re: Unpopular Opinion: Healthcare workers are doing their job

The nightly clapping, cheering, and horn blowing at 6pm has really gotten on my nerves.

I'm not showing up to the hospital with bologna sandwiches and poster boards adorned with glitter heaping worship over these "heroes"
I personally would not be the type to show up with those things at an event to celebrate policemen or firemen after a disaster to which they responded or soldiers returning at the airport.
However, it's the degree to which people are acting pissy about others doing it that I find interesting.

Are you sad they aren’t hero worshipping the non-dcotors/nurses?

Fixed it
You didn't fix it though. Many workers are doing things outside of what they hired on to do.

As someone that works in healthcare, this has reached an incredible level of self appreciation. This is literally what we all went to school for. The purpose of our work is to help people. The purpose of our work is to be there in the time of need. That's all this is. We don't deserve increase pay. We don't deserve forgiven student loans. These are the risks we accepted when we went into the field. Put your head down, do your job. Sorry for the rant. I'm just sick of the attention grabbing.
Speak for yourself baw. Me and the rehab team walking into the covid floor in our hospital like
#healthcareheroes indeed.

Yeah doesn't make sense
Shift change is at 7
No one has done this at my hospital though (thank goodness).
And yes some of the nurse stuff is starting to get very cringe worthy now.

Units that have nothing to do with infectious disease or critical care treatment having to work as a COVID units.
"You signed up for this" is lazy, but not unexpected for the OT.

Real talk, already looking at continuing education for counseling in dealing with PTSD in doctors/nurses. There's no way to really train someone, outside of maybe throwing them into a hot military zone, in how to deal with what they're seeing in the ICU right now. I feel for those folks.
So these doctors and nurses are conditioned to see people coming in with severed limbs. Fathers being rushed to the ER with a hysterical wife and children in tow facing the possibility of their lives collectively being shattered by the potential loss of their husband/father. The crushing sadness and despair of a mother giving birth to a stillborn child or one they know will die very shortly after delivery. A school shooting where multiple children are clinging to life while their parents are being ripped apart emotionally facing the prospect that their lives as they know them may be over. And you think an influx of patients with a respiratory illness that has very low mortality rate is the event that will push these people over the edge? Holy shite!!! There is ridiculous hyperbole...then there is this!

That was going to be my response as well.

I did kinda laugh when our ortho/elective surgery nurses basically became one of the covid squads. They have done a fantastic job with very little Karening though.

In small doses.
In some areas they’re overwhelmed with COVID alone in their ICUs on top of what they already deal with. Many are working insane hours and spending stretches of time away from their families because of having to self-isolate. Yes, it will be a mental health issue just like it is after any disaster.
GTFO with your faux outrage.

Who are you to decide how treating a pandemic affects a worker?
My mom is an ER nurse and this has affected her mentally much more than the standard things she's dealt with in her career.

Nursing 101: We love attention.

Honest question, if there wasn't the hysteria, would it have affected her as much?
As someone who has waited 2.5 hours to perform a procedure on someone awaiting a COVID-19 test solely because some idiot ordered it in an asx patient, the hysteria around this in the vast majority of the country vastly outweighs what we are actually seeing.
Again, in all aspects, we are spending more time sensationalizing this than we are just treating it.
