CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

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.

Well said, K.

This is a matter close to my heart. Having worked in mental health for 30 years, and still doing so, the human factor is tantamount to moi in any work situation. When people in health care work, they give... relentlessly... of themselves. To me these are about the most valuable folks on this ball in the sky. The people in health and education should be cherished and relentlessly acknowledged, valued and supported with all we have. The demands are beyond most folk's comprehension.

I've been burnt out and fckd up on a few occasions, which was one of the motivators to writing novels and screenplays... an outlet that harnesses the imagination and provides excellent escape from the incredible demands of care. Rewarding demands, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but demands that necessitate other outlets to prevent burnout and maintain life balance/enjoyment.
