Do Not Ever Call Me a Hero -From a Frontline Healthcare Worker (Page 2)

[monkeynutts]

Hey sorry, this is truly a difficult time, and unfortunately health care workers are having the worst of it, hopefully this teaches humanity that the health of a nation is more important than ones holiday destination, also that foreign trade is definitely not something that's more important than the safety of your citizens, as for the theft, people need to cut that shit out. Let you guys do your jobs, and also be more prepared for something like this in the future.

[Piteka5]

Stay strong though! I understand what you are saying and totally agree, covid or not, you are still heroes, because every individual that works towards the functioning of society is a hero, specifically the ones that get forgotten. This thing is starting to calm down in many countries and the number of cases is slowing down, I'm sure it will soon be same in America, but for it to stop spreading people need to stay inside and not let it spread

[kitty71]

Inded even if we may as much thank al of these health workers that are int he front line cause thati the human nature to do it so, it is their profession that is the jbo they do the reaosn they dont need people thanking them. Itis what they do, to save lives and they do it as their profession

[Unit1]

Then what should we call you? Medics? Doctors? Health Friends? 🤔

Yeah, those thieves, who stole the N95's are dicks! Better lock both up - them thieves and the masks, so that access to the storage is granted with keys.

[Unit1]

By the way, the real heroes are the working class, the healthcare workers, the construction workers, the farmers, the transport drivers, those, who bring justice and maintain peace, power society, provide electricity and water and internet, maintain the sewers and so on. Politicians, the media, the news, journalists and presidents are doing none of anything remotely similar to contributing to an otherwise functional society. We are pretty much autonomous, as long as we get paid money and pay for the products and services we utilize in our everyday lives. Then there's the mafia, that we pay taxes to just because they dominate us all and have to oblige to their rules they call laws.

We as people together are the heroes. Some are the smaller heroes, some are the bigger heroes. But it is not a competition.

[1truekhaleesi]

Health friends is good. Lol. I just happen to care and want people to get better

[NineBreaker]

Yes.
It's not a war. It's a disaster. It is literally a disaster that we were not prepared for. The message I got from this was: For God's sake, instead of just clapping for me, help me do my job without dying. Your words of praise are not enough.

[BeachMaster]

Farts a super loud juicy fart when you ask how's my day going... Walkong the other way... If you were to call me a nasty pig. Just soon as you finish the sentence I'll... Fart even louder with a little more attitude on it this time... Just for that...

[BeachMaster]

** a nasty pig... And to go away...

[BeachMaster]

Maybe add a gasp too first... I don't know...

[BeachMaster]

Like... That was really rude... Of you...

[Twalli]

You are a hero to everyone's life you helped save. That was true before this, and it will be true after it. I consider the doctors who helped save my life back in 2009 heroes. If I ever need life saving surgery or care again I will believe the same thing. I think people are calling you a hero because you are responsible for saving more lives now than normal.

[MeatPuppet]

"We need to deflect the hero talk and demand proper protection from the virus. If that can’t be done then we need to withhold care. That may sound harsh but it does no good for a healthcare worker to needlessly get sick. A sick healthcare worker only adds to the healthcare burden."

I wholeheartedly agree and you have my full support.

You do deserve some praise though. It's a shame it took a pandemic for people to realize how essential you were.

[Meropatrick]

My father worked many years of his life as a surgeon in ER one time he cut his hands by mistake while performing a surgery on a guy who is HIV positive. He worked 40 years with not even complaining like those snowflakes of healthcare workers those days complaining about coved with videos on social media and crying. really too much we dont need drama queens

[1truekhaleesi]

Sorry I'm not a robot and I have a family who loves and cares about me. If I cut my hand with a hiv positive patient, you bet your ass I'm going to get the correct tests and do the paperwork to file the incident.

[pervertedjester]

Sums it up for me.

---From a Delivery Driver that even less people care about.

[Malik00]

Honestly I would just bite my pride and keep it moving. Look I get it your job can feel thankless at times and people only NOW appreciating you feels condesending as hell. But you didn't sign up for this job for accolades and praise did you?

[DiegoO]

Welcome to society.

Never give your 100%, you'll inevitably drop to 0 if you do, and be the shadow of all you achieved, without anyone capable of giving you back the energy you lost, and all you worth.

[DiegoO]

I think you are right, as a health worker you're only doing your job, and without any types of equipment, you just can't risk yourself because your effort would be worthless anyway. A sick health worker does not help at all.

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, I am glad healthcare workers don't listen to you.

Because we would all be dead.

[DiegoO]

@RolandCuthbert they actually working under that judgment, that's why many are improvising and creating suits out of trash bags. Without that, you really think they would put themself at risk? A health worker has to be in good health, otherwise, their porpoise of helping others would fail.

In Ecuador, health workers are thinking to renounce. The government is not providing the support they need, there are dead bodies on the streets, corps set in cardboard box coffin. Doctors have died.

If a health worker can't have the necessary safety to protect their self, the job becomes helpless and suicidal.

[RolandCuthbert]

So you tell a healthcare worker not go give 100% and you say welcome to society.

Then you lecture me on what we should be providing them with.

Dude, that was my only point.

[iFarted]

tbh, sounds shitty but I don't call people in the medical field heroes. It's a job, a really respectable one until I find out that they're in it only cause it pays well and not that they truly care to help people.

[Lucious22]

People need to appreciate health care worker like they appreciate service man in the military and also police officer, they put their life on the line, doctors and nurses save peoples lives, just as important but people seem to forget

[TigerRSA]

I think you just looking for attention. Very shallow. Quit if you do t want to do it. We all have hard jobs. When you were sleeping someone was sweeping a street. Is he worth any less than you ? You chose this job. Now do your job or quit. No offence...

[1truekhaleesi]

Obviously I signed up for this job dumbass. My point is that I didn't sign up to put myself in the line of fire by not having personal protective equipment. What good am I to you if I'm dead? We'll try rubbing essential oils on your ventilator as your body struggles to keep your lungs open ☺️

[1truekhaleesi]

Not only that, I literally said in the my take that if I don't have personal protective equipment, I'll walk away from this job.

[TigerRSA]

I would not do the job without ppe, and neither should you

[1truekhaleesi]

THAT WAS MY ENTIRE POINT. FUCKIN HELL.

[Ratmuffin]

I thought of health care professionals as good ass people before this shit ever happened! My friend Chewy risked his ass working 14 hour shifts way before there was ever a pandemic

[Texaskid1]

Here Here!

[simplelikeme]

I was a fireman. people say that to me all the time. I hate it... it was something I love to do and just wanted to help people. I'm no hero.. I just care.

[RonThirdWheelWeasley]

I think we've always appreciated medical workers. I hope at least.

I think the pandemic just put a spotlight on you guys.

[Zachage]

As someone who was forced to get the chicken pox. This virus is no different, everyone NEEDS to contract this. The heroes are the ones formulating treatments and vaccines.
