Faith in Between

"The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God..." Romans 14:22

It is so easy to talk about another's faith, while the Bible simply says not to. Faith is just between you and God. Let it be so.

Romans Alarm Clock

"Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed." Romans 13:11

Wake up. It really is time to wake from sleep. Time to walk again with God, evermore.

COVID-19 Infection Party

I started out my December in the department of Pulmonology. My rotations were with a professor specializing in allergies, but, nonetheless, I did have to see some pneumonia patients as well.

I especially remember a certain patient admitted for pneumonia and pleural effusion. He was about ready to leave the hospital after a few days, however, on a certain morning, I found his chest x-ray to be near white. Something happened, and his condition just plummeted. He and his family was discussed for POLST. Later, we found out that his caretaker was tested positive for COVID-19. I guess I never realized how quickly the disease could bring someone down.

Thankfully, the patient is holding onto his life. I really have no idea if he'll ever be fine enough to walk out the hospital, but he is definitely surviving.

On the other hand, this was my first time ever to catch COVID-19. It's funny how I was in and out of the isolation ward for so long to have caught it now. In any case, I guess the bright side of it all was that I was excused from work. Though only for a week, it was great to stay home and relax. The symptoms were really tough. Sore throat really killed in the mornings. 

I'm hoping the rest of the month is easy going. Hopefully.
