I knew as a nurse what I should be doing, that end of time was coming and she would not make it so as a nurse I very well knew the outcome of the Covid having contracted her. But at the same time, as a daughter I did not want to let go of it, I just wanted her to hold onto the last straw. I wanted to say and scream at the top of my voice 'no don’t, I don’t want her to go'." Philip said. REUTERS/Hannah McKay

Because nursing, nurses and doctors they come in because we want to serve and care, and we want to make people better but when, no matter what we did did not bring the result we required. That sort of affected the team as a whole." Manuel said. REUTERS/Hannah McKay
