Vacation?

 I am off this week. I will be off 3 out of the four weeks in December. Off normally means no work. In the work I do, people suffer if I am not there. New patients that call for sick family members wait for a call back. We have all been in a position that we call a doctor's office and wait on pins and needles for them to return our call. If I do not call, no one will. We no longer have a staff, since Covid. My problem has always been that I put myself in other people's shoes and feel what they feel. So, on vacation, I will still make my calls to ease the pain of other people. The only compensation I will get is knowing that I did the right thing.
