“What you’re doing is scary and hard and should not be necessary. As a rapid responder in the Chicago area, I know how it feels. Take breaks, eat decent food, prioritize your sleep and whatever you need to do to ground yourself before and after your shifts and rapid response calls. Hug each other if it helps, lay on the floor if it helps, lose yourself in silly smartphone games or tv or really long showers. The work is hard. What you’re doing is holy. Chicago sends you our love.”
