| > But, why would anyone want to do the job? > I do believe that the rigorous training model leads to a higher quality of care and much deeper understanding of the disease process. you somewhat answer your own question in the prior sentence. maybe not want, maybe called, or cared, maybe something else. not that it is binding or permanent, not that it should be. but for all of the words spent about how it is a bad choice, how it has harmed you directly, how the money isn’t great, you’re bringing up positives, for patients. you sound burned out. that’s not a criticism, nor should it be a badge of honor. maybe i have totally misjudged, but the career choice doesn’t sound like a purely financial decision for you. even if not, even if i misjudge this, you, you did that ten hour plus death march. you gave your best efforts though that patient may go blind anyway, though they may feel punitive about it towards you. you still did it. someone had to. by your own words, the patient NEEDED the procedure. you needed to go home, and be with family. the patient got the procedure. in case no one else has said it, or joining in with anyone that already has: thank you, stranger. |
