The next morning, another text, “Hope you’re feeling better,” she wrote. I am, and much of it has to do with Atra Robinson.
After home-testing negative for Covid the day before, I called in for help. It was 4:50 p.m. Tuesday. For days, I had been running a high fever (at least for me) along with subtle flu-like symptoms. I was transferred to Atra Robinson. She asked me a series of questions... things that hadn’t occurred to me. After hearing my answers, she encouraged me to take medication to get my fever down and to take the second home Covid test. She asked me to call her back with the results and that we would make a plan based on that second result. It didn’t matter that she was to leave work that day at 5 p.m. I did as she instructed.
When I called and told her the test came back negative again, she strongly encouraged me to get to the Walk-in Clinic. She let me know that they close at 6 p.m., so I knew I had a narrow window. Turns out I had a serious infection that was working its way through my digestive system. The person I saw at the clinic said he was very glad I came in when I did, and I likely “dodged a bullet” by not waiting. I was prescribed a heavy-dose antibiotic.
Two hours later, I was home with my antibiotics and happily back in bed. I heard my phone ding for a text. It was Atra checking in on me! What a lovely thing to do. I told her what happened. She even offered some prevention tactics which I will definitely look at. The next morning, another text, “Hope you’re feeling better,” she wrote. I am, and much of it has to do with Atra Robinson. Thank you, Atra!
