Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a nurse named Louis Pieterma, who was known for caring for Covit-19 when he was hospitalized, was decorated by the President in London this Friday, June 1st.
Pidorma was decorated with the Order of Merit by Marcelo Rebello de Souza.
“It’s a recognition of the hard work and effort I put in over the years.
Shortly after being liberated from St.. Thomas, who was admitted to hospital in London for a week in April 2020 with worsening symptoms, including three nights in intensive care, posted a video on social networking site Twitter thanking various health professionals who believed Boris Johnson had saved his life. Life highlights the Portuguese, whom he called “Louis, from Portugal.”

“I took care of the Prime Minister like any other person,” said Pitharma, who shared the distinction with many Portuguese nurses working in the UK: “I hope my colleagues do a better job than I do. I did.”
Two years after the incident, he revealed that the case was still a cause for “jokes” with colleagues, but he did not hide his anger at the recent scandal involving illegal parties during the epidemics at Johnson’s Downing Street.
“I do not think this is a good move. The British people and all the people who have tried to fight this epidemic, especially in the UK, need a little more consideration and a little more respect,” he said.
Boris Johnson has already responded to these results. He talks about the union, and he says “I will continue with the agenda.”
