You were okay with me holding your wife’s hand when she was cold and scared before surgery.
You were okay with me doing compressions on your baby’s chest when we were trying to save his/her life.
You were okay with me assisting in the wonderful gift of life and the c-section of your son/daughter.
You were okay with me handing a surgical knife to a doctor that was putting you back together after an emergency Caesarean section.
You were okay with me doing your bloodwork and Magnesium Sulfate IV every few hours to make sure your blood pressure was not going to kill you and your baby.
You were okay with me helping wash your infected wounds.
You were okay with me wearing the same mask that was riddled with contamination day in and day out in order to perform my job in the operating room.
You were okay with me yelling at your wife to keep her from slipping into a state of unconsciousness from uncontrollable hemorrhage.
You were okay with me being spilled all over with body fluids that’d make you gag.
You were okay with me having to strip off my clothes and run to the shower before speaking to my family after a long shift with all kinds of unhealthy patients.
You were okay with me bringing “it” home to my family as long as I showed up to work to save yours.
You were okay with calling me and HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of my fellow brothers and sisters in healthcare “heroes” when the media told you to and when it served you.
You are now okay with tossing me out, tossing us out, like garbage because we believe that we should get a choice in our healthcare. We advocated for you, your loved ones, we cared for you, we did things most people can’t fathom... the amount of years in healthcare experience that the public will be losing is countless. The healthcare world I may be leaving behind is not the one I entered and one I am scared to be a patient in.
I was okay risking my health and life to save yours...
In the end, I am glad you are still okay!
-Shared by my nurse friend Hadasa **************************************************************** I think....what concerns me most, is we are losing many critical thinkers. The ones who see something wrong with everything happening deep in their soul, the ones who aren't just order takers or treat patients like a 'protocol'.
I'm not saying all who are staying are that. But these thoughts have crossed my mind and I don't know how to sugarcoat that. I am praying for the good ones who are staying and going through hell.
I'm praying for the ones leaving because they are convicted about the injection.
I am praying for the ones who took it bc they felt like they had no choice.
We always have a choice. Sometimes those choices aren't easy. Doing what's right is not always easy.
