- People in the healthcare industry are less likely than those in sports and the arts to be awarded British honors like knighthoods and damehoods, a study suggests.
After crunching the numbers on a decade’s worth of recipients, Emelifeonwu and his team found that, in general, people in sports were about 22 times more likely than healthcare workers to receive an honor. People in science and technology sectors, on the other hand, had roughly the same chance as health workers of receiving an honor.
“I just thought that contrasts to a sporting superstar asking or complaining about not receiving an honour!” Past recipients include actress Keira Knightley, fashion designer Ralph Lauren and antibiotics discoverer Alexander Fleming.“It may just be because the healthcare system employs so many people, the relative representation is lower in health,” Emelifeonwu said.
“Over two-thirds of honors are awarded to people who have undertaken outstanding work in their communities, including many working in health related sectors. This was not reflected in this report,” the statement points out.
These is not doctors and nurses, these is angels.
No that’s just wrong. We do impressive unselfish acts of kindness every day. They deserve every accolade you can give them.
These are the people who are front line of defence when it comes fighting diseases. Even in the hospitals there are so much diseases but these people are there daily helping in various ways. They should be honoured.
In socialist countries, being a professional person is no big deal-- just part of the proletariat (Orwell's term, 'Proles'). Only elected officials and the liberal elite wallow like pigs in the trough. Much what the Left wants America to become.
“Nurses” making beds? Seriously? How about a picture of them saving lives? Conducting research? Providing care and support? This portrayal is a huge part of the problem.
Why?
