COMMUNITY SUBMISSION: Wynn, Labrador Retriever (1 y/o), Denver, CO • “I am an Emergency Physician. I have been raising Wynn for Canine Companions for Independence and she is a year old now. She comes to the ER and stays within our social workers’ inner office, so no one touches her but staff can wash up and have a moment with her. She has saved us because we are very stressed and anxious. Sometimes too busy to be scared. My wish for everyone would be that they not worry about getting a test and just presume themselves positive and consider every surface potentially contaminated and act accordingly. It just means physical distance, wash before and after touching anything. We can find comfort in each other when we know I have your back and you have mine.” @docplusdog
美國新冠肺炎疫情嚴峻,醫療體系也承受巨大的壓力,在這風聲鶴唳的時刻,1歲拉布拉多Wynn成為急診辦公室中的小天使,帶給醫護人員即時有效的療癒力。
臉書粉絲團The Dogist分享這個故事,照片中,急診室醫生Denvor帶著防護罩疲憊坐在醫院的地上,而一旁則是他的愛犬Wynn。Wynn正在接受治療犬訓練,面對突如其來的新冠肺炎疫情,1歲的牠最棒的療癒效果,Wynn最近會待在急診內部的辦公室,前來就診的病患不會與牠接觸,但是醫護人員休息時間清潔後可以享受跟Wynn的療癒時光。
Denvor表示,「牠救贖了我們,因為我們所有人都處在龐大壓力與焦慮之中,有時甚至忙到沒時間害怕。」新冠肺炎疫情在美國已經造成恐慌,許多超市的日常物資被搶購一空,Denvor在文中提到,為了防疫請保持接觸距離、在觸摸東西前後都洗手,希望所有人不要害怕接受檢驗,並且抱持正面的心態來面對疫情,「當我們知道我身後有你、你身後有我,那我們彼此就能找到慰藉。」
