I have been avoiding doctors more recently and the medical community can judge all they want but since covid they are no longer protecting patience in my opinion anymore along with the judging and the old dated information they provide you with. It's a shame a lot of us on here are staying away. Getting medical care should not give us more stress and anxiety, doctors are supposed to be of service for you, to help you. You literally pay for their service to you. Sad state of affairs for all of us these days.[/quote]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? Doctors and other healthcare workers were going in to work when everyone else was sitting home! DH lived in our basement for months without coming in contact with me and DC b/c he was on the frontline.

when I started in healthcare, we never had to talk about safety, except perhaps when walking to the parking lot at night. And that was only in the city. Not now. Patients and families can be horrid to work with. Just spend a few hours in the ER at any city hospital for a few hours. Let’s see how long you would be able to last.[/quote]

DP. Yep. I had colleagues I knew, people I was friends with, had backyard barbeques with, go onto ventilators at our hospital and die. I went to their funerals.

We all went silent at our hospital when the word came out that the ED docs wouldn't come to codes in the rest of the hospital, because it took too long to get in and out of PPE. We had to just do the best we could on our own. We were trained on how to do compressions through plastic sheeting before the vaccines came out, because we were reusing N95s and were trying to help without taking down more core frontline workers.

But here at DCUM, sometimes I get to read about how we are drama queens, or like to talk about our trauma, or expect people to bow down before us. That we think we are "special," or "playing God." I get it -- the last 5 years have been hard on all of us, and often these are just one or two people mouthing off with a chip on their shoulders and an axe to grind. It's fine.

But your healthcare workers aren't the same, and they are never going to be. None of the telling us to just get over it makes it that it didn't happened. I actually expected to die (high risk from COVID for congenital defect reasons) and packed my place up so it wouldn't be messy to clean out for my co-workers. That's always going to stay with me, and it changes how much I can put up with now. I'm not as resilient as I was before. [/quote]
Thank you for being there. I’m sorry it’s been so hard. [/quote]
