On Being a Hero: An Honor and a Burden?

Health care staff are being applauded as heroes. Signs with “Heroes Work Here” have appeared across the country in front of nursing homes and hospitals. In urban areas, people share their gratitude for health care heroes by banging on pots and pans and clapping as the workers head off to work. Everyone likes a hero story — someone who prevails against the odds and makes the world a better place. We feel uplifted and inspired, at a time when we need it most.
