Being an ER doctor or someone working on the frontline is challenging at the best of times. Throw in a global pandemic and it takes challenging to a whole new level.

Dr. Mark Bruce is an emergency medicine physician in Wisconsin. He has also travelled with the international medical ministry in Central America, Asia, Europe, and Africa, and led many teams into the Asian disaster zones for medical relief work.

In addition to clinical duties, Dr. Bruce is the Ambassador to Belize and Canada for the American College of Emergency Physicians.

Having practiced emergency medicine for 40 years, Dr. Bruce says he is familiar with the feelings of being overwhelmed, frustration, helplessness, and even depression.

"It isn’t much fun. I know how easy it is to be on the slippery slope of feelings. One cannot live one’s life based on feelings. My faith has carried me through these difficult times. I have tried to put my giftedness at God’s disposal, allowing Him to use me as He sees fit; amazing things can happen then," he said.

Today Dr. Bruce will share his story, what's it's like being an ER doctor during a pandemic and how his faith helps him get by.
