Dr. Kim’s tough COVID fight shows this virus is serious
LIKE MANY others, I’d like to express my profound pleasure to know Dr. Charles Kim has survived his battle with COVID-19.
Dr. Kim is a great heart surgeon and a just all-around nice guy. He and his team of operating room professionals, known as the “Pit Crew,” have saved countless New Mexicans’ lives, mine included.
Anyone who read the Journal’s Aug. 8 article about him now knows COVID-19 almost killed him, not just once, but three times. They now understand the intensity of his suffering and the skill and dedication of the doctors and others who battled to save his life.
My plea to the unvaccinated is just go do it. We’re past the point of politics or personal recrimination, just get vaccinated. Just be a hero. Protect yourself and everyone around you. It’s the right thing to do. CHARLES O. ATWOOD Albuquerque
