Many Brits are saying emergency services have made them most proud of their country today<\/h2>\n

Hero doctors and nurses ran from a nearby hospital to help the injured after a terrorist mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in London today.<\/p>\n

NHS staff at St Thomas’ Hospital, which is adjacent to the bridge, fled from their workstations without hesitation – not knowing whether there was danger ahead and if they were risking their own lives.<\/p>\n

Images taken at the scene of the attack show hospital staff attending to casualties, nurses piling up blankets to distribute to those involved in the attack and, in one particularly haunting image, a medic clutching his head in despair.<\/p>\n

Tonight, it is these helpers who are most playing on people’s minds – not the terrorist who committed the attack.<\/p>\n

They have been described as ‘real heroes’, selflessly risking their own safety to save the lives of others.<\/p>\n

As one person rather eloquently put it on social media: “In the darkest of days, hundreds of heroes appear”.<\/p>\n

So much respect for the doctors and paramedics who ran into danger to help. Real heroes #Westminster<\/a> #Parliament<\/a> #PrayForLondon<\/a><\/p>\n
