In the UK it is said that the National Health Service is the closest thing we have to a unifying religion. I have many close friends and family working in hospitals during this pandemic, including my husband. I have seen their spirits drained, their hope faulter and yet they remain strong. There are some universal human truths behind a health service and those that work in them. They are a collective story of love and compassion, just like traditional religions. They are worthy of our worship and our faith. Together we heal.
