I am not a hero.
 Doctor Nicola Sagrabe, 35, who works in the intensive care unit of Baguevara Hospital in Modena, Italy, published a picture of him after working for 13 hours continuously, wearing protective equipment that caused his face bruises and cuts.

"I am not a hero and I do not feel like that, I am an ordinary person who loves his job, and now I am more proud than I have ever been in doing my work, providing everything I have with other medical workers, including doctors, nurses, cleaners, and others," Sagarbi said on his Facebook page.

For these reasons, Sgarbi expressed that he does not like to take self-portraits, but took this photo after removing all protection devices, and explained this to CNN saying, "I took this photo for two reasons, first until I send it to my wife to tell her that I am finished." From work I had minor bruises on my way home, and second until I showed her to my one-year-old daughter, when she grew up and told her all these moments. "

Alicia described the suffering experienced by the medical sector when wearing the isolation uniform, and said, "I am physically tired because of the protective devices, and once I wear the isolation uniform I can no longer go to the bathroom or drink water for 6 hours."

"I fear that the mask did not stick to my face well, or maybe I accidentally touched my face with contaminated gloves or maybe my lenses did not completely cover my eyes," which caused her psychological concerns during her daily work.

She expressed her fears that she faces every day because of her work in the emergency and the psychological fatigue she feels, and she said, "I feel psychological fatigue as well as my colleagues who have been in the same condition for weeks, but this will not prevent us from doing our work as we always do. I will continue to care for patients because I am proud and love My job. And what I ask of everyone who reads this now is to stay at home and not to frustrate our efforts, "and her image got a great reaction and a million likes.

Sono i un'infermiera e in questo momento mi trovo ad affrontare questa emergenza sanitaria. Ho paura anche io, ma non di andare a fare la spesa, ho paura di andare a lavoro. Ho paura perché la mascherina potrebbe non aderire bene al viso, o potrei essermi toccata accidentalmente con i guanti sporchi, o magari le lenti non mi coprono nel tutto gli occhi e qualcosa potrebbe essere passato. Sono stanca fisicamente perché i dispositivi di protezione fanno male, il camice fa sudare e una volta vestita non posso più andare in bagno o bere per sei ore. Sono stanca psicologicamente, e come me lo sono tutti i miei colleghi che da settimane si trovano nella mia stessa condizione, ma questo non ci impedirà di svolgere il nostro lavoro come abbiamo semper fatto. Continuerò a curare e prendermi cura dei miei pazienti, perché sono fiera e innamorata del mio lavoro. Quello che chiedo a chiunque stia leggendo questo post è di non vanificare lo sforzo che stiamo facendo, di essere altruisti, di stare in casa e così proteggere chi è più fragile. Noi giovani non siamo immuni al coronavirus, anche noi ci possiamo ammalare, o peggio ancora possiamo far ammalare. Non mi posso permettere il lusso di tornarmene a casa mia in quarantena, devo andare a lavoro e fare la mia parte. Voi fate la vostra, ve lo chiedo per favore.
