O knihe

A crime committed against nurses. Stabbed in the heart several times! This nursing memoir explores the pivotal years of the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto, Canada. 2019 is memorable for me only in hindsight. The year birthed a deadly virus, and Ontario's wage suppression bill (Bill 124) for selected public service workers. 2020 was the year we felt the full effects. The virus spread to become the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, unions rose united to challenge Bill 124 in court. 2021 was a game changing year with the rollout of COVID vaccines to the public. 2022 was a year of heightened emotions and protests. The unions "won" their court challenge, but the provincial government appealed. As the fifth and largest COVID wave of infections spread, convoy protesters gathered in Ottawa to willfully ignore the pandemic's continued destruction of human lives. However, nurses kept on caring for patients under these new circumstances. Nurses were truly stabbed in the heart by the provincial government with Bill 124. Stabbed a second time by anti-COVID mandate/anti-vaxxer convoy protesters. Then stabbed a third time, when the government appealed the initial court's decision. Where's the respect for frontline, health care workers? Where's the respect for hospital nurses? If you stab nurses, will they not bleed? Would they not leave the nursing industry altogether? Take a journey through the eyes of a nurse. Then, decide for yourself.
