finally hits us. This was mine.

God bless your father. I’ll keep him and us all in my prayers.

She told me she loved me but we needed to plan on FaceTime & playing games online. My grandkids can’t come over. I suffered a a respiratory injury 6 yrs ago and am high risk. I’m single & those kids are my everything. I know she’s right & trying to accept but can’t quit crying

I have a close family member who is an ER physician and an infectious disease senior fellow in Alabama. The stress these healthcare providers and first responders are under is unreal.
We owe them our gratitude and our daily prayers. Tell your dad thank you, from me and mine.
