To Help Battle Covid-19, a Hospital Borrows Tactics From Combat Veterans
Counseling sessions for healthcare workers in Growing Forward program at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Hospital chaplain Mark Schimmelpfennig, also an army veteran, brings techniques helping troops deal with combat trauma to healthcare setting after he hears nurses using language in conversation that sounded like what he had heard in combat zones. Nurses still talk about how they have feelings of guilt- not knowing how to treat desperate patients, worrying about bringing covid-19 home to families. Nurse Arbie Karasek says the chaplain ("Chaps") was super valuable at a time when nurses are so tired, it actually brought her to tears realizing that all the time they were like troops in a combat zone, exhausted at the end of the day, sore all over from physical exertion.
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
