I can't pinpoint the moment exactly, but several years ago I began to notice that many of our ER patients were presenting for treatment wearing nice fluffy fleece bottoms. For the older patients, it seemed like the characters from the adult-cartoons The Simpsons and The Family Guy were a big hit. Little Pony is my favorite!"

So I first want to just say thank you to Ernesto’s family. And I met with his family over Zoom, which was how many of us had to meet with families during that time.
