WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Nurse Jenny from New Zealand says that helping save somebody as notable as Boris Johnson in his battle with the coronavirus didn’t faze her thanks to her years of dealing with stressful situations in intensive care wards.
Nurses are amazing people.
Everywhere.
This is war.
She is as brave a person as you’ll ever hear from.
Yeah but this is mostly a fluff piece about Boris Johnson…so if you needed an article about hero nurses coping in the middle of this pandemic, I’m not sure this was the article that would have conveyed that obvious message the best.
And in the face of this kind of courage and compassion our “leader” continues to whine because no one praises him sufficiently for his indecisiveness and inaction. 
Hmmmm. Now you’re making me think. Perhaps the piece would have been better had they written from the viewpoint of Arden reaching out to praise and congratulate her expatriate countrywoman? Just a thought…
I commented on what the nurse did and said.
You remain free to do otherwise.
Thanks but I don’t need your permission “to do otherwise”.
You two. 
If I have to stop this thread and come back there to straighten things out, you won’t like it at all. LOL
It was not permission, simply a fact.
You must have something against nurses. I can’t imagine what it is.
Did you just “imagine” that she has something against nurses? That seems a tad unfair, and likely to inflame an already skewed line of discussion, don’t you think? (I’m seriously trying to be a peacemaker here, even though neither of you invited me to, so this is my last comment.)
Granted: It was only one of several possible explanations!
Agreed. They, nurses, were heroes/heroines before this crisis and they will remain that long after it. This is not to disparage doctors, but in a hospital setting you see yours for What, 2-3 minutes before they have to move on? The majority of your stay is in the capable hands of the RNs, the ones who have time to listen to you and give you answers to necessary day-to-day hospital questions.
I will never forget the way the labor and delivery nurses guided my wife (and her clueless, stressed out Doofus of a husband) through the long process of induced labor. I don’t believe in magical sky angels, but that’s the best word I can use to describe them.
Wow! What an imbecile!
Well, everyone has bad days.
I, for example, have had many thousands!
Johnson says something nice about nurses who helped save his life. Why do you think this was published? Di you think it was because they wanted to praise nurses?
Whatever the reason, why should it constrain my remarks?
Someone wanted to praise nurses. Can you guess who?
