Who cares

How does one get to the point where a day dedicated to doing good for others can seem so darned hard? When I can be exhausted and drained from doing what I love to do. Wow!

I am so frustrated by the lack of concern and caring for others. In my profession, the Hippocratic Oath says "first do no harm." It does not say "then do nothing else."

I am appalled at the practice of giving someone a diagnosis and then saying "bye bye." No information on how to follow up, what to do, how to live with that diagnosis, or where it came from.

I feel that I am working very hard to put the CARE back in health care... and I wish my colleagues would do the same.

I am tired. I am going home where I hope someone will care for me with a nice meal.
