"I was working in one of the vaccine clinics and one of the reception staff came through and asked if we could fit in somebody who should have come a few days before but had missed her appointment.
He said they had told the woman someone else would have used the slot she had missed and then she had explained why she had not attended.Dr Buttar was working at a vaccination clinic when he decided to hug the woman "She had cared for him through the first lockdown and through the summer that followed and he had died shortly before her appointment to come to see us.He said that meant she had had to deal with the death of her husband having had little chance to establish a friend network in the area."And I just took the decision that this was an occasion where I was going to break the rules, and I leaned forward and embraced her.
And he would I am sure do it all again. Who wouldn’t ..good man
i’m really fine with this…
Good for him. In my eyes he’s a star.
And rightly so. That's a GP with compassion, doing what human nature is all about. He has no need to apologise at all.
Imo this is the right thing to Compassion and warmth Over a fear of a flu
Wish my Dr was like him.. Good man
So what good on him
So what
Respect to him. Someone showing some humanity.
Well done such a lovely gesture.
I’m fine with this
The BBC is literally toxic.
Hugging a bereaved out of empathy during COVID-19 is both human and courageous. It's a risk worth taking and deserves our forgiveness and understanding.
Don't even try to compare multiple parties by the rule makers / breakers to a gesture of human compassion!!
This is such a moving thread arising from this GP's experience. So many people experienced same. I did too. No one who has been through all this could forgive BorisJohnson and his seedy cohorts ConservativeParty
It’s called compassion.
Another clickbait to distract people's attention.BorisJohnsonMustGo BorisJohnsonResign JohnsonTheCorruptPM
and...bless him
So fukin what. Have a word with yourselves.
Wish he was my GP . HERO
The covid fear that the media is promoting NurembergTrialsForCovid
Why is this new worthy
And talk about scraping the barrel bbc.
Did he have booze in the suitcase? Ffs grow up.
Honestly so sad that giving a hug is wrong. Compassion is required.
😱 The humanity of it all! Say it isn’t so because you know, COVID.
...why is this news? Are you just blanket trying to discredit the rules? I wonder why...
Well done Sir 👏🏻
This is Not news!
And this is news why
Well done that man !
BBC you really are hitting rock bottom. Hope you're not trying to compare this with bodger and Co. Maybe you're trying to compete with the daily mail
So….?
Compassionate man....
