My Journey, How One Medical Doctor Helped People Handle Difficult Times During the Pandemic
I am pleased to announce the publication of my first book, available for purchase on Amazon.com in Kindle, paperback and hardcover.
“My Journey, How One Medical Doctor Helped People Handle Difficult Times During the Pandemic,” tells the story of real people who listened to and watched my videos over the past three years.
This book captures my journey as a physician educator on social media. It is my true story. Over the past three years, millions listened to my content on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and my private Instagram account for information.
“Dr. Rhonda” (as I was called by many viewers) was a calming voice to many in this virtual community; while others reacted with criticism to my content. ‘My Journey’ is a screenshot of a time of uncertainty.
“My Journey, How One Medical Doctor Helped People Handle Difficult Times During the Pandemic,” documents the myriad of emotional states of viewers ranging from confusion, fear, anxiety, anger, weariness, appreciation and gratitude.
‘My Journey’ also addresses the issues of trust and mistrust. Did you ever find it difficult to trust the information you were told about the new coronavirus or the vaccines? Many of my viewers did. They shared their distrust of the government, big pharma, the medical profession. You may find yourself self-identifying with some of these comments.
Who did you rely on for accurate information? For some viewers, I was one of their trusted messengers for pandemic information and education.
I dedicated my book to the thousands of community outreach workers worldwide who shared similar goals as I had — to increase knowledge and awareness and instill skills that would help listeners to prevent and reduce the risk of serious disease and death by this new coronavirus. Our calling is not an easy calling, but many of us continue to travel this path.
