'Health workers are human too'
A medical practice in Ramsey says staff have been called 'ridiculous and useless' by frustrated members of the public.
It's issued a call for calm on social media, and stressed that front line health workers 'have the same concerns' as everyone else at this 'worrying time'.
Verbal abuse has also been reported at the Island's pharmacies, some of which are now closing for an hour each day to give staff 'breathing space'.
