I went for my Covid booster shot today

I chatted a little with the nurse who did my intake, and I commented about how upbeat she was.

She explained that when she wasn't doing this, she works in the ICU, and the number of Covid deaths she has to deal with, week after week, really gets her depressed. So it really perks her up to see people coming forward to get vaccinated.

I can only imagine what it must be like to have her job these days. 馃檨

I keep hearing horror stories from nurses. I think this pandemic has been a truly traumatic experience for them, on top of their jobs already being very difficult and underpaid as it is

@AmbivalentFriability Yes. Sadly, a number have burned out and quit by now, which only puts more of a strain on hospitals. But I can't say I blame them.
