1. You chose to be a nurse understanding certain protections would always be in place. That was the contract. Gov’t and employers broke that contract.

2. You would never tell a fire fighter to go into a building without suiting up with all gear on and functional.

We’re walking into deadly situations without clean PPE.

We’ve sacrificed our freedom completely to give others theirs, but they won’t even wear masks, the easiest of all sacrifices to make.

Yes, we went into our jobs knowing we will be exposed to deadly pathogens. Our families & roommates did NOT sign up for that.

No one would EVER choose a job that would threaten the lives of their children. NEVER.

We chose careers that would put us in a caretaker role. We only want to give our patients the best care we can. No one chooses healthcare with the expectation that we would be hated & assaulted.

The devastation and trauma we witness & experience is so deep, so beyond anything we could have been prepared for. It keeps getting worse. This shouldn’t be possible in advanced countries.

No one would ever choose what we’re dealing with. The devastating consequence of that is being felt by healthcare workers everywhere: they’ve left the industry altogether.

It is this terrible attitude (“you signed up for this”) that pushes many out of the door. For all we do, and all the risk we and our families take on, if people can’t do the most basic of things to make this better, then why are we fighting so hard to make this stop? 9/9
