by Lyle Fettig (@FettigLyle)I ’ve been thinking about my role as a physician in responding to skepticism about a range of COVID topics, especially as we approach the holidays and all the tension about difficult recommendations to forgo traditional Thanksgiving dinners. As I think about our current situation, I can’t help but recall an encounter I had with a patient many years ago.In winter 2008 after President Obama was first elected, I saw a woman in clinic who said she was disappointed by the election result.
