·…and that happened today.
A young, 25 year-old runner came into my practice with multiple soft tissue injuries to her hip. She’s an emergency room nurse.
During the course of treating her, and chatting about the weekend, she mentioned, in passing, that she was going to New York to continue her participation in the Moderna vaccine trials which now involve the booster.
So, this young girl, with all the unanswered risks that one encounters from participating in medical trials, selflessly agreed to be a guinea pig so that the rest of us could potentially benefit and live.
I had to ask myself a hard question: would I have done it? The truth? No. On top of it, she was so humble about doing it, never grandstanding, and was happy to help. It was difficult for me to keep my eyes from welling up. What a wonderful experience to meet someone with so much humanity and compassion.
