“It’s a vocation” - this like “NHS heroes” has been weaponised to imply that health care workers should feel some kind of divine gratitude for the job. It wilfully ignores the importance of reciprocity. A good article on this https://t.co/G0D6ZnUfTc

https://t.co/JlcJhp3ge9 We need help to care for patients, ourselves, and our colleagues. Wear a mask, follow restrictions, and advocate to politicians to create evidence-based public health policy
@CumminsNM I don't think it's helpful. While this article is about using the term 'healthcare heroes' in the context of COVID-19, I think its tracks on well with my views on paramedics being called 'heroes' as well https://t.co/XlTftxQHu7

“By calling health professionals ‘heroes’, policy makers in the government wanted to escape from their guilt of policy mistakes”. 46,000 NHS staff currently off with COVID-19 and the Government is responsible. Hospitals without staff are just buildings.
@isa75012 Hard friggin agree. I LOATHE this term. ESP seeing it used by hospitals who could, yknow, do something to make life actually better for employees instead of just flying happy banners. Leaving this here: https://t.co/TS43POs1oT
Again, pure political deflection and lack of insight into already identified problems associated with the heroism narrative being employed! https://t.co/MKNzecrqit Doctor saved SA from second COVID wave https://t.co/df5VFjNh4b

Brilliant “hero narrative proved a politically convenient tool for deflecting attention away from governmental errors: ‘by calling health professionals “heroes”, policy makers in government wanted to escape from their guilt of policy mistakes.’ @zf
https://t.co/7bdn6UURQU Calling healthcare workers heroes: a disservice. The war narrative is counterproductive for the very ones it tries to acknowledge. We are already seeing From Heroes to Zeroes in Pakistan. @quratula1n_s @Sualeha2 @cbec_siut
