Lately as I pass the lawn signs and billboards and banners thanking health-care workers for their heroism, I feel proud of my husband’s part in combating the pandemic. Much has been written about the toll covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has taken on people like my husband. ADIn our family, medicine isn’t just what my husband, John, does, it’s who he is. Like so many other spouses and siblings and children and friends of health-care workers, I supported his decision — with anxiety. My husband sometimes jokes that given the nature of disease and politics, he will never have to worry about job security.
