CV and mad panic behaviour

[kruddler]

A system under extreme pressure will bring out the worst in some (resorting to type) and the best in others. But everyone has a limit in terms of workload and expectation.

The first question I ask myself is how the hell did our health care system become so vulnerable, so below par when really needed to stand up? You probably have to go back to when Kennett tore the guts out of health care (mental health included) to satisfy the bottom line (loot). Then successive governments not being bold, caring or visionary enough to effect meaningful repairs and growth.

Some people forget that the health care system is made up of people.
People have been under ever increasing amounts of stress.
People have been basically underpaid for a long time.
People have started choosing quality of life over the stresses of working within the health care system.

I know of 2 people who took early retirement.
1 who started having babies again to get themselves out of that system.
Several others who have contemplated a completely different career path.

Don't underestimate the fragilty of people in the healthcare system.
