Open Post to All Health Care Employees

Thank you.

 

I realize you have a demanding profession, but it must be absolutely overwhelming these days.

 

Again, thanks so much, know you're appreciated and above all, take care of yourselves.

@denisemb  Thank you for your nice post.  I work in a hospital and it is very demanding but especially so now with the coronavirus.  Last year it was the measles now this.  I hate to think what's next?

@denisemb @Thanks for the kind thoughts. I go back to work at my hospital tomorrow. I am not afraid or worried, we are exposed to multiple illnesses daily. It is the job I chose and I will go and do it. I did call and tell my boss that I felt I had to quarantine myself for a few weeks because I am over 60 and all I could hear was laughter. 🙂

My question is why does the doctor come in & shake your hand when he could be spreading germs from patient to patient?

You don't think he's washing hands between patients?  That's the first thing mine does when she comes in the room after she says hello.  She washes her hands right then and there.
