| 0:00.0 | This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor. |
| 0:06.7 | I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad. |
| 0:10.7 | I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes, |
| 0:15.6 | being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your |
| 0:21.7 | risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive, |
| 0:26.2 | there are things you can do, like asking your healthcare provider if an authorized |
| 0:29.9 | oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is |
| 0:35.7 | sponsored by Pfizer. |
| 0:51.6 | Mike, welcome to the program. Hello, Dr. Laura. This is Mike. I wrote to you almost 22 years ago |
| 1:00.0 | about leaving a job that required a lot of travel. At the time, I had three middle school-aged |
| 1:09.2 | children. My wife and I decided to leave the job and we started a new business so that I could |
| 1:19.2 | be a present father. I just wanted to call you and you read the letter on the air. It was really |
| 1:31.9 | a show of support. At the time, we had just started the business. I think when you read it, |
| 1:37.8 | the business was probably two months old. We have been in business now for 22 years. |
| 1:44.4 | Business has continued to grow. Of course, we did hit a rough spot in 08, 9, and 10. |
| 1:54.1 | I now have five grandchildren and one more on the way. I and William and I are still together. |
| 2:05.2 | It wasn't an easy path, but I am so grateful that I made the decision to be there for my kids |
| 2:12.7 | every night. It's just I just wanted to call you and thank you for your show of support. |
| 2:22.6 | Coincidentally, a lady was listening to you read the letter and came in right after you read |
| 2:29.7 | the letter on the air. Wow. An area road from us. It was just a great experience and I just |
| 2:40.8 | wanted to thank you for that support 22 years ago. Well, I appreciate you calling me today to |
| 2:49.1 | tell me lots of hugs to the family and five and a quarter grandkids. Yeah, one one due in January. |
