irefighters who ran into the Twin Towers on 9/11 were trained and paid to do so.

Police who worked 24 hour shifts to capture the Boston Marathon bombers were trained and paid to do so.

Were they not heros?

A person doesn’t have to act solely out of the kindness of their heart to be a hero.


All of this and if you disagree you are a piece of shite

Me putting my self at an increased risk of infection and others at risk isn't considered important or heroic?

Holy shite.

This reads like an angry Karen Facebook post. Bitch fest over nothing.

What’s needed is less pussies like you, and more like those in that hospital trying to make the difference.

HERE IS YOUR ATTENTION. Sorry your parents didn’t love you enough.

I never said you dont. But explain why that makes you a "hero", exactly? Smacks of a false premise to me.


They don’t have to, the nurses and doctors, and everyone else taking care of these patients, show up day in and day because they want to. That’s what makes them heroes. They can easily stay home and turn their cheek.

Theres a bar in n bossier called “Heroes”. FYI. I assume heroes own it and their hero friends drink there.

I know someone who does critical care, and yes, in my opinion, they are a hero.

Next time you have a cough or feel bad you should call a crackhead instead.

At least have the dignity to stand in front of the hospital and scream at them that they aren't heroes. Don't post it angrily on a message board like a sissy.

Or did one of them say "here, take a piece of my liver to help this person"? I bet not. It was just one more in a long line of surgeries they do every day, will do again tomorrow and in six months and a year. they don't know your nephew's name today. 


So a doctor performs a lifesaving liver transplant on your nephew, and you're mad the doc didn't use his own liver to transplant and probably doesn't remember your nephew's name?

You sound like an entitled little baby. Forget being thankful a doc saved your nephew's life...did he remember his name?

I'm sick of the cheapening of "hero". 


Ok man, these frickers have reemed you pretty good but the truth of the matter is you're fundamentally right.

The word "hero" is cheapened for sure and it has been for a long time. Calling every motherfricker who dons a uniform a "hero" started after the first Gulf war and ramped up to the ridiculous after 911.

Well I'm a licensed healthcare professional. I'm not gonna tell you what kind but I could be one of these nurses or doctors you're talking about.

Anyway, none of us are "heroes". We're people who have respectable and dignified jobs. People that serve the community and in many ways should be admired but heroes? No, not a frickin' one. Not even the ones working the isolation units.

It's a nasty little bug for sure but at this time, there's nothing about taking care of these patients that has risen to "hero" status. Maybe it will later on but right now? No.

What OP is missing is that it's just a sign. The hospital has it up to show recognition to people working hard in a difficult time to work in a hospital.

It's there to show some appreciation to people who don't usually get a lot. Not to get into a fight about whether the definition of hero has gone too far.

That's why it's fine for the hospital to put a banner like that up, and it's silly that OP is all offended.
