Watch: Male Nurse's Unique Plea To Govt Asking For PPE Kits For Medical Workers Goes Viral

One concern doctors and medical workers across the world have while they fight coronavirus is the quantity and quality of medical equipment like Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits provided by the government.

You might have seen various videos of doctors pleading with the government to provide them with PPE kits and masks however one doctor took a more, ahem, 'seductive' approach. Here's the male nurse from Seattle, Washington, US, who's making waves online.

Twitter

He posted a video of himself trying to ¡®seduce¡¯ the government and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for ¡®appropriate PPE and hazard pay¡¯.

Henry Tieu is a wedding and adventure elopement photographer by day and an emergency resident nurse by night. In the video, he can be seen dancing with medical equipment at a hospital. He hangs a COVID-19 sign by the door. He gracefully and purposefully slides and stretches on equipment to garner attention creatively.

Even though his video is viral, that is not the only method Henry has resorted to, to make people aware of the conditions in which doctors, nurses and paramedical staff are working in. He shared a lengthy post on Instagram which started with, ¡®Before I leave my car to go working the hospital, I take a couple of deep breaths¡¯.

Before I leave my car to go work in the hospital, I take a couple of deep breaths, focus on my breathing, and Cardi-B prep talk myself into leaving all the anxieties behind. I see how the CDC change their guidelines 180 degrees around so we can conserve PPE. I see how it is the best decision to do in the current SITUATION but truly not the best decision for FRONTLINE HEATH CARE WORKERS or to keep us safe. I can¡¯t speak about my own hospital due to privacy and confidentiality policies. But one thing I can say for sure is that healthcare workers across America are struggling with getting enough and appropriate PPE to take care of patients SAFELY. I, and also all of my colleagues, take care of patients, listen to their lung sounds, heart sounds, reposition them so they don¡¯t get bed sores, run into their rooms when things go South: Our faces inches away from our patients, breathing the same air they do, Social Distancing is NOT AN OPTION for us. Upon leaving the hospital, the entire drive home, I sit in silence, tracing my every moves throughout the shift, asking whether I cleaned my hands enough, am I bringing anything home to my family? I don¡¯t want to speak for all of healthcare workers out there but I can say that we go to work because we care, because we want to make a difference, because we want to help others. This post is not to ask you to do anything for healthcare workers but to share with you what healthcare workers have to face everyday. Stay Home For Us!

The government of respective nations should start paying attention to the pleas of doctors as they are the only ones who can help win the fight against coronavirus.
