Nurses making patients a priority... cherish the thought!
If the nurses strike they betray their very calling, endangering lives and causing suffering.
On Sunday evening I watched a news bulletin in which a nurse and father of a small girl said he wanted to give her experiences which she would remember and cherish but that he could not afford to do so on his salary, so he would strike.
Really? His child’s pleasure is worth more than another’s life or wellbeing? There will be people worrying about putting sufficient food on the table for their children, about keeping the roofs over their heads as mortgages rise, about turning up the heating.
Cherished experiences will be low on their list of priorities but accessing NHS care will be mighty high. They don’t need to find the nurses aren’t there.
