This is such a dumb post.
That man doesn't represent all men and doctors, that woman doesn't represent all women or nurses. They're two unique people with their own thoughts and feelings on the matter. They're both working to save lives, that’s what’s important. Also, apparently the doctor was interviewed for an article and the nurse’s post was just a venting post on social media, so of course they’d say different things.
Also, the woman has a very valid point: signing up to be a nurse or doctor doesn’t mean signing up to be a sacrificial lamb. You
can get sick, yes, but most of the time you should have some measure of protection against infectious patients. All our healthcare workers should be protected by PPE. Especially nurses, they have far more contact with patients and more risk of getting sick.
I have a personal stake in this because my 8-months-pregnant sister-in-law is a nurse (thankfully she works in the newborn ICU and not with infectious patients). My family worries about her a lot.
