Working physio shift on wkends brings perspective. 22 patients, 10 plus wards, 15,000 steps, more gloves, aprons, gowns, visors and goggles than I would have imagined a year ago. #Covid_19 Much respect to my colleagues doing this day in day out #heroesaretherapytoo

It’s been a good start to the day. These 3 gifts, plus a physio telling me it was the training she and to that made the diff in her interview and subsequent promotion.. and the domestic telling me he didn’t think I was a manager as I was “ too nice”.Food for thought and gratitude
