Clap for paramedics:”Thank you, doctors and nurses, for their selfless service amid COVID-19 pandemic”.
It’s our responsibility to show gratitude to doctors, nurses, and everyone during the crises of COVID -19. The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. Medicines cure diseases but only doctors cure patients. Someone said, “some heroes don’t wear capes, we call them doctors! “, and rightly so.
As the third decade of the 21st century just raised it’s certain, a novel coronavirus broke out in Wuhan, turning hospitals into battlefields and medical staffs into soldiers. They are sticking to their post in the heart of danger and going directly into the battlefield. The current novel coronavirus outbreak is a reminder of the dedication of the medical and nursing professions. The medical profession is perhaps the most prestigious yet challenging one. Observation, reason, human understanding, courage; these make the physician. Doctors remove the miseries and the same lives, and that is perhaps the reason why they are often considered equivalent to God. A doctor is a person after God who has the ability to save life of the people on earth. Being doctor is not just a profession, it’s a way of life. They are those who find the way to find themselves by losing themselves in the service of others.
For the past -months, lakhs of people have been selflessly serving others day and night without caring about themselves. Doctors are risking their lives to ensure that the disease does not spread from patients to family members and others. Doctors are unable to live their lives outside of the hospital and stop themselves from seeing their families out of fear of infecting them. They are risking their lives in the battle against a virus. They live in the battle against a virus. They deprive their sleep and these sleep-deprived heroes come armed with stethoscopes and thermometers. ” Not all angels have wings, some have stethoscopes”.
Wear the white coat with pride and dignity, it is an honor And privilege to get to serve the public as a physician. The hospital is their theatre and the ventilator often the weapon of last resort. In global warming against COVID-19, they are our true heroes. Doctors, nurses, pathologists and paramedics, ambulance, drivers medical clearers, and administrators are our heroes. Some have looked at desperate faces stricken with a virus and healed them, brought them back to safety. Some of them lost their battles of life. And many laid down their lives on duty.
They are our true heroes. In most cases, these priceless warriors have had to cut themselves often from their own families and loved ones to prevent infecting them. This extraordinary sacrifice for humanity deserves our unending gratitude. But only is not sufficient. When this crisis is over, there must ba reassessment of who we value most society at the time of misery. We should consider many things for them such as higher wages and better medical fraternity. When we invest so much money in “real heroes” and “sports stars” We often forget to invest in advancing medical research and technology. We often fail in acknowledging that doctors are the last frontier of our modern battles. The time has come now to show our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the real heroes around the world. We appreciate you, we love you, you made us believe that real superheroes don’t wear caps come to put on a white coat with glory, too. At last, we thank you all for being there when the World is in shortage of superheroes. People might forget your name but they will not forget how you make them feel. Just b brave and keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. Life is precious, everything is important, you are that flag bearer of hope who never let us lose hope in life. You hold our hand in most difficult times. Thank you, doctors.
