Yesterday we featured Doctor Keith Diaz as a Healthcare Hero battling the global pandemic from the front lines of the USA in New York City. Today we bring you Nurse Tina. At the height of the pandemic in NYC - hopefully we are on the downswing, looking at the numbers - the quotes from Nurse Tina were those of the valiant staff at her hospital being "mentally and physically exhausted" from fighting this invisible enemy. Support from the community meant a lot, and still does. It's an honor to wholeheartedly support these medical warriors day in and day out and it's an honor to call this one my cousin! Good job, Tina!
This is my cousin Nurse Tina. She is a hero. She is currently putting in overtime hours working the frontlines of the Covid19 pandemic at a New York City hospital, where approximately 90 percent of new patients are Coronavirus patients. Coronavirus quarantine to us is catching up with old friends and new ones with Facebook games and passing the baton from coffee to wine in our free time. For her, it is extended shifts working long hours in overcrowded conditions while caring for patient after patient, at the same time taking every precaution to protect herself, her family, her own loved ones.
This is New York City today, it could be your city tomorrow.
The staff of our wonderful healthcare heroes are physically and mentally exhausted. But they keep going back day after day, caring for those stricken with the illness, and taking care of those that still need emergency care not related to Covid19.
Nurses are the first line of defense. They are selfless. If you want to help Nurse Tina, stay home. Abide by the quarantine, don’t spread the virus. The support and respect from the community keeps them going.
It’s not easy for these heroes, but Cheers to you, Nurse Tina, Thank you for what you do. We know you are giving your best and we are proud of you and all your peers who are fighting this war with you. You got this. Ah Yeah.
Continue to applaud your healthcare heroes. This fight would be too easily lost without their perseverance and bravery!
Together, united, we will prevail.
