This striking piece from the Puffins in Hoodies collection captures the reality many healthcare workers know all too well. Dressed in a heather grey hoodie and stethoscope, this Newfoundland puffin stands calmly while the reflection in its sunglasses tells a different story: a burning dumpster marked "NOPE" beside an emergency sign.
It's a humorous nod to the dark humour often used by nurses, emergency room staff, paramedics, and healthcare professionals to navigate challenging days. Behind the laugh is a deeper message about resilience, dedication, and showing up for others even when the system feels overwhelmed.
