Emergency room nurse in Kamloops recalls the emotional toll of a verbal attack

An emergency room nurse in Kamloops recalls the emotional toll of a verbal attack she recently faced from a woman at a grocery store after another gruelling workday.

Jaime Gallaher says she was still red-eyed from crying at work after anti-vaccination protests outside the ER when a woman swore at her, so she left her carton of milk and went home after breaking down in tears.

Experts are raising concern over, moral injury, among health-care workers suddenly targeted after several provinces brought in vaccine passports.

Roughly 5,000 people gathered a week earlier outside Vancouver General Hospital, coinciding with other protests at health-care facilities in the province, prompting Premier John Horgan to say that targeting and harassing health-care workers is completely unacceptable.
