While most of us have been constantly keeping a check on the number of COVID-19 cases around the world and worrying about the magnitude of the virus, there are doctors and nurses who have been working tirelessly to put an end to this pademic. Even though the medical experts are provided with proper protective gear, they are still at the highest risk of getting infected, compared to anyone else right now.

However, so many of them are dedicatedly doing their job so that they can help as many infected people as possible and prevent the virus from spreading any further. The latest example of this 73-year-old doctor from Texas who is a physician for the emergency room.

This is my Dad. He’s a 73 year old Emergency Room physician in Texas who loves his job and will never retire.

He texted me this picture tonight after I’d asked him how he was doing, and I burst into tears the second I saw it. My reaction came out of nowhere... pic.twitter.com/YOiMT5sImy — Kristin Fisher (@KristinFisher) March 17, 2020

His journalist daughter Kristen Fisher shared her father's picture on Twitter and revealed that after she saw the photograph, she broke down in tears because of how overwhelmed she was. Her father claims that he "loves his job and will never retire." Like all of us have had our moments when we realised how serious the situation is right now, Fisher claimed that this was hers.

...I’d been watching Narcos and laughing seconds earlier. I called him to say I was worried about him, but could barely speak as I fought to keep my voice steady. I think we all have a moment where the gravity of what’s happening finally hits us. This was mine. — Kristin Fisher (@KristinFisher) March 17, 2020

The now-viral tweet is winning hearts all over social media with 9.3K retweets and over 80K likes which are increasing by the minute. Netizens expressed how the post warmed their hearts and shared similar stories.

Mine was nearly identical. My daughter is a charge RN at local hospital. They have one confirmed patient & 2 others tested inpatient on her floor. She called me Sunday night to tell me, “Mom, it’s not a matter of ‘if’ I get it, it’s a matter of ‘when’. “ /1 — carol (@beachws) March 17, 2020

My daughter is in charge of a large clinic. She has two kids...I begged her to find a way to quarantine. She said, “Mom, I’m a nurse...my staff are on the front line...I would never abandon them or our patients!” Ppl she’s the norm, not the exception!

While most of us have completely gone in isolation, these doctors and nurses are putting themselves right in the centre of it all and saving people's lives. They are the true heroes of this crisis and the whole world needs to bow down to them and thank them.
