[quote=Anonymous]I'm a provider. I don't judge my patients mostly because they are very, very sick (I work in a hospital ICU). When I was an ER doc, I was mostly too busy to give much thought to my patients beyond getting them stable and getting them either admitted or out the door. I also saw thousands of cases over those few years. Some terrible, terrible sad cases. To protect yourself you sort of have to create an emotional wall. I care about my patients and want them to do as well as possible. But I can't take that home to my marriage or small children. I definitely feel empathy for my patients and their loved ones. I can see the difficulty that the end of life, critical illness, and other scary components of entering the medical industrial complex can have on someone who doesn't go there on a daily basis. I don't judge my patients. I feel for them within the bounds of professional health.[/quote]
