Dancing Medics

How would we feel if funeral directors were doing the same?
Is it any different?

Or the energy after a shift Daisymae.

Eazybee, I don't even stand outside clapping !

Good luck to them; I don't find it disrespectful, and I am assuming it is done in their rest breaks. If I was on the wards I would like to watch the rehearsals.
Do people really think that these staff are untouched by the tragic deaths they witness daily?

Stand outside and applaud their hard work, yes, but pictures of them having a break and having fun; oh dearie me no.

Really?

I just wondered how they find the time to rehearse

Must admit I'm among those who felt it was an opportunity for hardworking medics to let off steam... Good on them!

There's a time and a place and it's NOT in the workplace.

Yes, I've got an idea-----18,000+ people have died, let's act daft and dance ! It's excruciating to watch.

With so many that have died and who remain to be ill ?? NO !

How would anyone who's lost someone like to see this ?

quizqueen I know of someone from a care home who was put in the Manchester Nightingale just yesterday. They do have the staff.

I agree with MaizieD These are people doing an incredibly stressful job - so they let off steam occasionally, where's the harm? I am sure they didn't suddenly desert the wards to practice and then film the dance routine just as I am sure any patients watching would have enjoyed it.

I think it's unprofessional and attention-seeking, but harmless.

Is this a serious question?

Those wonderful, dedicated, poorly paid, hardworking staff, some of whom are putting themselves in danger every working day, aren't allowed a bit of fun?

How bl**dy dare they practise a dance routine and video it. Of course, they may be doing it before or after they go on their shift, but let's just assume that they're time wasting...

As for 'disrespectful', I think that most people in hospital love the cheerfulness of the staff, it's a boost to their morale. And things like this keep up staff morale, too. I think it's good.

I'm not assuming that the OP thinks negatively about these videos, just getting my bit in

The 4 Nightingale hospitals have barely been used and more are due to open, apparently. Why weren't some of the people from care homes, who have flu, put in them? It seems they don't have the staff.

That should tell everyone-well, at least, those who don't have anti privatisation blinkers on- that the NHS is rubbish at managing money and resources and that the 'experts' have been wrong ( yet again!) so, in future, financial decisions need to be outsourced to someone who knows what they are doing!

I think in their current awful situation, losing so many of their colleagues, anything that distracts them for a few moments is wonderful. Dancing is good for endorphins!

I understand that the non-covid-19 wards are finding they have far fewer patients due to all the cancellations, perhaps they have a little time to rehearse.
