I would absolutely love to see where Nurses/Nursing fall on the trustworthiness scale in the public mind after this. Once upon a time I was (somewhat) familiar with the profession and they constantly brought up how high up on the "trustworthy professions" nurses were in public opinion polls, and how you needed to live up to that expectation and professionalism in carrying out your duties.
There will be consequences from these condescending jerkoffs scolding everyone for not wearing masks and killing grandma, then doing a fucking dance for Tik Tok while they're allegedly inundated with dying grannies.

No doubt things change from this point on. Who knows, some people will probably have more respect for nurses after all this. Others not so much.
The truth is, Nursing is a thankless job. It's pretty low social status and LOT of the people that go in to it are quite simply cunts. Cunts that can't get another job, or cunts that maybe could get another job, but nursing suits their sociopathic so perfectly, that
that is the life for them!
There are many many good nurses.
They are the people that take your blood sample when you have a suspected serious illness.
They are the people that wipe the shit from your arse when you can't do it yourself.
They are the ones that come out and bandage your wounds, again, just like they did yesterday and will do tomorrow, when you have been burned or your skin is rotting and falling off, for whatever reason.
They have to see all this and maintain their good humour and professionalism through it all; being both healer (in the medical sense), and faith healer (in the spiritual sense). They are a notch below the Doctors whilst still being a cut above them in many ways.
They are both Madonna and whore, so to speak.
Same as that ever was and same as it will always be thus. That much won't change.
Everyone needs a dog to kick when things are going bad. And sometimes that damn dog really does deserve a kicking. But probably not as much as they do get kicked, overall.
Did I say it was a thankless task?
A lot of nurses are uptight bastards that feel powerless, hate their lives hate their jobs, hate their 'patients', hate their 'superiors' and hate themselves, when it really comes down to it. Pretty much like 90 percent of the rest of the skivvy population.
If you ain't got it made it's a struggle not to fade.
Indeed.
Some of the tarts do it until they can bag a Doctor, which was the whole game from the start for them. Bit like the old Air Hostess game. Or people that go Ball Room Dancing at the age of 50. Meet new friends...
Some do it to make a difference, and they do, and they do it until they burn out.
Some didn't hate the game when they went in to it, but they certainly hate it when they leave.
Nurses are human. Prone to the same frustrations and annoyances that plague us all. They have a bit more power to act out, but not much.
But they do what they can. Whether that is overdosing patients and killing them out of sheer spite, or overdosing them and saving them out of some kind of munchie complex, or just doing their thankless mundane jobs under a pile of shit from both their superiors, the patients, the administrators, the do-gooders, the angry relatives that blame them that 'Little Billy' died, whilst being 30Kg overweight and with a liver that shoud really be buried separately with honours. And a big red flag in the ground that warns others about the hepatoxicity that lies here within. Here be demon drinkers. It doesn't really work like that, but try telling that to Bubba!
Tie those fucking whores to the whipping post and beat them one last time!
Or maybe beatify them.
Blowing hot and cold. Nurses get stress-tested on not just a daily but an hourly basis.
It's a testament to their fortitude and deeper character. Of course a lot of them can't cut it. But many do.
And that's the real miracle, here.

Don't be too hard on the silly cunts. People do stupid shit at work and that gets magnified. They'd prolly cringe themselves if you showed it to them a week/month/year later.
Nurses, in more ways than one, are the backbone of the health system. You can survive without doctors, you can't really survive without nurses, not in the greater regard.
Doctors diagnose. Nurses, 'nurse', 'heal', 'give comfort'...
We need them more than they need us!
