Letter to the editor: Hats off to health-care workers, the tip of the spear

If you have a chance, thank them for their hard work

The University Hospital of Northern British Columbia is located in Prince George, BC.

After being diagnosed with cancer when I was 20 years old, I was amazed by the nurses and doctors who treated me. And 10 years later I was diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder 2 with severe chronic depression. It has been 30 years since that diagnosis and I have suffered a lot of other medical problems.

Everybody who worked during the pandemic is a hero! My niece is an RN and she got COVID twice!

I was in the hospital a couple of months ago and I asked the doctors and the nurses if they were tired, and they are! Have you ever thought of what these wonderful human beings had to go through to become our life-carers?

They say a little appreciation goes a long way. So when you have to see these amazing people, thank them for the hard work they had to do, and still do daily!
