Nurses/Emergency Room Personnel

Nurses and Emergency Room Personnel are true heroes, and we must be forever grateful to them. We must never forget the sacrifices they made during the pandemic. They all worked very long mandatory hours, while the emergency rooms were packed with covid patients, and every hospital bed was filled. Their faces were scarred from wearing masks for such long periods. Again, they are true heroes.
