Respect

,, Messages with hearts, cards from flowers, respect. That people are so proud of healthcare workers. Or that they mind that young girls like me have to experience this. But yes, that is the reality. There are a lot of young people working in the hospital and health care sector who have to deal with corona and face the sometimes terrible consequences of the virus. “

According to the nurse, the publication of her story has certainly brought about something beautiful.

Scattered

“Because the hospital, family, friends and many more people have shared it, it has spread more widely than I can see. That is only good.
