What’s the deal with the hero complex from nurses?

I get it.. their jobs are important. They work hard to take care of our sick and elderly, pull long shifts day and night, and deal with a lot of stress on a daily basis. Honestly, they deserve a “thank you” every once in a while. Not every 45 seconds
Do they feel that unappreciated where they constantly have to glorify themselves and expect everyone to kiss their arse 24 hours a day? It seems like there’s a lot of insecurity in this profession and the pandemic was the perfect opportunity to seek attention. I also feel like they are rubbing it in a bit “hey I still have a job while you’re sitting at home broke.” I just don’t understand the psychology behind this, it seems like the media is feeding a monster and giving attention to a group of people who don’t need to have massive amounts of attention.

Thing is that is not the case. Most hospitals are starting to furlough employees or force them to take PTO because there is no money coming in.

The same people calling them heroes are the same people that think everyone gets a trophy IMO.
The blind worship we give to groups of people (even military) is so artificial and disingenuous because society tells us we have to do that or else we are bad people so those that need to fit in at all cost fall in line because that is what most have been trained to do.
Also, because of social media, the vast majority of people seek to fulfill the attention they feel they need or diserve using it. I saw one nurse that works in a woman's hospital post about how she was on the front lines. That hospital has zero COVID cases because it's a damn woman's hospital.

"I stayed at work for you. You stay home for me."
Shuddup bitch and clean out my bed pan.

My wife is a RN treating China flu patients. She doesn't need anyone's admiration or praise.
The fat checks she's cashing is plenty enough.

The hero complex adds to the hysteria of the general public who aren't smart enough to know the majority of hospitals aren't bad at all.

I'm friends with three of them on facebook (I know, I need to give it up) and all three of them take every single opportunity they get to remind everyone that they're a nurse and the COVID19 crap is soooooooo bad.

It's more ridiculous that they are getting paid more for right now for doing the job they signed up for.

I don't think it's them as much as every single corporate commercial right now..... but I don't see many of them hating it.

Teachers are the worst. Majority of the jobs seeking attention are majority female positions. It's built in their DNA.
Posted on 4/29/20 at 9:37 am to TulaneFan
Not as bad as teachers still complaining while essentially getting 6 months off this year.

Show just one fricking healthcare working saying "I have a job and you're at home" you wont find one
Seems likes you're insecure. Or maybe you're just at home with too much time on your hands. I don't think any nurse cares about a thank you, especially from the self righteous

The amount of jealousy this pandemic has brought out in people is really revealing. We've got people jealous of medical workers getting props. People jealous of 30 million suddenly unemployed people getting bigger UE checks. We've got people jealous of "the poors" getting stimulus checks.
Grow up.
Grow up.

Another Holden Caulfield thread on the OT, everybody but you is just a big phony, why doesn’t the world see things as they are like you?

Weird how you don’t see doctors taking all the credit
