Mar 16 Do no harm

Brent Barry

life lessons

I am a type A personality with a need to do something. In crisis my response is to do things—act, help, create, take care of, be useful.

In these early days of the COVID crisis I get “to do” one thing. I get to follow the first axiom of bioethics, “do no harm.”

It is completely counter-intuitive for my type A personality but this means to stay put where I live, do not hoard supplies, and refrain from shaming those who I think are over-reacting and under-reacting.

There will be days ahead in this crisis for my type A personality to be useful, helpful, active. But not now. Do no harm.
