It was the beginning of the COVID pandemic and I had contracted the virus. There were no medications that had been approved for treatment yet, and I was struggling. The symptoms got worse, and I got weaker. I eventually recovered through the help of my loved ones and through the care of a doctor who chose to go the extra mile. His name is Dr. Nick Gillespie and he is my friend as well as my physician.
What makes Nick special is his combined love for medicine as well as for people. It is easy to say we care about others. Demonstrating our words through our actions is another story. I have known Nick for nearly 25 years and I have watched as he has gone the extra mile to serve his patients and his community. Nick donned PPE clothes (gown, gloves, mask, etc) and came to my house to check on and treat me during my 6 weeks bout with the virus. He was determined to do everything possible to see that I returned to good health.
That’s why I want you to hear from him. In this edition of our Crossing The Line podcast, Nick shares 10 secrets that guide his life. The conversation is fun and goes everywhere because of Nick’s brilliant brain. The content is purposeful and relevant to all of us. Take a few minutes and listen to our short conversation about his top 10 values.
When we choose to put actions to our words, we will make a difference.
