I am an animator and I was hospitalized for kidney stones and anemia. First time in my life to get hospitalized and it had to be during a pandemic. During my stay I couldn't help but felt really down. The atmosphere was just so depressing.
But during my stay I got to hear the struggles from the nurses as they they chat in the hallway. How they didn't get to have lunch, didn't get bathroom breaks, and not having enough sleep before work.
Their struggles inspired me to tell their stories in a small way that I can, so I started planning on animating this experience as I was still in hospital bed.
Hoping that it could somehow help nurses get assigned to just enough patients per shift as to not overwhelm them, to get tested and get the care they deserve as healthcare workers, and to be made sure their well-being is taken care of.
