They should never pay for a drink, go to the front of all lines, get financial perks from the government.

What they have been doing seems to me to have been as mentally and physically devastating as fighting in a war, though in a different way.

to leave the hospitals while wearing scrubs, or walk around in public wearing scrubs for fear they will be physically attacked by the Republican Anti-Vaxxer, Anti-Masker, assholes......

We have many nurses living within six houses of us. The first time around, when the virus first hit, my wife organized a ritual where every night ALL of our neighbors came out of their houses at 7:00 and banged pots for five minutes to let the front line nurses know how much we celebrated their dedication and to thank them for their sacrifices and services....
It was started nationally and my wife just organized our neighbors.....

It was incredible.....After a few nights, if the nurses weren't working, they would come out every night, bow, and wave at us and blow us all kisses.

The Democrats need to spearhead this once again, all across the nation.....Pot banging at 7:00 every night for five minutes.
I can only imagine that in most neighborhoods, even the MAGATS will be forced to come out and join us or be faced with a neighborhood of shameing and humiliation.............Websites across the nation where we can buy campaign style yard signs saying: THIS HOUSE SUPPORTS HEALTH CARE GIVERS, ETC ETC ETC Just let the MAGATS fly their Trump flags and confederate flags on their houses, instead of a yard sign that they support the health care workers......

Let the firefighters and EMS workers pulling up in front of a house for a medical call that doesn't have a yard sign know that they are entering a house with MAGATS who have done nothing to help them, and often stood in the way of them taking care of the patients that were Masking and Vaxxing, and making their jobs infinitely worse......

(AND THE MAGATS SHOULD ALL FACE PUBLIC HUMILIATION BY ALL OF US, FOR THIER ATROCIOUS CONFRONTATION AND DEMEANING, AND DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR TOWARDS ALL CARE GIVERS.) We should all carry pocket air horns, and when we are confronted sound off with it to focus attention on THEM instead of us, others of us could surround the asshole and sound our air horns also. Intimidate them in public like they try to do to us.......

and sacrifices should be granted that level of recognition and acknowledgment. Any educational
and training debts should be forgiven.

for trying to help.

(reply from a nurse)... Those assholes that attack nurses are probably the ones who didn't get the COVID vaccine, and blame us for not "fixing" them.

without even saying it. ICU nurses have talked about patients, testing positive for Covid, about to be intubated and put on a respirator screaming that the Dems are politically conning everyone into believing it is Covid and that they don't have covid......LOL

And not realizing that those words are the last words they will ever speak.................

They should put that on all their tombstones: I didn't have Covid...........

We are well past the point at which the willfully unvaccinated should be relocated by gunpoint into FEMA camps where the disease can run rampant among them without affecting the rest of society.

Just kidding. Well not really.

During the shutdown Hugh got into bread - baking mode and delivered loaves of bread to random first responders and health care workers. He is a kind and caring man.

That's Dali, his French bulldog, out for a walk. Dali is always very well-dressed!

Glad people with loud voices are spreading this message. Our Healthcare workers are so amazing. We would be in tons of trouble without them.
