I can totally see why. It's very difficult to see clarity when you don't (at least I don't) have much faith in the medical community as a whole. When I was getting my training, 100 years ago, I felt most of the time I was around people who cared. I have been rethinking that. I thought about a pt. that was in a wheelchair near the nurses station, definitely distressed. These were all seasoned nurses. They had been in clinic much longer than I had. But, maybe because I had been hospitalized so many times, I saw her distress. I asked if she wanted to be in a exam room right away. Turns out she had just come from chemo and was horribly sick. She unwrapped her scarf. She was so sick, she felt no embarrassment. I offered her ice chips. Was anything I did a big deal? Nope. But my point is, we are all people who need to be seen and heard. We need to know our options and be given truthful facts about outcomes. I hope compassion starts to return, and striving for profits diminish. I just want to have someone care and from that, offer honest help. Not trying to be sanctimonious. I'm just tired....like many other in here.
