Hi, I’m Sarah Johnson. The last couple of years have been really hard. For most of my career I’ve been sort of a happy warrior for medicine. I watched as HIV ripped through my community, but then with medical advances, I was able to fight back, and educate – I really made a difference. But COVID really broke me. First it was just the volume of people in my neighborhood getting sick and the not being able to help. But after that first year, after people stopped clapping at 6pm for us… The anger and doubt around the vaccine, the conspiracy theories… I was exhausted and demoralized just trying and failing to get people to protect their own health. I got so angry. I’m still so angry. I’ve stopped practicing medicine and started teaching public health, which has been better, but to be candid, I still feel lost.
