A Physician's Intimate Experience with COVID
Sep. 10, 2020
Dr. Prakash Gatta, an esophageal robotics surgeon for Multicare Health System in Tacoma said he started documenting what life was like in the operating room before finding out he tested positive for the coronavirus. “I didn’t think I would have COVID. Why? Because, you know, I never get sick. What I see in the world and in my patients, can’t possibly happen to me,” Gatta said. Gatta’s symptoms were mild compared to most, but he said the virus is powerful and one month later, he was still recovering. “Lots of body aches and the fatigue persists to this day. I lost like 12 pounds in just that one week,” Gatta said. Yet, the first thing Gatta did when he got the OK from officials? He went right back to the hospital: “Here I am back to work after COVID-19.” As a surgeon during a pandemic, he said it’s his calling to be there, and now he feels there’s less reason to worry. “For the people with fear, know that no matter what happens, the lights are always on. Babies are being born. Bones are being set. This hospital, this profession, we’re in a league of our own. We’ll take care of you.” |

Vision for 2020-21
Sep. 17, 2020
Three things have shaped Greg’s life more than any other. Water, family and Rotary. Raised living on a lake in Lakewood, WA, he became an accomplished competitive water skier and barefooter. This led him into the water ski manufacturing business during college at the University of Washington. After college and a stint in the navy, the job grew into a self-employment opportunity as an independent manufacturer’s representative. That led him into the tournament ski boat business, a wakeboard manufacturing business and finally a dock building business. He also raced tunnel boats for several years way back in the 70's where he set a world speed record that still stands. Along the way he joined with some friends and built a water ski lake, one of the finest in the country. Greg is also a lifelong snow skier, and snow is just frozen water. Greg met his future wife, Mary, at a boat race. Mary and & Greg have three adult sons, and now three adorable grandkids. One day a friend called and asked, “What do you know about Rotary?” Greg replied, “Not much. It is a service club that meets for lunch in just about every community I have traveled through. After attending a few meetings, he was hooked. He had found the perfect way to give back to his community and have fun while doing it. After joining Lakewood Rotary in 1996 he became active in just about every aspect of the club. 2009-2010 brought a year of being club president, and then three years as assistant governor followed. “The more I learned about Rotary beyond the club, the more I wanted to be involved,” Mary jokes that Greg asked her to marry him, but neglected to ask her to join Rotary. She recently took the lead and joined Lakewood Rotary where she has had a dynamic first year. Greg and Mary are co-chairs of 2018 Rotary District 5020 Conference and Training in Tacoma. Greg’s four Rotary passions are polio eradication, public image, membership growth, and The Rotary Foundation. A final thought: Do you wish Rotary were not such a well-kept secret? Do you wish everyone in the community knew about all the life-changing things we do? Together we can grow Rotary and make a difference! |
