IMVU Name: isueJan
Real Profession: Medical Assistant
Tell us a little bit about you and what you do for work in rl:
I'm the medical assistant to a gynecologist. I organize patient files,
take vitals, assist with exams and procedures and I maintain the
medical supply inventory.
How has the global pandemic affected your job?
Not very much to be honest. I had a reduced salary and work schedule
for maybe about a month. We've just ramped up our cleanliness and hygiene
practices as well as prevented more people from attending appointments
with patients to reduce the number of contacts.
How have you been staying positive during this time?
It's been so hard! I live with my mother and sister who are a retiree and
teacher respectively. My mother is also 60+ and asthmatic so it's been hard.
How I stayed sane was with exercise and getting into things with my hands
like cooking. It's helped me feel more purposeful especially when I'm home
scared of the outside world
