Last Saturday, the British daily The Guardian published a very interesting text on healthcare workers.
More particularly on their fatigue, their mental exhaustion.
BATTLEFIELDS
Do you know what depresses healthcare workers the most? What exhausts them the most, what undermines their morale the most, what even pushes them to burn-out?
Contrary to what you might think, it’s not the number of hours they have to work or the number of patients they have to see each day, no.
It is to treat unvaccinated people.
That knocks them down.
“There is nothing more disheartening than seeing a person end up in intensive care because they refused a vaccine that was available free of charge and scientifically proven to work,” said an emergency physician in Houston.
“I was 12 years in the military and as part of my missions, I received all possible and impossible vaccines,” said a surgeon from Arizona. It is extremely frustrating to see so many people turning their backs on science. Through their irresponsibility, these people turn our emergencies into battlefields … “
The hardest part, for health workers trained to care for the sick, is to tell people waiting for surgery that they will not be able to have an operation, because the hospital’s resources are mobilized by unvaccinated who fill emergencies.
Imagine …
“I know that you are a responsible citizen who is double-vaccinated and who followed all the instructions, but you have to wait and take your trouble patiently, because we have to take care of a person who did not give a damn about the pandemic, who laughed at doctors, who ridiculed public health experts and who never lifted a finger to protect others.
“Suddenly, because of his own carelessness, this person who only thought about his navel and his rights needs my knowledge and my expertise …”
- Listen to Richard Martineau’s interview with Dr. François Marquis, Head of the Intensive Care Department at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, on QUB radio:
ARE YOU NOT TANNED?
Says a Philadelphia psychiatrist who treats healthcare workers at their wit’s end:
“It is difficult for doctors and nurses to treat unvaccinated patients: they feel they are risking their lives and that of their families for people who do not care about them …”
I know what some of you are thinking: “Are you telling us, Richard, that doctors should stop treating smokers, people who are not careful what they eat, or people who do not exercise, on the pretext that they do not have a healthy lifestyle and that they are irresponsible? “
The answer to this question is simple: no.
First, I never said we shouldn’t treat the unvaccinated.
And second: if you spend your days sitting on your sofa sucking your beer and eating cheese poop, you are only putting your health at risk, not that of everyone around you!
I’m just saying: aren’t you tired of pissing off everyone, damn antivax?
