Abstract

This allegorical poem describes the fears and uncertainties faced by the author in the COVID-19 circuit breaker period, from compliance to health advisories as understanding of the contagion evolved, from conflict of responsibilities to family, patients and teaching, and from managing the CME points requirements of the resilience webinars. Four bonsai compositions of legendary Chinese figurines are used as metaphors for the themes of the webinars.
