Not a vent or rant but I'm now just over a week into what might be a multi month assignment. The community health care agency I work for as a driver is now acting as primary health care provider to refugees who are housed at a nearby hotel. I in turn am now dedicated to taking them to and from the various clinics they need to attend.
Over 200 refugees at this hotel with many of them being young children.
And of course as more permanent housing is found for them the next wave will arrive.
Language is an issue; the nurses doing the assessment at the hotel normally have an interpreter or can use a phone system, likewise at the clinics the same options exist. However one the trips I'm normally just with the clients.
Of course today almost all the staff have sniffles.... Here's hoping we survive.
