"It was the very day I had returned from vacation. A colleague who was at the Fnac in Plaza Catalunya at the time called me and told me that something big was happening because they weren't allowed to go outside," she recalls. She's neither a doctor nor a nurse: she's a healthcare social worker at Hospital del Mar. "I immediately thought they would take most of the patients to our hospital," she says. She left home without a second thought and went to her workplace, as did many other healthcare professionals that day. "I remember there was no one on the streets; everyone had locked themselves in at home, and when I got to the Emergency Room, I said, 'What can I do?' And they replied, 'Do what you know,'" she explains.</p>]]></description>
