“As such text has been received by me from Mrs Victoria Dionisio, resident of Bicholim whose is a educationist by profession,” she said.
She said that reading such text has dampen nurses spirits.
“We nurses are toiling day and night out as frontline workers 24×7 during this pandemic instead of having an attitude of gratitude towards us such people are sending text across which has definitely hurt us and discouraged us. Yes we are working as FLW in Covid wards we have sacrificed our leave, our leisure, our family time in service of the public that doesn’t give them the right to discriminate us and defame our image,” she said.
She asked “are SARS 2 virus??? Do we spread the infection?”.
Lisma says the nurses have served as FLW ,since March 22nd, 2020 and are still serving as Covid warriors till date
“As such I would humbly request you as the President of Our Esteemed Association that this person should publicly apologize to the entire Nursing Fraternity in writing and action for such as indigenous act such be taken against her,” she added.
