I told my boyfriend that I didn’t get the promotion and guy just hissed and said “their loss”
I thought that was the end of it cos we all know men don’t do emotional stuff
But last night his mum called and said “I heard what happened “ and this woman proceeded to tell me how she was overlooked 4 times too..
After the call, I texted him why and he replied
“ I didn’t know what to say, but I knew she would”
🥺
What happened at the hospital changed how I see nurses forever.
In Nigeria, many people complain about nurses, their sharp tone, strict faces, and the way they say “next person!” like they’re angry. So when I got to the hospital that day and one nurse spoke to me with that same serious expression, I immediately assumed she was rude
The waiting room was full. Babies crying, someone’s aunt fanning herself with a file, one generator outside struggling for breath, and everybody murmuring about how long they had been there. Then an old man near the corner suddenly slumped from his chair. Before anyone could even process what happened, that same “rude” nurse ran faster than everyone in the room. She caught his head before it hit the floor, started shouting instructions, checked his pulse, called for oxygen, and somehow stayed calm while all of us were panicking.
For almost twenty minutes she didn’t stop moving. Sweat everywhere, gloves on, voice firm, eyes focused. The old man finally responded, and the whole room exhaled together. Then she stood up, adjusted her scarf, looked at the next patient and said, “Who is next?” in the same stern voice.
That was when it hit me, some people are not rude, they’re just carrying pressure we cannot see. Since that day, I’ve respected nurses differently. Nigeria will stress you, yet some people still show up daily to save lives.
