Corona PIF

[Hannah's Dad]

We’re all in this this together, friends. I‘d like to send out a couple of items that might create some distraction. What better scent to distract than Tabac (90% full AS). I’ll also include a nice cashmere synthetic brush.

(Regrettably, this is for CONUS only.)

I’d like to send these items to a frontline medical professional — anyone that is caring for the sick and dying. If that’s you, and you can share with us your role so we can send thoughts and prayers in your direction, feel free to enter.

Maybe the Tabac could either scare away the virus, or give a patient a reason to fight another day.

A special thank-you to @Nobeard (Tom) for helping to fund this PIF. Thanks, Tom!

Be safe, my friends.

Great gesture. Not a medico myself.

Wonderful PIF. Not in the front lines, so not in. Beautiful brush though.

I'm in, thank you.
EMT here. I also do American Red Cross Disaster Relief and private military / security.

There's not a lot we can do here that we weren't already doing. Wear gloves? Check. Put on a face mask if patient is sick? Check.

I'm a nursing student, so I don't think I qualify for the PIF but thought I'd share the role I provide in the hospital. As a first-semester student, there are still a few things I can't do, like inserting NG tubes and urinary catheters (check-offs for those in the next couple weeks), but I have been administering oral and parenteral medication, including flu shots, pneumonia vaccines, and insulin injections. I've helped feed patients who couldn't do for themselves and kept some company who just needed someone to talk to. I am able to help bathe patients and provide basic wound care. The most exciting thing happened a few weeks ago when I lucked into joining a couple of surgeries (the first a cholecystectomy, the second an ovarian cyst removal), where my inexperience limited me to just helping move the patient from the operating table into the hospital bed. The current pandemic has certainly made for an interesting time to be in the medical field, even in a limited capacity.

You qualify in my book!! Thanks for all you’re doing, my friend.

Fantastic PIF! Not in as I only married into the medical field. I hope this will make someone on the front lines very happy! My wife is a first-year medical resident and she’s challenged by this environment on a daily basis. Hopefully the curve will flatten and we’ll come out on the other side soon!

 

[Hannah's Dad]

Big thanks to Mike (@NoScrubs ) for just PayPalling me money to help with shipping costs for this PIF. Awesome, brother!

 

[BigJ]

Wonderful PIF: especially these days!!

Respectfully not in as I don’t qualify.

 

[Ad Astra]

Not in, but that brush is gorgeous!

Admiration and respect going out for @Hannah's Dad and @NoScrubs !

This forum is giving some nice distraction right about now ...

Not eligible. Just relieved to know that the PIF wasn't the virus.

Web shavers at B&B are so warmly hearted.

May God bless the frontline medical people.

@Hannah's Dad - that is just an awesome thing to do!
What a great PIF for a health care provider on the front line fighting this terrible virus and taking care of the sick.

Very nice PIF during these times, respectfully not in!

 

[DocPapi]

Fantastic PIF, but respectfully I'm not in. I have some wilderness first aid training, and I'm married to an ex-nurse, but I'm not involved in the current situation in any meaningful way. Just doing my best to check in from time to time with neighbors, friends, and my students to make sure they are OK. There are many emerging stories of people helping people that are simply inspiring, and that includes your PIF. Well done, sir!

I’m not a medical professional but I must say the generosity of members here always impresses me!

 

[KeenDogg]

Great generosity, gang. God Bless you

 

[dangerousrazor]
