This story of the NHS staff working in Manchester represents ‘everything great about this country’

There are some amazing people in this world.

As things currently stand, Greater Manchester Police are appealing for any information regarding the heinous and deplorable attack that took the lives of 22 people and injured 59 others. Emergency numbers have been established for anyone who is concerned any loved ones who may not have returned home: 0161 856 9400 or 0161 856 9900. In the aftermath, there have been so many acts of kindness that it's hard to describe and quantify the sheer outpouring of decency from the public at large. As the entire world was shook and eagerly waiting on any information, various taxi men, members of the public, doctors, nurses and members of the medical profession went above and beyond in their efforts to help those in need. They're all heroes. In fact, so many people offered to donate their blood to help the victims that they were actually refused. https://twitter.com/GiveBloodNHS/status/866957256092520449 In just one of the many humanitarian acts of kindness, this account from the on-call anaesthetist at Manchester Royal infirmary is an indication of just how tirelessly the NHS medical staff worked throughout the evening to help those in need. In their own words "dozens upon dozens attended to help" and this response from the medical profession "represented everything great about this country. Compassion. Empathy. Tireless sacrifice and above all else profound unity." It adds : "staff from almost every imaginable background, race and religion came together and put their all into caring for those wounded. I was proud to be a small part of such a  dedicated team, every bit as diverse as our community." Here's the entire story that details the work of these heroes. https://twitter.com/NHS_RoadShow/status/866972957171732480
