Episode 43: Pandemic Reflections: A Physician's Perspective
In early April I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Dawn Perry Ewing. Dr. Perry has been practicing as a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist and senior administrative physician in the Turks and Caicos Islands Since 2001. This episode was recorded just after the one year mark of the first diagnosed COVID 19 case in the TCI. We discussed what the first days of the pandemic were like, all the way up to the present. Dr. Perry shed light on many issues related to vaccine hesitancy as well as shared with us what it has been like for health care professionals over the last year and the ways in which they have been brought together. In addition to being one of the founders of Omnicare Medical, Dr. Perry is the Chief of Medical Services at InterHealth Canada here in the TCI and is the wife of the former Premier, Ministry of Health and Surgeon Hon. Dr. Rufus Ewing. Together Dr. Perry and Dr. Ewing have a son, Stuart, who is also pursuing a career in medicine
