Otitis is a great person! I would be honored to work with him. He makes a work day feel shorter when working with him. I bet the patients love him too. Nice

❤️😔It’s so sad to see how population is looking for a reason to go out and spread the virus 🦠 that is the reason why everyone is complaining that children should return to school in order for them to use the school reason to be going out and spreading the virus 🦠 in the way to school by socialising with other parent throughout the journey just to make one of them died and use that as an escuse to blame the government for poor management... we all need to thank the 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼government 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼for prioritising our health first throughout this pandemic... children can do online learning and be at home safe... rather than create another WAVE and give more pressure to the NHS STAFF MEMBER who also deserve a break from all this pressure that they been facing since day one 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️let’s stop complaining and start to thank the government for this national lockdown; our life is more important at this stage of this pandemic 😷 situation.
