Housekeepers and Janitors Need Praise As Unsung but Very Much Important
Remember when the NRA told doctors to āstay in their laneā RE gun violence and #thisismylane trended as a result?
One of the tweets I saw was a surgeon whoād taken a picture of her OR, having just finished surgery on a young man whoād been shot. Blood. Everywhere.
This bloke retweeted her, mentioning that he worked as a cleaner in a hospital and had had to clean up stuff like this and worse.
Surgeon replied to him (and went up *greatly* in my estimation) and, despite living in different countries, thanked him for his hard work.
I canāt find the tweets sadly, but hers went something like;
āWithout a clean and sterile operating room to work in, my team, our skills and the best medicines in the world are next to useless. You are doing invaluable work, without which my work would be impossible.ā
WITHOUT PEOPLE DOING THE CLEANING, SOCIETY WOULD GRIND TO A HALT WITHIN DAYS
Every garbage workersā strike shows it.
Give them the respect they damn well deserve.
