Sacrificed: Ontario Healthcare Workers in the Time of COVID-19
Healthcare workers (HCWs) in Ontario, Canada have faced unprecedented risks during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been infected at an elevated rate compared to the general public. HCWs have argued f...

If they had any conscience for the harm they did and have done and actually learned from their mistake of adamantly insisting covid isnt airborne, theyd be calling for hcws to use respirators as a standard of care. but they wont.

Not to absolve them of responsibility they absolutely have, but it definitely doesnt help when the WHO has given them the white card to proceed this way. Their information for HCWs says they should use n95s based on their personal preferences for the situation. Not how that works!

I’m so sorry. That truly sucks. I hate that so few HCWs mask routinely. It makes zero sense for them or their patients.

MAID IS compassionate
Unless they’re being denied care which pretty much every disabled person is right now
Such as:
accommodations at work-to avoid deterioration
safe healthcare(HCWs in N95s)
out of country treatments
UBI to live independently with dignity
funds cuts to research/care

Nothing on preventative efforts like masking, air filters to protect patients etc. So this isn't exactly a guide on how to treat PwLC but a very broad overview, maybe to address medical dismissal and stigma? Regardless, it can be cited as an example by a 'trusted source' that HCWs must be informed.

I needed 4 major surgeries over the last 6yrs & now have cancer, it’s absolutely devastating to rely on HCWs who have been the ONLY people who gave me C19
I have Long Covid since my first HAI in 2020 from surgery& I have seen nurses get increasingly worse re:😷
&take it out on patients who wear N95s

TY for trying!
I’m heading into my 4th major surgery in the last 6 yrs where my 🏥s have been at 110% capacity & every shift under staffed
Nothing feels safe,everyone’s on edge,it’s impossible to sleep nevermind recover while there
I miss our once🌎class ON 🏥care😔
Patients&HCWs deserve better!❤️🩹

Hard to feel safe going into surgery with no masks on HCWs in pre op, only surgicals in the OR & then no masks again in recovery 😳

I think of all the HCWs these two people exposed to airborne illness. All of which could have been prevented with a simple respirator mask.
I'm convinced this is the way. Why do our OH and S hospital staff not feel the same way?

ridiculous; that's like saying "You have to stop at red lights unless you don't wanna."
When a state or healthcare system tells hcws they don't have to vax, that's inherently conveying the message that vaccination isn't important. And that's how you end up like Oregon.

Great sentiment
ABSOLUTELY crucial for mandated N95s to prevent airborne transmission🙏
Just a heads up,HCWs WON’T be protecting patients bc there’s0️⃣ accountability/enforcement&they just don’t want to🤷🏻♀️
Even pre op & recovery nurses refuse to😷,like at all,so let er rip I guess🫤
Patients need safe🏥

Best you educate yourself before assuming I don’t🙄
If you ARE a HCW,I’m seeing plenty other HCWs showing their unmasked ignorance at hospitals&cancer clinics so you’re absolutely not alone in spreading disability&death
It’s just sad how low HCWs have sunk🤷🏻♀️
First,do no harm🤦🏻♀️

Mine is mild to moderate, I am fully aware others have it worse. I have to fight hcws to protect my baseline and they just don't get it.

💙 I’m sorry it’s so hard. It’s enraging & dispiriting. We have a dentist appointment soon & I’m trying to weigh our odds of potential infection with high rates now. I am so sick of dealing with this & with oblivious HCWs. “N95? Why would we do that?”

That’s great. My husband fought cancer last year & we had to beg healthcare workers to mask while he was in recovery & they still didn’t. Luckily he didn’t get infected. Makes my blood boil to hear of cancer patients surrounded by maskless HCWs. I hope you stay cancer-free.

They just blame understaffing & the difficult/anxious patients who are complaining about med errors leading to complications
With 0️⃣ accountability & great irritability, I’m seeing more HCWs bullying patients than the other way around 😔
Safety & care has already declined greatly in the last 6 years
