RURAL CLINIC WORKERS ARE FORGOTTEN
REMEMBER ALL FRONT LINE MEDICAL WORKERS, INCLUDING SMALL TOWN RURAL WORKERS. THE FORGOTTEN HEROES---THOSE THAT GO TO WORK EVERYDAY, NEVER KNOWING WHO WILL WALK IN THEIR CLINIC WITH FULL BLOWN COVID 19.
Why is this important?
I AM THE MOTHER OF A SMALL TOWN HEALTHCARE WORKER, I LIVE WITH HER AND SEE HER EVERYDAY BECAUSE I HAVE BREAST CANCER AND TAKING CHEMO EVERY WEEK.
SHE IS TERRIFIED THAT SHE WILL BRING THE VIRUS HOME TO ME, NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL WE ARE. I AM NOT DENYING THAT ALL HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE AT RISK---EVERYDAY---ALL HEALTHCARE WORKER AND EMTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IF MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM THROUGH THIS CRISIS,
THEY FACE ALL THINGS THAT OTHER HEALTHCARE WORKERS FACE, THE LPN'S, THE PROVIDER, THE OFFICE WORKERS ALL FACE PEOPLE EVERYDAY THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW, THEY COME TO THE CLINIC WANTING TO BE TESTED BUT THE CLINIC DOES NOT HAVE TESTING FOR EVERYONE. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO COME IN WITH FEVER, COUGHING---ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF COVID19. IN ORDER TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED FOR TESTING AND THEN IT TAKES DAYS TO GET THE RESULTS.
THESE WORKERS ARE PAID MUCH LESS THAN THE BIG HOSPITALS PAY AND YET THEY ARE EXPOSED EVERYDAY.
PLEASE CONSIDER THEM FOR BONUSES OR WHATEVER EXTRA MONEY THERE IS FOR PEOPLE ON THE FRONT LINES---BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY MUCH ON THE FRONT LINES, IN THE EARLY STAGES WHERE IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND OUT IF THE PATIENT TESTS POSITIVE.
