[@tigress63]

Selena Thomas is an amazing nurse. She recognizes that many patients still hear when they are in an incapacitated state. Later on even though they may not fully remember things, it is still a calming influence on the patient to be talked to as procedures are done so it is not so frightening. It is so important not to talk negatively about a patient's prognosis within earshot like that one doctor did near the beginning.

That horrible sinking feeling when one of your patients dies, compounded by multiple people dying is demoralising. We know we give our all to try and save patients, but nontheless, our hearts just bottom out. We are expected to front up to others as being on top of our game and in charge of ourselves and emotions. Expectation to show we are not effected by what has just happened to the previous patient cannot be understood unless in our shoes. I admire each and everyone of our colleagues in the Front line. I honour and respect you all. Bless each and everyone of you.

[@maryriley6163]

I wonder about the emotional repercussions these nurses and doctors will suffer down the road. The amount of stress they face every day is, to me, incomprehensible. I'm a retired licensed practical nurse who worked in the nursing home industry some years ago. The high level of training and experience these nurses have is far, far beyond anything I ever had to do. My heart goes out to them and their patients.

My father died last December 27, 2021. He was hospitalized with Covid-19 after 18 days they moved him to intensive care saying he needed more oxygen. As soon as they put him on the ventilator he had a heart attack. They brought him back but he had a second heart attack and they were not able to bring him back. My dad was so hopeful to get the vaccine before he caught COVID. We had hope he would be able to get out of the hospital alive because he was doing okay but suddenly he needed more oxygen. Seeing this video makes me realize on the hard work of all medical personnel also I imagine how my father was afraid and alone when they incubated him as well all the other patients that go through the same and ended up dead. It’s been very hard to cope with his loss along with the loss of 4 more other family members. I hope people take care of themselves and get vaccinated.

[@aviatrix91]

I was first diagnosed with COVID-19 last July, I was immediately hospitalized and didn’t come out until mid-October after 7 weeks in ICU, 15 days on a ventilator, an LTAC stay, and many days where my life just hung in the balance. If I hadn’t crashed while visiting the hospital on other business, I would absolutely not have a positive outcome. I went from running with my daughter, 4 days later I was fighting for my life on a ventilator. I still get flashbacks to when I was in the hospital on the vent, hallucinating, and a dear death experience. During one of the codes, the only thing I could think of was that “this what it is like to die. But what am I dying of? Cancer, heart attack, COVID-19?” All I knew was that I was dying. I still ask family questions about certain sequence of events. A lot of it still remains a jumbled mess inside my brain. I’ve been fundamentally changed by COVID. While I’d otherwise watch a video about this, I find that I can’t watch them because I still internalize this way too much. It’s like PTSD. Maybe one day I can, but right now, 7 months later it’s still tough to handle. I’m coming to terms with the fact that I’ll never run again and that I’ll probably never get off oxygen. Still, I’m alive, but it’s a lot to contend with. Thank you so much healthcare workers! Because of your valiant efforts, my husband has his wife, and my 14-year-old daughter has her mom back. I want to say a special “thank you” to Adam, the COVID ICU nurse who literally held my hand for several nights because I was so terrified of dying alone.

I started working in the ER at my Indian reservation in Arizona when the pandemic first hit. I’ve seen many patients get intubated, go into code blue, heard many rapid responses over the intercoms. We’re in a very small town in Arizona we could only do so much so flying our patients to nearby cities which are Phoenix and Tucson both equally a 2 hour drive from me, we always wonder if the patient will get there safe and sound if they get into cardiac arrest. I’m still working there to this day and nothing has not changed since I’ve started. Everyday is definitely not the same but I always thank my colleagues, the nurses, the physicians, the ER techs, the pharmacists, the respiratory therapists, the radiology team.

Thank you for telling the story of these brave individuals. I was moved to tears. I am one of those who has been diligent about wearing my mask, washing my hands and social distancing. I still got COVID-19 from a high risk of death family member that I thought was taking the same precautions. I was angry, wounded. It caused a major rift in our relationship. I trusted them. We talked ALL the time about the precautions & how to keep each other safe. They were the person for whom I was diligently taking all these precautions. Their life was more important to me than seeing my friends, eating out, all the inconvenience I suffered with mask wearing & sanitizing everything. And yet, my life was not as important to them. I had all the consequences. My workplace was shut down immediately for cleaning. A third of my coworkers were quarantined for 14 days. The other 2/3 were overworked during those 14 days. My employer graciously paid all of those who were quarantined. The cost to my employer was huge! My loved one & I will eventually move past this, but the disappointment, anger, pain, frustration, fear, devastation, sense of betrayal, is overwhelming at this moment in time. I have been sicker than my loved one. I am the one who can’t seem to shake the vestiges of this virus even though I had a “minor” case. I am angry!

He was there for roughly three weeks, over which time his lungs couldn’t work anymore. He was intubated the day after he was moved and never recovered. His death was devastating for his siblings, his wife and two sons. No one got to speak with him before his death. When he got sick, everyone in his family got Covid. Everyone was vaccinated and recovered quickly. My brother was not going to be told he had to have the shot……the consequences to his actions have been horrid. He made his choice, I don’t think he wanted things to end this way, but it did. He was a new grandpa at 67 years old, no lung issues but had arthritis.

And not only nurses but doctors, CNA, janitors and people who helped me walk, people who help me breathe and so many of them that i can’t remember because i was Unconscious for 2 days. Thank you so much for all workers in the hospitals.

Front line workers are the true angels of this earth

[@2kiona]

I hope that medical teams all over this country know they ARE appreciated for what they've done during this pandemic. I can't imagine having to do the work you all do, and brave doesn't begin to describe you guys. Thank you for EVERYTHING you've done and continue to do. And for those patients who refused to believe they had COVID, that's just fear talking.

I love "Dr. Love"! Mary and I knew each other when we worked out together at the Vince Lombardi Center on the Bronx campus of Fordham University in the Summer of 1986. She was then and still is an exceptional human being. I regret that I let her get away from me but the world is truly a better place because of her talents as an M.D. Even then I knew that she was my superior and that she would achieve her goal of being the medical professional that she is today while I failed to achieve my goal of being an attorney. Oh well one less shyster in the world won't hurt but the Bronx will miss her if and when she decides to retire. I hope that you read this tribute to you from me and that someday before I die that you will honor me by accepting a very tempting dinner offer that I will cook for you. I make a delicious and healthy chicken Parmigiana that even the late Rush Limbaugh would have enjoyed had he accepted it. All kidding aside it would be my honor to cook for you and one guest of your choice. My brother will be your official host for the occasion-----I'm just the cook and the entertainment! I hope to hear from soon. Gino

I always wanted to be a nurse but I don't think I could do this one. God bless them.

Love the documentary. Very hard not to watch! Thank you 🙏 to every single person involved for helping covid patients daily. All of you matter. 💜

[@chinettajackson2139]

I remember I cried in my car because we didn’t have enough PPE. My manager at the time didn’t make it better. She gave us a bag of gloves and one mask to work with for the whole day. That was like a stab in the heart. I work for hospice. We had to go into these homes, with families sick and coughing. I’ll never forget. I saw a different side of her. She use to laugh and play in the office, right when COVID hit. She gave me bad anxiety. I didn’t understand. That manager isn’t there anymore because her and her family was hit hard by COVID.

[@maealegado9351]

Salute to all the healthcare frontliners around the world! 👏👏👏👏👏

My wish is to live everyone a safety and healthy life..

[@091810grrl]

Wow she said “no matter weather my patients are responsive or not, I still talk to them” thats deep

[@Jimmytimmy1111]

I always talk to my patients as if they are awake and alive, even when they have passed- i talk to my patients and tell them what I am doing ie when I am washing them for the last time , putting on their toe tag etc. this is a person who in body and spirit , deserves respect . This goes for all of the nurse i have ever worked with. How can you sleep at night otherwise

[@Blessings.429]

THANK YOU, YOU ARE HERO’S and ANGELS 👼 I cried, 66yr old baby who is no nurse but felt so grateful to all those Dr’s and nurses. I live in Australia and realise that our nurses are facing the same thing, you are all Angels.💖🇦🇺💖

[@andrea.pauline]

thank you frontline workers for everything you do. i could never imagine the situation you have to face each and every when dealing with covid. there are many people who do understand the reality with covid and how serious this virus can do not only to yourself but for others. so thank you. thank you for risking your lives everyday in order to assist and care to the best of your abilities to treat each positive patient. we understand it is not easy seeing a patient pass, but we know you all are working your absolute hardest. may you, the fronliners, stay safe and may your families stay safe as well. and take care

[@Crafting_Through_Life]

It infuriates me that half of those miracle workers are now without a job because they didn’t want the vaccine. We need to fight for their rights and the reality is we lose just as many people if not more patients every year to the flu and things like mrsa then we have to covid but the news media doesn’t cover that. They deserve to have a choice if they want to risk the awful side effects of the vaccine or not. Let’s fight for their jobs and our rights.
