Hey, fellow healthcare workers...

[Ilsa]

I've been feeling really unappreciated by clients lately. I think I just wanted a bitch session here. But maybe your responses of lack of appreciation will make me feel better.

1. I get it every day.....

and it sucks. It would be nice if someone would actually say, THANK YOU once in a while... we are so damn under appreciated!

2. It's been pretty good for me lately....

but I have my days when everybody wants to complain to me about their care whether I had anything to do with it or not. It really makes me want to get out of the field a lot of days. I've whittled myself down to 2 days a week of 12 hour shifts and no more. I just couldn't take all the stress regardless of the money.

4. Atleast I am in a private facility

that is elective surgery. so my patients are pretty happy, but they always bow to the surgeon.... after all the surgeon is god, just remember that! :P

3. Yes, healthcare workers are under siege. I work in the ER, and

sometimes it seems like they come IN angry at us.
