Idon’t know about you, but this is the point of the summer where I am just over it. Over the heat. Over the humidity. Over the season, and ready for fall. Unfortunately, cooler days are still a month, maybe more, away. It’s times like these where we can really fall into a rut. Some call it “burnout.” Feeling burned out, whether at work, at school or even just with the weather, is a real problem that many people face, especially with the ever-lingering trauma of COVID lurking in the background. But while unsettling, it’s a perfectly natural state, and one that can be eased with a few lifestyle changes. We’ve got tips for the body and the mind to help navigate these dog days of summer, the effects of burnout and waning pandemic life. This is also our annual “Top Doctors” issue, in which we highlight professionals who are doing the most, especially right now, to keep us all healthy - a tall order indeed. The past couple of years have been challenging for these dedicated professionals, who have navigated the early days of COVID, through waves of variants and vaccines, to a new reality of not-quite-post-pandemic. Talk about burnout, indeed.

Our cover feature profiles pediatric immunologist Dr. Luke Wall, who shepherds his patients, and their families, not only through routine allergies and immunological issues, but took on the nearly overwhelming challenge of diagnosing and treating the unknown impacts of COVID-19 on children. We also get an insider’s look at the impacts of the pandemic on emergency medicine physicians across New Orleans. From the very beginning, these everyday heroes have been on the front lines of the fight to save lives, while also navigating the challenges of keeping themselves and their families safe, both in body and in spirit. Many of us have much to be grateful for with the advances of COVID-19 treatments, vaccines and boosters, along with the dedication of healthcare professionals to guide us through the pandemic storm. Now’s the time to refill our well of gratitude, put out the “burnout” fires and move into a new phase of rest and recovery. Cooler weather is coming; hang in there. MCLELLAN,
The stadium was demolished in 1957 to make way for a fancy new resort called the Fontainebleau Hotel. Back then Tulane Avenue (which is an extension of Airline Highway) was seen as the gateway to New Orleans. Tulane was being spiffed up to make a grander entrance. What wasn’t factored in, though, was that work had begun on I-10 which would loop into downtown New Orleans. Tulane Avenue, like many old highways throughout the country, could not compete with the interstate. The Pelicans played in City Park’s Tad Gormley Stadium for a couple of years and then the franchise was sold to Little Rock. Eventually another team, using the Pelicans name, played in the Superdome, but that venture was too expensive for minor league baseball. The last vestige of minor league baseball was the Zephyrs/ Baby Cakes playing in their own stadium at Zephyr Field. Curiously, that too was along Airline Highway. Baseball had truly moved to the suburbs. SEND US YOUR Poydras is looking for something to do. Send your questions to julia@myneworleans.com and be sure to include your name and information.

The marker is headed by the words “Heinemann Park/Pelican Sta dium.” The problem is that if I catch a red light, it turns green by the time I get to the marker’s explanation, so I never get to read it.

Here is what the rest of the sign says: "Home of New Orleans’ first professional sports team, baseball’s New Orleans Pelicans. The “Pels” played home games here from the park’s construction in 1915 through its demolition in 1957. Negro league teams such as the Black Pelicans and the Creoles used this site for their home games as well. The stadium also hosted many Major League Baseball spring training camps and exhibition games, which featured such legends as Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Jackie Robinson."

26 AUGUST 2022 that wasn’t necessarily the original idea, either. The idea was just creative sandwiches to some degree. I grew up in a small city with a dozen places where you get a sandwich, that was not a deli sandwich…That just didn’t really exist in New Orleans, and that was one of my favorite ways to dine. So I immediately saw an opportunity there. Q: Did you imagine you’d become as popular as you did as quickly as you did? Not in my wildest dreams! The first year hasn’t worn off at all, because it is so unexpected. It was just one thing after another that first year and we had such a good group of people that were all really excited to be with each other. So every time something happened, it was just this like, epic party, fountain of happiness moments, and it was pretty incredible to be in that restaurant that first year because it was fucking nuts. I think it was timing. I mean, we joke when we say, you know, we are literally the most overrated sandwich shop. Granted, we do try really hard for consistency, and I do think we put out a good product. I 100% believe we’re overrated; it’s impossible for one place to have gotten all that that first year. But it was just where the dining scene was. Food media was excited by the prospect of this casual joint. I think that if we’d done it a different year, it wouldn’t have been the same recipe for success, if any

W hether aornewcookingyou’rearecipesharingmealwith your family, food should be fun. And fun is the vibe that local chef Mason Hereford wants to bring to his restaurants, Turkey and the Wolf and Molly’s Rise & Shine. Hereford opened his first restaurant, Turkey and the Wolf, in 2017 to much fanfare and high praise - being named best new restaurant by “Bon Appetite,” Eater and “Food & Wine,” among many others. Most recently, Hereford and his sous chefs Colleen Quarls and Liz Hollinger appeared on the first episode of the most recent Netflix season of “Iron Chef,” going up against celebrity chef Curtis Stone in a street food-themed battle. Between his restaurants, TV appearances, national and international acclaim and a shipwreck incident that delayed the release of his first cookbook “Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans,” we cover a lot with this month’s big personality.
Q: Tell us about "Iron Chef." Somebody called me and said, “Hey, you want to be on the show?” And I said, “honestly, we don’t do compe tition, cooking shows, they seem hard.” And, you know, the very real possibility of losing doesn’t sound very fun. But we realized with "Iron Chef" is it’s like about people at the height of like their game. And it’s going up against people that would be, not to sound cliche, but like almost an honor to lose to and it’s like, well, we can deal with that. I made sure they were down with us really being ourselves and they were so we said we’d give it a try. To continue this conversation, visit our website MyNewOrleans.com

one person wasn’t in that room. As far as the team working like every single thing was perfect pieces to a puzzle that just erupted. I think if you took anything out from the person working the counter to our managers, to the timing to the, to the timing of the food writers who were dining there, like everything just happened in a way where it became bigger than it probably deserved. It was pretty incredible.

Q: You can definitely tell that y’all are having fun doing what you’re doing! Thank you for saying that. That is one thing that we go for. It is a vibe we purposely put out but also it is the way we are trying to live it there. I realized early on when we'd get an inquiry for something saying “hey, are you interested in being interviewed for this fall article for Food & Wine” about restaurants that do updates on after-school snacks; instead of writing back a very formal email, we just wrote back, "fuck yeah!!!” And I think that was refreshing to some people being like, "Oh, these people are like in the middle of service responding on their cell phone into this text." Q: Why was now the time to write a cookbook? I didn’t assume that there was a group of people that were on pins and needles waiting for some of these recipes. My brother is a very talented photographer, probably a more properly established photographer than I am a cook. He’s done a few cookbooks and been nominated for some awards and shit. My coauthor JJ moved to New Orleans for a year. We became buddies back when I was working at Coquette and he would dine there. He was also friends with my brother, so the two of them said it was time to write a book. They basically came to me casually, and were like, "Dude, it’s time let’s do something." WEB EXTRA EXCLUSIVE: SHIPWRECK SAGA! FInd out what happened at sea, plus more on Hereford's culinary background.
Favorite activity around the city: When I was younger, I was definitely rollerblading around the skate park. And I like disc golf.
Q: Where did the idea of Turkey and the Wolf come from? I didn’t start thinking, “Oh, we’re gonna reinvent this sort of food from our youth." I think, sometimes we fall in the category of comfort food, and BY

Tapping on through their chin and nose and somebody else’sButforehead.evenwith them tried-and-true solutions, things go wrong. Before the show, I have to lead everybody, in groups of five, to walk QUIETLY (in tap shoes) down the hall behind the stage to make wee-wee in the restroom. This means helping them wiggle out of their costumes, which include tights, and pulling them back on. Each one then washes their hands, checks if everybody else washes their hands, and tells on them if they don’t. If that ain’t enough drama, some fool left a huge potted cactus plant out in the hall by the restroom. Flambeau is intrigued. I tell her, “Now don’t touch it. It’s prickly.” “What if I fall asleep and acciden tally touch it?” she says. Then she closes her eyes and steps toward it like she’s sleepwalking. “IT WILL COME ALIVE AND EAT YOU!” I yell, loud enough for the entire audience to hear. So much for making them walk quietly in tapNow,shoes.Gloriosa herself took dance from Ms. Tiffani when she was little, and so did two of Flambeau’s little classmates’ mamas. So Ms. Tiffani asks them to be in a mother-daughter dance. Just stand behind the girls and do a simple shuffle to the tune of “Baby GloriosaFace.”isall excited about it until her costume arrives - in a plastic sandwich bag. The entire costume. A leotard with leg holes slit up to THERE and a neckline cut wayyy low. If you pull it up, it shows too much backside and if you stretch it down, you ooze out on top. She calls up the other two mommies, and they decide to ask Ms. Larda to make them old fashioned “tap panties” which are like shorts with ruffles, to wear over the leotards. So when it’s time for the mommydaughter dance, three little girls in leotards plus sparkly tutus clomp out on the stage, and three mommies in tap pants scuttle directly behind them. Ms. Tiffani, over on the side, calls “Five, six, seven eight!” just like they were real dancers, and most of them tap one toe or the other, and do various steps not exactly in synchrony, and finally tappity-tap off the stage. And that’s when Gloriosa’s tap panties decide to slither down, down, and off. Being a experienced performer, she knows to just step out of them and keep going. But before the curtain can drop, Flambeau scurries back out and retrieves them. Some people in the audience cheer and a few grandmas choke on their Popeyes and have to be hammered on the back. But they survive. It was a dance review worth remembering. Better than a hurricane.
28 AUGUST 2022
These days, lot of people would rather have dogs than kids. Probably because you don’t have to go to dance recitals for dogs. My little niece Flambeau went to Tiffani’s Tap, Toe and Tumble Summer Day Camp, and every day she spent a couple hours stomping around to music, while her mama, my sisterin-law Gloriosa, got some peace. But now it’s payday. The Recital. I think Gloriosa was counting on either a COVID wave or a hurricane scare bad enough to get it cancelled at the last minute. You never get bad luck when you needAnyway,it. the Gunches been to our fair share of dance recitals. We know the drill. Our advance squad gets there when the doors open, chooses arow of seats, sits fat, and occupies as many chairs as they can. The second squad comes a little later with the fried chicken.

Seen here crossing the Bogue Falaya River in Covington is the short-lived gasoline-driven motorcar that once transported local residents, day-trippers and vacationers from a steamboat pier on the Mandeville lakefront north to Abita Springs and then on to Covington.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, steamboats such as the “New Camelia” and later trains carried city dwellers, fleeing yellow fever and summer heat, back and forth across the lake to hotels and summer houses on the Northshore. In the 1880s and 90s, land developers made fortunes promoting St. Tammany’s health-giving spring waters and so-called “Ozone” air while timber companies cleared virgin forests to make way for new developments.Asthepopulation in west St. Tammany grew, more convenient forms of transportation were needed to transport people from steamer landings in Mandeville to Abita Springs and Covington. In came land developers Clay Riggs and Joseph Birg in 1905. According to Louis Hennick and Harper Charlton’s 1998 book, “Street Railways of Louisiana,” Riggs and Birg bought large parcels of land between Mandeville and Covington. Then in 1906, they created the St. Tammany & New Orleans Railways and Ferry Co. Their plan was to build a motorcar line that would give New Orleanians direct passage to west St. Tammany first by steamboat from Milneburg and West End on the New Orleans lakefront to Mandeville and then by motorcar north to Abita Springs and Covington. The following year they convinced the St. Tammany Parish Police Jury and landowners in the Mandeville-Abita Springs-Covington area to pass a 10-year property tax to finance the project. Tracks were laid, stations built, and two gasoline-powered motorcars purchased. Service began on Feb. 13, 1909. The company soon added two more cars to the line. In 1915, the company reorganized as the St. Tammany & New Orleans Railways & Power Co. and converted most its motorcars to electricity, which required poles and electric wires be strung along the route from Mandeville to Covington. With their new diesel-powered generators, the company also provided electric power to the City of Mandeville. By 1917, as Hennick and Charlton noted in their history of the railway, the company was deep in debt and ridership had declined drastically. To pay creditors, the company shut down the line in June 1918 and sold off its cars and equipment to a St. Louis company for scrap.

CALL ANSWERING THE TREATING BETH D’ADDONO / photography by THERESA CASSAGNE
THE MOST UNPREDICTABLEDURINGVULNERABLETHEMOSTTIME by
Within his practice, at the main campus of Children’s Hospital in Uptown New Orleans, Children’s Hospital Outpatient Center of Baton Rouge, and Children’s Hospital Northshore Center in Covington, he sees everyone from the tiniest newborns to young adults up to 21. Within a range of allergies and immune disorders, his work can be routine or, during COVID, heartbreakingly tragic. But he’s never been surer of his calling.
ANYTHING BUT TYPICAL
Growing up in the country, Wall was captivated by wildlife and the rhythms of nature. “I had a strong interest in biology life sciences.” And Dr. while his family wasn’t formally educated, their natural curiosity and healthy leavening of common sense was formidable. “In so many ways farmers are scientists, always experimenting to see what works.” About 20 years ago, his father started an aluminum welding business serving boats and trucks. “He’s a genius, my dad. Without any formal training, he can do anything he sets his mind to.”
Wall was the first graduate of Springfield High School to go to medical school. His wife Nicole trained as an RN, also the first in her family to pursue a medical career. She worked at Children’s first, capturing Wall’s interest with her experiences as he started medical school. “Her passion for her pediatric patients and the close bonds she formed with the staff made an impression on me.” Wall attended LSU for his undergrad and did the rest of his training at The School of Medicine, LSU Health in New Orleans. After a pediatrics residency at Children’s Hospital, he worked another year as chief resident, homing in on allergy and immunology as his focus. The couple lived in Kenner while he was in school, and moved to Hammond when they started a family. In addition to his clinical work, Wall, 42, serves as an assistant professor of Pediatrics in the Clinical Allergy/Immunology Division, also at LSU Health New Orleans. He is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and American Board of Allergy and Immunology. “There is a growing population of children with allergies and immune disorders. I enjoy working with families to solve their children’s health issues and watch them grow into productive people.”
34 AUGUST 2022 Luke Wall likens his clinical pediatric immunology practice to staring up at the stars. “There are certain things we can see, and we know,” he said. “But there’s a tremendous amount that is unknown. Even the volume of knowledge that has been documented, which is huge, the mystery and the unknown still goes so much deeper than that.”
THE FIRST IN HIS CLASS Wall and his wife Nicole both grew up in the little town of Springfield, a farming community about an hour outside of New Orleans, just west of Ponchatoula. On his dad’s side, the family all farmed strawberries. “I grew up running barefoot through strawberry fields,” he recalled. His dad made his living as a commercial fisherman, crabbing and shrimping in between working in petroleum plants. His mom had a salon business, cutting hair at home. Wall’s interest in medicine was an anomaly. “I used to watch ‘Chicago Hope’ and ‘ER’ on TV, which, even though it was Hollywood, did show some of the challenges of medicine. But I didn’t know anybody personally who was a doctor.”
His grandparents on his mom’s side were equally resourceful - thinkers and readers who loved to figure out how things worked. Wall was in high school when he decided to become a doctor. His maternal grandparents supported him from the beginning. “They always believed I could do it,” he recalled. At one point, when his grandmother needed surgery, she asked her doctor if her grandson could watch. “While that didn’t happen, the doctor did arrange for me to come in and observe another procedure. That was my grandmother.” To this day, although these grandparents are no longer living, Wall thinks of them both, every time he makes a milestone. “When I told them what I wanted to do, I saw they knew it was going to happen.”
COVID was a game changer in every way, a frightening unknown disease that he worried would decimate young vulnerable patients, especially those who suffered from SCID. “We were afraid it would cause severe illness and death in many of our patients,” he recalled. Fortunately, that turned out not to be the case. Many of his patients literally went into a bubble until the vaccination was available to them or the current surge would decrease case transmission. Because the families of these at-risk patients essentially removed themselves from society, they were able stay alive, he said.
Wall’s experience practicing medicine during the pandemic was often terrifying. “It really took all of us by surprise. Now, only two years out, it’s hard to imagine how crazy things were. We were operating blindly. We had no anti-virals, nothing to treat our patients with. It made us so fearful for our patients with immunodeficiency. We were literally back to the early frontiers of medicine.”
On an average day, Wall sees children in clinic, many with common pediatric issues, like asthma, nasal allergies and skin conditions. “I love my specialty because you always have to be vigilant that something else might be going on, something deeper causing the problem.” Until the pandemic, the most profoundly ill children he treated were diagnosed, sometimes as infants, with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a genetic defect that prevents the immune system from doing its job. Infants with SCID appear healthy at birth but are highly susceptible to severe infections. Thankfully, it’s a rare condition, but these little ones presented the most challenges. In the most severe cases, the only option is a bone marrow transplant. Other children are treated with special infusions or antibiotics.
Wall and his wife know 15 people personally who died from COVID-19, some younger, healthy friends. “It was so scary. We lost some patients. Losing even one is a tragedy. The COVID pandemic has disproportion ately impacted patients with underlying medical conditions, including children with medical complexities.”
While he expected some of these patients to have more serious reactions to the virus, another scenario took him and his colleagues at Children’s by surprise. That was when a child came in with MIS-C -- multi system inflammatory syndrome in children – after being exposed to or having COVID. “In every case that I’ve seen, this was presenting in otherwise completely healthy children. These weren’t sickly kids that were at the doctor a lot. They were completely happy and healthy.”
“I have a lot of acquaintances who were not very familiar with what was really happening with this virus,” he recalled. “They spoke out strongly against masking, vaccines, statements based out of not understanding what was happening. I couldn’t be around that. We basically shut down our social life as a family outside of work. When I’d go to the hospital, I’d be surrounded by patients who are so afraid of getting the virus they were fearful to come into see their doctors. We took extreme precautions.”
TRUSTING SCIENCE
As a father to three children of his own, Wall was devastated for families affected at all levels by COVID-19. He was sometimes frustrated with the lack of awareness and grave concern shown by some families in dealing with potential exposure. Wall struggled mightily when he found himself in social situations where interactions called science into question.
It is critical that doctors make statements in a way that both inspires confidence and is always transparent, he added. “Medical science depends on an ever-evolving process. We expect to get new and better and more accurate information. We make recommendations based on that everevolving information.”
All the noise surrounding the pandemic stems from what Wall sees as a fundamental misunderstanding. “Of course, I wish that more people would have a deeper trust in medical professionals and their own medical provider as well as a trust in science,” he said. “I think the problem is, the general public thinks when science makes a statement it is an absolute fact. But really, that statement is what we know right now, it’s based on the data at this moment in time.”
Then the unimaginable happened. Typically, four to six weeks after COVID, a severe immune deregulation would occur. Everything in the child’s system would become inflamed including the heart, lungs, kidneys, grain, skin, eyes and gastrointestinal organs. The child would run a fever, have a rash, GI symptoms. In the severe cases, the children have gone into shock and heart failure. “Some of them never even had first symptoms,” he recalled. “A month later, within 24 to 48 hours, a completely healthy child would land in ICU and wind up on life support. “I’ve seen these patients spiral downhill faster than anything in my career, from infants up to teens. This is a brand-new condition. We were flying blind.” Early in the pandemic, Wall and his team started seeing alerts from the CDC, cases occurring in Europe. Then they started seeing it here, in the U.S. Then in New“WeOrleans.didour best to stabilize, but really no one really knew what was causing this. What specialty does this fall under, rheumatology, immunology, infectious disease? Who was steering the ship?” At Children’s the medical staff took a multi-disciplinary approach to treating these patients. Wall was called upon to help augment the immune response, to use various biologics and medication to reduce the inflammation. He is grateful that most of the several dozen he treated with MIS-C made a full recovery. But not all. “This was a new problem. We hadn’t seen this before. There’s a lot of research being done to try to figure out what’s happening and why, to identify why the children are at risk. Relying on the old-fashioned art of science and medicine and clinical reasoning is what it takes to figure out what was happening. But it’s still a mystery.”
THE WORST NIGHTMARE
As the pandemic continues to have a ripple effect on societal health, Wall is more resolved than ever to protect his vulnerable patients. “I feel like this is what I am called to do. In fact, this is the entire reason that Children’s Hospital was built in the 1950s, to care for children during the polio“Wepandemic.havethesame heart today, taking in the weakest and doing whatever it takes to give them the best life they can have,” said Wall. “The Bible refers to these as “the least of these,” meaning, the ones that society has forgotten,” he said. “It is my calling to protect and heal them to the best of my ability. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by multidisciplinary teams and an institution that shares this mission. So, the fact that the COVID pandemic has severely impacted this part of society is quite tragic to me.”
PROTECTING THE WEAKEST
When Dr. Peter DeBlieux searches his mind for a high point over the last two years, he thinks back to a phone call between a priest and a dying man. A critically injured patient was being treated in the trauma center at University Medical Center, and it soon became clear that he wasn’t going to make it. As he approached the end of his life, the man looked to DeBlieux and quietly asked: “Could the priest come?” He was then put on a ventilator and no longer able to speak. As the hospital’s chief experience officer with training in both emergency medicine and pulmonary critical care, DeBlieux was no stranger to helping patients and their families make the transition from this world to the next as smoothly as possible. But because of the COVID-19 restrictions at the time, the patient’s father and sister couldn’t be with him, and neither could a priest. Fortunately, through happenstance—or a miracle—DeBlieux knew the man’s priest. So, he gave him a call and held the phone up to the patient as he took his last breaths, aided by mechanical ventilation.
NEW ORLEANS EMERGENCY MEDICINE DOCTORS DURING THE PANDEMIC a dr p in the bucket o

By Drew Hawkins Michelle IllustrationKondrich
Founded in 1852, Touro Infirmary is a medical monument in the city, a bastion that has been caring for New Orleanians for 170 years. Entire generations have taken their first and last breaths, from newborns to old age, within those hallowed halls. And Touro is no stranger to crisis in the city—they dealt with nearly annual yellow fever epidemics at the turn of the century, and international events like the 1918 influenza pandemic, commonly known as the Spanish flu.
Arrillaga said that she and her fellow doctors had to come to terms with the very real possibility that the regular exposure they experienced as they cared for patients could cause they themselves to contract the virus. She said she and her family had to have some tough conversations. “My husband is a nurse in the emergency department,” Arrillaga said. “We had very real discussions about who would take our child if both of us succumbed to COVID-19.”
Hospitals quickly filled to capacity and emergency medicine doctors were working nonstop, around the clock, trying to care for COVID patients as best they could. Unsurprisingly, the demands took a toll on their mental and physical health. “Initially the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had a very high morbidity and mortality. People were dying every day in the emergency department,” said Dr. Elisa Arrillaga, an emergency medicine physician at Touro. “My training and emergency medicine prepared me for this first wave. However, the fear of serious illness, incapacity or death was very real.”
But through it all, through the ups and the downs, the highs and lows, the nation’s medical professionals were there to care for the sick and help ease the passing of those who succumbed to the disease. This is especially true for emergency medicine doctors—the ones in ERs, on the frontlines, battling the virus every day. And perhaps none more so than right here, in New Orleans, one of the first “hot spots” of the pandemic. Dr. DeBlieux remembers those early days vividly, back before there were vaccines and when vital medical equipment like PPE and masks were in short supply. He said it was inspiring. The large crowds and revelry of the 2020 Carnival season spread the virus like wildfire. And while New Orleans experienced some of the worst during the first, initial wave, the support was almost overwhelming. “It was really, really powerful, the public support at the hospital and the care providers and first responders in the early offering of the pandemic. People would send food, they would send cards, they would send well wishes from across the country,” DeBlieux said. “People sending shields and making masks and just feeling part of something bigger.”
But it wasn’t long before the outpouring dried up—not because of a lack of concern or care, but because those resources were needed elsewhere. As the virus spread, New Orleans, like everywhere else, would have to make do with what they had to deal with the crisis.
/2022AUGUST 38PAGE MY/ NEWORLEANS .COM
“The last words that he could hear were that of the priest praying for him and with him. And the priest knew him, knew the patient,” DeBlieux said. “Understanding how horrific that setting was for the family, for the patient, and to be able to tell them, that their family priest that they love, was able to offer that comfort to their loved one, I would say that that was a bright light during that time.”
But even such an established institution struggled to keep pace with the flow of critically ill patients coming through its doors.
And it wasn’t just the virus itself that doctors were battling. They also had to contend with misinformation, disbelief and anger from the general public. DeBlieux said that was the toughest part for him. “In the emergency department, ICUs, and the floors and the clinics everywhere, we would be watching patients die without family members. And just the horror associated with that,” DeBlieux said. “And then to leave the hospital and hear social media and hear... this pandemic is contrived. This isn’t real. When you were seeing people die daily, and people would argue how nonsensical it was to wear a mask, or to be vaccinated. That was absolutely debilitating.”
That isn’t hyperbole. Multiple studies have shown an increase in workplace violence against hospital workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be attributed to patients’ or relatives’ anxiety and mental states following the onset of the pandemic, an increase in waiting time since the pandemic began, lack of hospital resources to care for everyone and the inability to visit critically ill relatives with“EmergencyCOVID-19.medicine is always stressful—that’s what you sign up for,” said Dr. Jennifer Avegno, director of the New Orleans Health Department and practicing emergency physician. “But even those of us used to the grind of 12-hour shifts, long nights, and endless streams of complex patients were not quite ready for the additional demands of the pandemic.”
Arrillaga echoed DeBlieux’s sentiments and added her very real fear of facing physical violence for her work. “After that initial wave of the pandemic it was scary to see a shift in the attitude of the patients,” she said. “In general, in the United States there has been an increase of 45% in violence against healthcare workers.”
As the leader of the city’s health department, in many ways, Avegno is the medical face of the pandemic in New Orleans. She said the uncertainties she and other medical professionals faced were unprecedented. At first, they didn’t know exactly what the virus might do to patients. Then, they didn’t know the best methods to treat it, and later, how to anticipate the huge surges of sick patients overwhelming not just one hospital, but entire systems—all while trying not to get sick themselves.
“Those of us in public health faced additional 24/7 demands of trying to prevent illness and death and protect the lives of an entire
For all of us, the COVID-19 pandemic has come in stages, in waves. We’ve all felt worried, concerned, impatient, frustrated—maybe even angry—at times. Things would start to improve, restrictions would ease, and then another surge would bring more lockdowns and remind us that the virus wasn’t yet done with us.
Support is critically important for doctors who work in emergency medicine—they wouldn’t be able to do the job without it. And perhaps nobody knows that better than Peter DeBlieux. In addition to being responsible for not only the experience of patients and families, and being a practicing emergency medicine doctor himself, DeBlieux is also charged with looking out for hospital employees and providers. For both doctors and patients at UMC, he is that support. “My whole thing that I think is essential is one of the terms that has been coined now called self-care,” DeBlieux said. “[You have to make] sure that what you’re doing for yourself creates a wholeness.” DeBlieux uses a bucket as his analogy. “You can’t continually reach into the bucket and pull out compassion, pull out care, pull out empathy,” he said. “You have to refill that, or you’ll create burnout for yourself.”
Exercise has been a helpful outlet for Arrillaga as well. She’s relied on it to temper the stress of the job throughout her career, and during COVID, she said it became even more important. On top of that, she said she’s fortunate to have the support of a husband who understands what she’s dealing with. “Because Chad works in the emergency department he understands the stress of the job and we lean on each other to decompress after difficult shifts,” Arrillaga said.
In a letter to the krewe, Avegno wrote that the “re-imposition of mitigation measures, the level of negativity and hatred” directed at city officials “has significantly increased.” At the time, the city was in the midst of yet another surge, and cases were skyrocketing. “I do not want to create a security risk by my participation,” she wrote. Still, Avegno said she has no regrets for any of the lockdowns, especially in the early days. “During that time, we ran a model based on what we understood of the virus’ transmission and lethality, and it predicted 1,300 New Orleanians dead within eight weeks if no mitigation measures were put in place,” she said. “That jolted me into action. As painful as the initial lockdown was, it would have been horrifying to lose so many of our friends and neighbors within two months; the scale of that was staggering.”
For Avegno, the science has helped guide her decision-making process—and given her peace of mind. “Continuing to rely on data and objective analysis during an ever-changing pandemic has helped me stay focused on the health and lives of the people around me,” she said. That focus has helped her keep her resolve, but she’s also found other ways to both distract and strengthen her mind, including planting a garden. Avegno started a vegetable and herb garden that she said brings her solace. She said there’s something healing about tending to and growing things from tiny seeds that restores her faith in the world—creation in a time of destruction, as it were. She also started exercising in the mornings a month into the pandemic. She said it’s been tremendously helpful for her. “At first, I’d simply walk down the neutral ground and cry. There was no one out and the streets seemed so desolate, but it was good to get those feelings out,” Avegno said. “No matter what’s weighing on my mind when I wake up, after exercising it seems a little more manageable.”
/2022AUGUST 39PAGE MY/ NEWORLEANS .COM community. So there was, and is, no ‘off’ time,” Avegno said. “It’s akin to working a 12-hour night shift on a busy weekend at the highest volume emergency department in the city, every day, for two years. You really don’t get a chance to reflect, recover, or relax in between.”
Because many in the city and region associate Avegno with restrictions and lockdowns meant to slow the spread of the virus and keep people from dying, she’s faced a lot of angry backlash—including threats of violence. After she was named as the 2022 parade queen for the raucous and rowdy Krewe du Vieux, Avegno was forced to step down after threats caused her to be concerned for her personal safety and the safety of krewe members.
In other words: you have to keep your bucket filled.
But the work isn’t over. And now, more than ever, doctors are experiencing a crisis of trust they’ve never seen before. The past two years have been tough on everyone, and medical professionals are seeing that manifest as distrust, anger and frustration. Many people just don’t trust their doctors.
For DeBlieux, he refills his bucket with religion, exercise, and downtime with his family. He encourages providers—and anybody else he talks to and works with—to find what refills their buckets, whether it’s a garden, exercise, or just catching up on episodes of their favorite shows.
For DeBlieux, self-care isn’t just about refueling your own resolve and avoiding burnout. It’s about creating a resiliency that allows you to bring compassion to the job. He said compassion is empathy in action. For doctors who work in emergency medicine, it’s not enough to understand a patient’s struggle, to feel their pain. The job also requires them to channel that energy into compassionate care that can save their life—or ease their suffering.
For Avegno, she wishes people could see how hard they work, what they go through when they show up to the job each and every day. “I do hope the public knows how hard we work and how we truly hustle for our patients, using every possible resource in a part of medicine that is woefully understaffed and underfunded,” she said. “As doctors, we love getting up every day and doing it all over again—until the toll gets to be too much. Which for me, I hope, is a long time Emergencyaway.”medicine is one of the most difficult medical fields to work in. Even outside of a pandemic, emergency medicine doctors see humanity in its most raw, vulnerable and violent form. They treat everything from gunshot wounds to broken arms and organ failure. “We see people on their worst day, every day, and witness every kind of tragedy imaginable. That is an honor and a privilege,” Avegno said. But still, she said it can take a toll if you let it. “You must look for the small moments of humor, the tiny kindnesses that patients often show us, the fact that the shift always ends, and you get to go home to a safe, comfortable space unlike many of those we treat.”
BurnoutOvercominglow-energy,lackoffocusandothersymptomsofthissneaky—andsoulcrushing — pandemic-related malady that seems to have gripped almost everyone.
“One underlying thing to give yourself permission to be happy and live your best life and give self-compassion and kindness to yourself,” Powers said. “I always tell people this is your one life, so look at it and figure it out and be the best person you can be. People don’t want to look back and wonder "Why didn’t I allow myself more joy and happiness?" People struggle with destructive thought patterns which are product of their upbringing. Realize that you’re doing the best you can and the best you can is good enough. Look at what you can do. Give yourself permission to try things and see if they work. Remember, everyone is going through this. Experiment. Music really speaks to people. Of course, you can’t underesti mate sleep, exercise and healthy eating. Use trial and error to find what works for you to see if [an activity or strategy] gives you joy. Then carve out time to do it. It’s not just doing these things its reflecting. Giving yourself permission to try new things and realizing that they might not work is part of the process. Everything is a tryout. Even general concepts you can start splitting hairs. Like yoga: There’s yoga with music and yoga with philosophy. The key of giving yourself permission to try these things that aren’t always going to work is you’ve provided space.”
“The dreaded words,” Andrini said. "'How am I going to make time to go to the gym on top of everything else I have to do?' You don’t. When you get out of bed after you meditate for five minutes and before you do anything else, take another five minutes to do some stretching, maybe lunges, arm lifts, side bending or 20 crunches. I do a quick five-minute yoga flow to get my breath flowing, my fluids moving and my heart pumping so I can wake up before making my way down to the coffee pot. This also builds over time, and you will see results within two weeks with just 20 crunches, 20 squats and five minutes of yoga, a day.”

SELF-COMPASSION
Nurture Through Nature According to the University of Minnesota Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing’s “Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and the production of stress hormones. It may even reduce mortality, according to scientists such as public health researchers Stamatakis and Mitchell. Research done in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety.” Time spent in your yard, at one of New Orleans’ countless parks, preserves or nature trails, at the New Orleans Botanical Garden or at a local nursery, such as Urban Roots with its added bonus of goats, chickens and other farm animals and wildlife, is guaranteed to lift your soul.
Mindful.org’s four-part Burnout podcast is described as a “hopeful, clarifying, and solutions-oriented series will help us all develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be living with burnout and offer a roadmap and online community for a different (productive, but joyful) path ahead.” The podcast includes an ebook, meditations and other helpful tools.
DO NOT SKIP MEALS
“Your body needs to be replenished with nourishment throughout the day,” Andrini said. “Eat the proper foods for your unique physiological composition, known as a dosha in ayurveda. [This] keeps you balanced and performing at your optimal [level]. Meal prep to save time, but do not store for more than 24 hours [to ensure freshness]. Use a [thermal container] to keep meals warm on the go. Start [your day with] warm water or room temperature water for easier digestion. Add ginger, turmeric and a dash of lemon or rose water to remove [overnight] buildup in the intestines. Consult with your doctor first before trying any new diets. Kitchari, [a nourishing legume-based soup or stew], is a quick meal to make and fun for the entire family. You need only make one big batch to enjoy for two days.” According to Andrini, there is a free membership option on her website jbyfnola.org that includes recipes for kitchari as well as other quick meals for you and your family.

Along with Everglades National Park, Big Cypress presents a Dark Sky in South Florida, earning the IDS designation.

GEORGIA The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge of southeastern Georgia is one of the most protected wetlands in the country, which is why it’s a great place to view night skies. The Stephen C.

Many of us wouldtimeremembermayawhenwedriveto the country and gaze up into the heavens, viewing thousands of stars, the thick band of the Milky Way and possibly a meteor or two. Urban sprawl has replaced many of those stargazing spots, bringing with them illumination from street lights, residences and buildings lit up to avoid crime. Lighting up the night sky may seem like a great idea, but it has negative consequences for nocturnal animals — even humans. In addition to artificial light messing with our biochemical rhythms, we’ve lost touch with the amazing night sky. But many are working to combat light pollution, organizations such as the nonprofit International Dark-Sky Association. With this month’s Perseid’s Meteor Shower —peaking Aug. 12-13, — here are a few dark places to view the night sky in all its glory. But you don’t have to stop at August; these are awesome stargazing locations all year long.

And if you don’t feel like driving, Amtrak runs from New Orleans to Alpine and Marfa.

All I can do is what I do every year: Light the Nash Roberts prayer candle my mom made for me, and hope for the best. It’s not quite as satisfying as a rainbow unicorn Trapper Keeper, but it still helps keep my anxiety at bay.
The past three years have brought us Hurricane Barry (2019), Hurricane Zeta (2020), and Hurricane Ida (2021) – the latter blowing out our bathroom windows, chasing us to Tennessee, knocking out power, and canceling school for weeks. I’m not too excited to see what 2022 might bring our way.
And my kids, thankfully, are much more outgoing than I was, so while they might grumble a bit about the early morning alarms or the summer math packets, they are ultimately ready to go back to school, too. That doesn’t mean that August isn’t still a source of anxiety for me, though. It’s just that now my worries aren’t school-related so much as Asstorm-related.longasIlive here, I can safely guess that I will spend June 1 through Nov. 30 (aka hurricane season) in some state of stress, which will be at its highest point from late August until mid-September.

And after all, I’m a grown-up now. As a kid, my stomach would always start hurting when I saw “back to school” sale signs go up in stores. Although I was a bookish nerd who diagrammed sentences for fun, school was not my happy place. Libraries, maybe, yeah, but libraries were just full of books. Schools were, by definition, full of other children, many of whom were not particularly inclined to be nice to a bookish nerd who diagrammed sentences for fun. So summers were my favorite time of year. I got unlimited free time to hang out with the few friends I had, ride my bike all over the city, watch MTV and Nickelodeon till the wee hours, sleep late, and read all the books I wanted. It was a little slice of perfection for three months every year. The rude reminder starting in late July/early August that summer was coming to an end always sent me into an anxiety spiral that no amount of multicolored clicky pens or Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers could mitigate, regardless of my general enthusiasm for school supplies (which endures to this Now,day). asa parent myself, I still get an initial thrill at the heady rush of summer break – no more packing lunches or signing reading logs or making sure uniforms are clean. By late April, I’m as ready for summer as the kids are. But the novelty wears off faster as a mom who doesn’t get a summer break myself, and by early August, I’m eager to send them back, embrace the routine of after-school snacks, club meetings, homework, early bedtimes. I’m now officially the target market for those “back to school” sale signs; the only thing I love more than fresh reams of looseleaf and brand-new packs of ballpoint pens BY EVE CRAWFORD PEYTONPAINS
If the start of school is inevitable, though, like death and taxes, hurricanes aren’t a given. We might get lucky. We might not.

Termite mitigation and infestation treatment
I n New Orleans, we tend to be most aware of termites in late spring when Formosan termites swarm. But according to Tommy Sanchez, owner/operator of termite special ists House Call Pest Control (with fellow locals Darrin Blystad and Steve Rooney), termites in New Orleans are a 365 day a year threat. That said, there are ways to mitigate the threat and treat infestations. There are three types of termites: subter ranean, dampwood (not common in our area), and drywood. For subterranean termites (which include Formosan) Sanchez recom mends regular preventative measures: liquid treatments with non-repellent chemicals and active bait systems for native subter ranean termites, which include Formosan. Subterranean termites survive in the soil and above the soil within the home. The type of treatment depends on the structure. “Preventative measures cost a fraction of dealing with live infestations,” said Sanchez, who recommends working with an experienced exterminator.Thereareno preventative methods for drywood termites, which swarm in late summer and fall. After being discovered, drywoods are treated with fumigation, which is effective for killing all existing termites but cannot prevent new infestations. Drywoods’ natural habitat includes trees and structures and new infestations do occur. Some companies may first advise a spot treatment for drywoods with a liquid chemical. But tenting, which involves covering the house with huge tarps and filling the house with an odorless gas, and requires removing all living things (including plants), as well as open containers of foods and things that are injested or used orally (medicines, toothpaste, mouthwash etc.) is considered the most effective means of dealing with this type of “Fumigationinfestation. is the most complete treat ment but it’s also the safest treatment for our
1 Don’t be naïve about termites; they are part of our ecology. Make a plan to keep them from infesting your habitat. 2 Eighty percent of local infestations are from Formosan termites, so local pest control companies have a lot of experience with them and are good at what they do.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER Airforce veteran, Holy Cross College graduate and native New Orleanian Tommy Sanchez, owner/ operator of House Call Pest Control (with two other native partners named above), has more than 30 years of experience in the field of termite control. House Call treats some 800 residential and commercial properties a year. clients; there is zero chemical signature post treatment,” saidSubterraneanSanchez. termites are easy to detect. Signs of infesta tion include mudtubes in and around the home, pinpoint holes in drywall, swarming exit holes (typically pencil size) and bubbling paint. The most common sign of drywood infestation is termite frass, which resembles coffee grounds or salt and pepper, but varies in color depending on the wood on which the termites are feeding. If you’ve seen any of the above, Sanchez advises calling a local pest control company for a consult. If concerned about a tree infestation, he advises calling an arborist to assess the health of the tree. Sanchez also emphasizes the importance of main taining your home to limit conditions that are hospitable to termites. Keep water and wood containing products (firewood, building wood etc.) away from your house. Flower beds against the house should not be higher than the foundation. Lattice work on a raised house should not have direct contact to the ground. And vegetation and vines should be trimmed away from the house.

Mezcal can bring that flavor.” Unlike some cocktails, the mezcal doesn’t overwhelm the other ingredients. “It was perfect from the first try,” she said, “balanced and refreshing.” Indeed, this is one storm warning New Orleanians will actually look forward to this summer.

Chill Out A summertime classic JYL BENSON
BY
Gazpacho, the classic cold soup associated with the south of Spain and Portugal has been enjoying a moment in the blis tering heat of this particularly torturous summer. In its most primal form, the soup originated with the Roman Empire when soldiers would carry stale bread, garlic and olive oil with them on their raids. When hunger struck, they would mix the ingredients into a pasty soup. The Moors of ancient Morocco made a similar concoction, Ajo Blanco, using both ground almonds and bread thickening agents. Tomatoes, the ingredient we most closely associate with the chilled soup, did not join the party until the late 1400s when Spanish explorers “discovered” the Americas and returned to Europe with seedling tomato and pepper plants. The tomatoes and peppers that are foundational to so many world cuisines (Spanish, Italian, Provencal French, all of Asia), were not introduced to those cultures until the late 1400s at the very earliest and they are native to “New World.”
At Herbsaint Chef Donald Link’s take on the hot weather staple marries up a bounty of summer produce, whips it up in a blender, and tops it with a bright, luscious crabmeat salad. Check out the Notes section for crabmeat substitutes that will not put such a crush on your budget.

Southern Pain & Neurological For those with degenerative disc disease, back pain is an unfortunate part of everyday life. At Southern Pain & Neurological, Doctors Paul Hubbell and Donald Richardson have introduced new technology that has proven effective in clinical trials at repairing degenerative discs and increasing function. A non-surgical, cutting-edge technology, VIA Disc is an injection that uses allogenic tissue and micronized disc material to reverse disc damage from the inside out and thereby reduce pain. Until now, there was no way to repair damage caused by degenerative disc disease. The VIA Disc procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, under the guidance of your doctor, via fluoroscopy. Computer images provide live-action visuals during the procedure allowing the doctor to see exact needle placement. The needle is then inserted into the center of the intervertebral disc. To learn more about degenerative disc disease, VIA Disc, and Southern Pain & Neurological, call 1-800-277-1265.

THIS IS THE BIG ONE Experts expect storm to turn New Orleans into Atlantis For years there had been predic tions from scientists that if a future hurricane would hit the city from an exact direction, roughly heading up the path of the river, at a certain intensity, Category 5, the conse quences would be deadly for the city as levees broke and flood waters poured onto the land. New Orleans, a town developed below sea level, would, in effect, drown. Storms had targeted the city before, but there has always been the prayedfor last minute turn or weakened wind that lessened the ravage. But one day, we were warned there will be “The Big AccordingOne.”tothe accompanying Associate Press story, “when Katrina hits New Orleans today, it could turn one of America’s most charming cities into a vast cesspool tainted with toxic chemicals, human waste and even coffins released by floodwaters from the city’s legendary cemeteries.” And then, as the AP quoted various experts, the news got even worse:
• “By Tuesday vast swaths of New Orleans would be under water up to 30 feet deep.”
• In the French Quarter, the water could reach 20 feet easily submerging the district’s iconic cast-iron balconies and bars.”

BIG ONE returning home by Wednesday. And then came the news that would change our lives and the hopes for the city. The levees had broken. The city was being overcome by rushing water. No one was going home anytime soon. A couple of days later we were watching coverage of the devastation from the B&B’s kitchen. Two sisters from the River Parishes, each around 40, looked forlornly at the depressing scene. They had a verbal exchange which will always be stamped into my Katrina memories, “Every time I look at those scenes” one said of the coverage, “I want to cry.” “Me too,” the sibling replied, “but I am afraid if I start, I will never stop.” I could have added my own “me too” to that conversation. In the end Katrina, because of the broken levees was plenty bad, though not as devastating, as speculated. It was the “Almost Big One” but not THE Big One which could be in our future, though we will face it with better flood protection and better builtWehousing.werenot back in our home until April, and there was lots of fixing that needed to be done. One sign of the neighborhood returning to life was restaurants re-opening. No offices for attorneys, doctors, or accountants caused more buzz than an illuminated OPEN sign outside a cafe. Oh, and the friend who called wishing someone could tell her what to do: While in Chicago she met a guy, fell in love, got married and had a child. I wish I had been the one to have given her that advice.
That Sunday morning before we left New Orleans, a friend, living alone, called and lamented that she wished someone could tell her what to do. She eventually decided to head to Chicago where she had friends. By late afternoon that Monday television coverage fed statewide from New Orleans stations was providing a dash of hope. There were winds and many knocked down tress, but not as bad as expected. The worst singular incident was the century old Southern Yacht Club, which was blistering in a ravaging fire. Overall, though, it looked like we could be
• Sixty to 80 percent of the city’s houses will be destroyed by wind. Most of the people who live in and around New Orleans could be homeless.”Ivorvan
Heeded, deputy director of LSU’s Hurricane Center added, “We’re talking in essence of having a refugee camp of a million people.”
O n the morning of Monday August 29, 2005, I glanced at the front page of “The Town Talk,” the daily newspaper published in Alexandria, Louisiana. We had been lucky to find a room at a bed and breakfast in the Avoyelles Parish town of Mansura to which we had fled the night before. Referring to New Orleans, the headline justified our hurried escape:
