A doctor is praising a Minnesota state police who stopped her for speeding, but gave her N95 masks instead of a ticket. Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua thanked State Police Brian J Schwartz for his act of kindness during the coronavirus pandemic in a Facebook post.
Dr. Janjua, a cardiologist working in the area, explained she was pulled over after driving over the speed limit. Police Schwartz told her it was irresponsible for her to be speeding because it would take up resources if she got into an accident and she would not be able to help her patients.
She waited to be slapped with a ticket, but instead, he let her off with a warning — plus five medical masks. They came from a supply that the state had given him for his own protection, according to Janjua. "I burst into tears," she said. "And though it may just have been the cold wind, I think he teared up a little as well, before wishing me well and walking away."
Like many of her fellow health care workers and first responders, Dr. Janjua said she had been feeling fear for not having enough protective equipment and worried about what would happen if she fell sick far from home.
"This complete stranger, who owed me nothing and is more on the front lines than I am, shared his valuable masks with me, without my even asking," she added. "We are going to be OK." The Minnesota State Patrol praised the doctor and the police for their hard work and dedication.
