The Artisan is an ideal choice for a business lunch
He said: "My wife is a bit of a germ freak. She made a station for me in the garage, and I changed there before I went into my home. I went to work in a pair of scrubs, had another pair in my bag, and changed my work shoes in the car. I only entered the house through the garage. Once, I changed my clothes, I would head straight to the shower." Like many medical professionals, Dr Samuel also took to sleeping in a different room.
Matters got trickier for the doctor once his baby was born. With his in-laws moving in, he had to find a safer alternative. "The hospital had offered accommodation in association with the Hilton Group with $25 in food allowances," he said. Since that would mean more distance from his family, the RVs for MDs initiative came as a saving grace.
"My wife found the group on Facebook and RV rentals take anything between $150 and $300 per day, usually. I luckily matched up with RV owner Edward Lau and he dropped it off on my driveway and set up the whole thing for me," said Dr Samuel. He has been living in the RV for the past two weeks, and though he is away from his family, he can still see and interact with them from a safe distance.
"My son has a habit of running up to me, expecting me to lift him and throw him up into the air. I've not been able to do any of that. I still have some meals with them, but I sit away from them," he said. The family hopes things would return to normal soon.
